"Cheers" is one of the most overrated shows ever in the history of television. I watched it several times during its heyday and never laughed once. Even after all these years it's still riding a wave of hype, which makes people put it at the top of lists like this. "The Golden Girls" was a million times funnier than "Cheers" would ever hope to be and they only ranked at #12. Deplorable.

Surely Dallas should be listed. It lasted well over 10 seasons and was the most watched TV moment for quite a while. A fantastic drama, the likes of which we haven't seen since!

I am frustrated that the list did not appear to be readable to me but am inferring from replies here what made the list. All i can say is that i'm glad Hill Street Blues made it as it is in my view the most influential cop show of all time having paved the way for so much that followed in addition to being appointment television.

The Fall Guy & Buck Rogers does not get any better than that !!!!!

Why is there no love for Growing Pains and Who's the Boss? Both great shows that deserved to be in that list. I really wished the studio's would release the rest of the seasons (only the subpar first seasons of both are released) on DVD. I re-watched Growing Pains and it still holds up. Am I the only one who loved both of these shows growing up? Sheesh.

MacGyver should certainly be higher. That was the best show of all, in my opinion.

And my favorite comedy by far was Perfect Strangers (nothing could cheer me up faster than watching Balki and Larry). I didn't see it at all on the list, unless I missed it somewhere.

Wow, no "Wonder Years", at all? Didn't even make the list? List is void.

I liked St. Elsewhere a lot. Very ground breaking TV show in the 1980's

Quantum Leap pioneered Character driven SF in my opinion and for that, I'd say it's one of the best.

Plus it always felt more 80's than 90's :P
