I have heard a list of the 50 most influential shows on television was released. I cannot find a news story or anything about it on the Internet. All I know is Seinfeld is #1, followed by I Love Lucy.
Anyone know where I can find this list on the Web? Who compiled it?
This is the one I’ve recently seen. Although, it is a Top 100 list and “I Love Lucy” is #1 and “Seinfeld” is #19. I’m not sure if it’s the one you want, but it’s interesting nonetheless!
There was another list, from Time magazine IIRC, that listed The Simpsons as The. Best. Show. Ever.
I saw Matt Roush from TV Guide talking about that list on “Good Morning America Today,” so I assume the list will be coming out in the next issue of TV Guide.
Their top 5 list was…
Take it with a pound of salt.
Ah, TV Guide. That’s what I figured.
I know Entertainment Weekly had a “Best Shows Ever” list at one point that had Seinfeld at #1, too. :rolleyes: The Simpsons was #10, Hill Street Blues and Lucy were up there, natch, but they inexplicably had The X-Files ranked higher than The Twilight Zone. This was at the former show’s peak of popularity, so maybe 4-5 years ago (pre-Sopranos)
