I'm just saying the is a reason why The Emmies and Golden Globes have best Comedy Series and Best Drama Series. You judge each by different merits. Fraiser, Seinfeld and South Park are amongst my favourite shows but if I had to compared them to dramas as Best, they wouldn't even make the grade. I just have a feeling in this format most sitcoms will get left behind and none get their fair shake.
Also, can we nominate again eventually?
Bob !! That's an awesome list !! Thank you for the China Beach reminder, btw. :thumbsup:

Definitely, but, would someone else please nominate The Bob Newhart Show? Yes, Newhart in the 80s, but TBNS also is an oft overlooked classic. :clap:
Cant belive I forgot about The X-Files and Married with Children
And as far as The Three Stooges goes - they were on TV weekly back then! I rememberw as I was always getting scolded by my Grandmother for watchibng them as trash shows. Of course my Grandmother also hated many of the 1960s comedies that I loved.
However, due to the semantics of it all I'll change my vote for the 50s to The Honeymooners - Jackie Gleason at his best!
As long as Lost is nominated, I'm cool :)
1990s - Fraiser
2000s - Battlestar Galactica
1950s Red Skeleton Show
1960s Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour
1970s The Bob Newhart Show
1980s Roseanne
1990s News Radio, The Larry Sanders Show
2000s Boston Legal
Ah, I can't believe I forgot Roseanne. Also, News Radio was a good one. :thumbsup:
I nominate Lost for the 2000s
And Doctor Who
For Every decade
ok fine 70s Doctor Who
Both already nominated, sorry.
Imagine we get a LOST vs Dr. Who bracket ? ...
(rubs hands together earnestly)
Rubbing hands together too, feev! I wouldn't if it didn't have "best show of decade" rounds first, of course, since on a board which has only a few Doctor Who fans (avid fans, we may be, but still few) on a board that loves Stephen King, a show that's had a lot of influence from the storytelling of sai King is easily gonna win a lot of votes in a round like that, even I will admit that!
But if Doctor Who actually makes it far enough to win best show of the 60s (or at least best show that started in the 60s), and goes up against Lost in a semi-final or even a final round, well, I'll be happy enough. It will be interesting to see how it pans out, anyway.
I'd love to start watching Doctor Who, it looks really interesting, but as it's such a long-running series (close to 800 episodes) it's sort of daunting.
Just start from the 2005 series, pablo, listed as "Series One" on netflix. It is a lot of fun, and yes, it has history, but the Eccleston series was meant to be watched by the whole family after an absense of nearly 16 years, so naturally, it's also the perfect jumping on point. Give it a try.
