What shows do you think are missing from the list? What shows don't deserve to be on the list?

You know, I'm absolutely certain that MATH+1 will have my head for this, but freakin' SEINFELD can BITE ME! I hate that show so very, very much. Just so you know.

Seemed more like the 50 most popular than the 50 greatest.

Jessa, I am only going to bite 1/2 of your head off.

I was a HUGE Seinfeld fan for the first 4 or 5 seasons. However, once the story lines starting running toward Kenny Rogers Chicken, I lost my love for Jerry & Co. Although I do believe that Seinfeld was a great show, I am not sure that I agree with its #1 place on the list.

What I can't believe is that they could leave off shows like "The Odd Couple" and "Leave It to Beaver". And, (I know I am going to get slammed on this) where is "The Real World"? I know that it may not be one of the greatest ever but it certainly started a whole new genre of television.

I'm surprised The Sopranos is so high on the list. It's a great show and all, but top 10? I don't know.

Where's Sex and the City?

And I agree on The Real World thing. It's the reason shows like Survivor et al exist, in my opinion.

Word on "Leave it to Beaver" and "The Real World." Along those lines, traditionally adolescent programming seems under-represented. Not that, like, "Saved by the Bell" belongs there, but wasn't there something of that ilk with better quality? It's an entire genre.
