-Holy crap! Minerva found her turtle. I'm annoyed because I didn't see where she found it at and it's been missing for months! I can only assume she's known where it's been all along but I looked every where and I couldn't find the damn thing. She's been carrying it around and talking to it all morning

I agree with most of the list. I just would have deleted some and added more "classic" shows. and I love Seinfeld. I feel the way you feel about it about Family Guy though, and Friends to s certain extent. I just always found Friends mediocre and amazingly overrated. I know I am in the minority in that though! I also wouldn't have put Heroes on the list and it isn't because I don't care for it, it is just that it has only been on two seasons. now Spaced was only on two seasons, Fawlty Towers one, Vmars only had three- but those were the runs for those shows. I am assuming Heroes will be on for a while and that leaves plenty of time for it to screw up and begin sucking. there are others shows on I don't like but don't have a problem with them being on such a list like Six Feet Under or The Shield. I just couldn't get into to them. I agree SATC probably shouldn't be on the list, and Firefly as much as I love it, I probably wouldn't have it on the list either. and probably Quantam Leap too, I did like it but I wouldn't put it in the top fifty. Frasier is on the list, but I really think Cheers should be on it as well. I have no idea why I am writing this much about a silly list, other than the fact that I am in a bad mood and want to bitch about something! I think it because it is so contemporary, while many of my all time favorite shows are on it, I think they left off too many older series!. and oh, yeah, no Homicide?! for shame! I't put it over several of these shows, including ones in their top five. oh, well to each their own.

Family Guy is one of those shows I can only watch in small doses like I Love Lucy or Gilligan's Island. It's also a very college show in that I mostly watched it with a group of people.
I didn't even realize they put Frasier on there and not Cheers. That's criminal. Cheers is so much better than Frasier ever hoped to be. On a whole the cast of Cheers was just better.
I love Firefly but I think half the reason it has the reputation it does is because it didn't last more than a season.

agreed about Cheers versus Frasier and I loved a lot of Frasier. I think Frasier gets higher points sometimes because it went so far into the realm of drama. it is kind of like how Scrubs has gone, I don't find Scrubs often very funny anymore but I still enjoy the drama and want to find out about how the characters turn out in the end. it was the same thing with Frasier, while Cheers on the other hand was pretty hilarious to the end. yes the characters remained more or less the same the whole time, but it was supposed to be a sitcom, not a drama!
I totally agree about Firefly, I would maybe put it in the top fifty shows, if it had gotten more seasons and had a chance to grow, or if it had been intended for just one season and the arc had been complete. I enjoyed Serenity but I think it is overrated a bit, at least by fans. I think it was a solid movie but not all that fantastic.

I could've lived without Serenity because at least with just one season I know that Wash is still alive! Serenity just gave Joss the chance to do what he does best: kill off my favorite character for no good goddamn reason.
