Mash and Cheers are my all time favorites.
Today's shows? American Pickers, Pawn Stars and I used to like 2 1/2 men until Charlie Sheen was booted. I haven't watched it since.

The seasons that followed were disappointments in my opinion, though.

Interesting list. I used to love a load of those old shows. One that sprung to mind that wasn't on your list was F Troop. That show had me in stitches.

BTW, one of my fave TV Shows of all time was Yes Prime Minister, an episode called The Key. I never tire of watching it.

You're absolutely right. TV at its finest.

What an amazing first season that was.

I'll tell ya, for comedy, the British seem to have a feeling for that sort of thing.

The season where Jerry Lewis did a turn as a New York clothier was my favorite, though the season with Kevin Spacey was fine, too... but Jerry was brilliant in that role, quite compelling...

On a related note, IMO the finest single scene in the history of television sitcoms was the scene where the crew of Taxi took Jim Ignatowski down to get his hack license... every time I see it, it just destroys me...

Jim gets stumped by a question that asks what a yellow light mean, he whispers to Bobby for help, and Bobby (the Jeff Conaway character) whispers "slow down"... Jim looks at him, and says "whaat doooes aaaa yell-lowww liigghhttt meannn"...

"Slow down"

"Whaaaaaatttt doeeesssss aaaaa yellllll-owwww liiiiggghhhhtttt meaaannnnn??"

"Slow down"

"Sigh... whaaaaaaaaaaatttttttt doeeeeesssssss"... well, you get the idea... and about the 4th time through, I'm on the floor... every time...
