Geez, no mention of "Northern Exposure", the series where David Chase got his start (in season 5)? If Bill Cosby didn't have his sickness for strong-arming sex, bet his ground-breaking series "I Spy" & "Cosby Show" woulda been included somewhere on that list. Along with "A Different World". No "12 0' Clock High" either? A lot of Rockford's vibe was incorporated from David Janssen's last series "Harry O", which introduced Farrah Fawcett-Majors & Loni Anderson as next door stewardesses. And how can a supposed music magazine not even mention "WKRP"? Nor A.B.C.'s "Monday Night Football", which brought N.F.L. football to main-stream audiences via Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell (who informed America about John Lennon's tragic death), & Dandy Don Meridith? These nowadaze Rolling Stone lists should be taken with proverbial grain of salt, like when Bessie Smith or Billie Holliday are rated as the 60th greatest singers of all time.

I thought David Chase (of the Soprano's) got his break in the 1970's Rockford Files? It may have been before that.
You're right, eppis1. Chase did work on Rockford Files. He morphed NEx from its' gentle nature into a more mean-spirited direction in its' last seasons. Which apparently inspired that Soprano vibe a few years later. ... Another show which deserved mention would be "The Lieutenant", Gene Roddenberry's first show. Hard to imagine nowadays, but it depicted a peace-time Marine Corps. Although Viet-Nam's spectre was in the back ground. Only lasted one season, but starred Gary Lockwood as Lt. William Tiberius (yes, Tiberius) Rice & Robert Vaughn as Captain Raymond Rambridge. Plenty of future Star Trek actors too.
"12 0' Clock High" & "WKRP"
--------Thumbs Up!!!-------
