RE: 100 Greatest TV shows...

Dexter needs to be on the list - it had issues later but based on what IS listed it is hard not to sit back and say that Dexter isn't at least better than half the list.

And there is no F-ing way that David Letterman is better than Johnny Carson - Letterman couldn't lick Carson's boots. So that's just plain dumb.

Plus it's kind of weird to have sitcoms versus hour long dramas and talk shows. Comedies are generally not taken as seriously (even though many actors will tell you that it is far more difficult to pull of comedy than drama).

Granted these things are personal taste - I much prefer Boston Legal to most of the stuff on this list. And I would have DS9 or TNG over the original Star Trek. Since the list is all over the map - I'd put COSMOS on it. Teach the southern American some science they clearly never learned in school - it helps when you read more than one book your whole life. Blackadder has to be here and there is no better sitcom than Faulty Towers.

Is Frasier there? It's probably the best American sitcom that eclipsed the show it spun off from. I may have missed it but if it's not there something is seriously seriously wrong - it should be way ahead of Friends at the very least.
