Oh. My. God.
That was by far the hottest love scene EVER on TV. *drool*



*goes take a cold shower*

I wish the scene existed in it's entirety on YouTube.  The video I found cuts off just before the...uh...climax. 

I am making sexual puns now.   :o    People on the internet have been a bad influence on me!  :hammer:

We're two pages into this thread, and nobody's mentioned Cheers and Seinfeld. I'm disappointed.  :hammer:

How could I forget Cheers!   :thatsright:

I thought Frasier was really good, too.

Some of my all time faves:

The Sopranos
The Shield
House
The Wire
the original Law & Order (<-- the ones with Lenny Briscoe, may he rest in peace)
Homicide: Life on the Street
Law & Order: SVU
The X Files
24
the original CSI

... and can I list Jeopardy?   :-)


Why not, the Mensa people did.

I like when I used to catch old Match Games on the Game Channel.  Gene Rayburn was genius!

My list in no particular order:

Xfiles
MacGyver
Star Trek
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Monty Python is great.

X-Files, I've seen every episode while it aired but never really have revistited it.  And I was overseas when MacGyver was on so I never really saw it except for one TV movie I think where they go looking for the gold of the Incas and it turns out to be corn.  Which David Lynch later used in Twin Peaks as cream corn.

One show I didn't list and I haven't seen all of them yet but it is Jeeves and Wooster starting Doctor House.  One show was about newts and it was particularly funny, which is why I bought the DVD's of the series but haven't watched them yet.  Oh yeah, House was in Black Adder too which some people have listed.

"The Ed Sullivan Show" is probably the most important entertainment program that's been on TV so far, and it's been gone 38 years. 
I have never seen the Ed Sullivan show except for clips.  Maybe one day they'll have a Best Of compilation on DVD.

There was a while when they were showing The Show of Shows I think it was called and I highly enjoyed that which reminds me of The Honeymooners, which should have made my list.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Firefly
House
Lost
24

This is all IMHO
Firefly was great.  It was so sad that Fox seemed determined to kill that show off right from the start.  I love Serenity.  It's amazing they were able to make that.

At the time, though, I just decided to enjoy as many as Fox would show.  Whenever I start watching a show on Fox, I just assume it will be dead after 3 episodes.  Sarah Conner seems to be doing good, though.

The A Team
The Six Million Dollar Man
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Beverly Hillbillys
Married With Children
The A Team was great.  So 1980's!

And I never missed an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man when I was a kid.  I used to wear my fancy Grrranimals and pretend to be Steve Austin and run in slow motion.

The best episodes I remember is the bigfoot one.  I thought that red haired alien was hot. It really made me want to move to California and live in the SA fault.

You didn't like Angel?

That show made me fall asleep.  Besides, I became a Spike/Buffy fanatic, so good riddance to that other vampire.  :p
I always thought Charisma Carpenter was hot and I stopped watching Buffy after she left but somehow never seen an episode of Angel.  I think about that time, I was just tired of vampires in general.

I mean, except for Dracula: Bus of the Undead, they never do anything.  But then I watched Blade the other day and thought that was a pretty good vampire movie.

Dexter is really one of the best shows on cable right now.  I didn't think they would be able to sustain it.

That reminds me, I really loved Rome and the Tudors is great too.

I thnk I caught every episode of Cheers when it came on Nick at Nite a few years ago and honestly, I can't see what the hype was about.  Well, I really liked the early seasons with Coach and Diane but the show seemed so stale when that other lady came.

I'm one of the few people in America who hasn't seen more than a few minutes of Seinfeld.

I see no one has given it up for Welcome Back Kotter or Three's Company  :p

A lot of my favorites have been mentioned already.

Hmmm....

Sesame Street

Dukes of Hazzard

Brady Bunch

I Love Lucy

The Dick Van Dyke Show

The Twilight Zone

The Sopranos (the entire last season was traumatic for me, just because it was the last season...and with their final episode, am hoping there is a movie since they left it WAO for one)

Alice

Family Ties

Beverly Hills 90210  :p

Carnivale

Rome


*Got The Waltons for Christmas, and got Northern Exposure for my birthday  :-)

Plan on one day watching Twin Peaks in its entirety from beginning to end, as one of my very best friends in HS religiously watched that show.

Oh, and am currently thrilled with The Tudors and The Riches.

That is all.

I agree "Cheers" has not stood the test of time, which is the real test of a great show.  "Roseanne" is another show the powers that be thought would be a classic, but it too has not aged well.   It is more about the "feel" of a show than the actual content.  Both "Cheers" and "Roseanne" seem cocky and too self-important, which comes off as quaint and stale now that they haven't been on the air in years.  

OTOH, I watched an episode of "Seinfeld" today, the first one in a long time, and laughed out loud.  It amazes me how "Seinfeld" can have four different stories going on in one 22-minute show and have it remain rational (per se).

"Sullivan" was out on VHS, so I can't help but think DVDs are out there too.

Anyone who was anybody crossed the Ed Sullivan stage at one time or the other.  That's what made it important.  Ed even gave rock'n roll a sense of legitimacy, being the first show to feature some of the acts like The Doors, Beatles, Stones, Airplane, etc.  It was all live and it was a television miracle.

I grew up watching Family Matters.  One of my favorite tv shows/sitcoms.  I had a female co-worker at my old job who could have been Urkel's mom.  We teased her about that, and she laughed too.
