Thew and I spoke about this earlier today and I've been pondering my choices. I thought I would share my Top 10 with you guys and see how beat up I get lol.

1. Star Trek Classic - The show that paved the way for the scifi future.
2. Babylon 5 - This revolutionary show introduced viewing audiences to a new concept, the story arc.
3. Mash - Leaving this off the list would be a crime against humanity! Who can forget the death of Henry Blake!
4. The Dick VanDyke Show - For the first time we see a woman on TV who is not your TYPICAL housewife. This was ground breaking.
5. Kimba - Ok so this was considered a cartoon in my day, but it was the first "anime" style cartoon on american TV.
6. Dallas - I know a night time soap but the first of it's kind and paved the way for many more to come.
7. Everwood - Intelligent family drama that dealt with some pretty heavy issues. It's sad that we as viewers don't expect more like this. Instead we're subjected to mediocre reality TV shows whose only requirement is that it's viewing audience have an IQ of 2
8. CSI - Again a show that revolutionized the crime drama formula.
9. Friends - This show ushered in a new way of looking at life, a new way of speaking and a new form of humor. Also probably one of the most successful ensemble casts since Mash.
10. Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Because it was fun!
