If this has been done before, I apologize. However, I WOULD like to know everyone's all-time favorite primetime series. Not just CURRENT shows, although you're more than welcome to list those, but shows you have loved over the years. Also, feel free to include as many comedies and/or dramas as you wish. I won't impose any limits.

I always have a hard time differentiating between my "favorite" shows and shows that I really, really like, but I'll try very hard. These are in no particular order, unless you look real close.

Three's Company

The Bob Newhart Show

Sanford and Son

The Beverly Hillbillies

I Love Lucy

Hazel

The Golden Girls

Roseanne

That '70s Show

Alfred Hitchcock Presents

The Rifleman

Charlie's Angels

Little House on the Prairie

Family

Dynasty

Melrose Place

Degrassi: The Next Generation

Dawson's Creek

Friday Night Lights

I still feel like I missed plenty that I view as my "favorite."

I speak fluent Nick at Nite, so for now I'll just stick with the sitcoms:

Roseanne

Coach

The Brady Bunch

I Love Lucy

Friends

The Wonder Years

The Golden Girls

The Facts of Life

Hey, it's an honest list! laugh.png

I'm leaving a bunch off, I'm sure, but right now I'm a little too lazy to think of anymore. I may add more later.

ETA: Damn, I can't deal with the weird appearance my posts take lately when I post emoticons. GAH.

Mary Tyler Moore

Bob Newhart Show

St. Elsewhere

Knots Landing

Wiseguy

no particular order here

That's if you want favorite. If you want shows I liked a lot, that would be a much longer list. I'm also not counting shows which weren't made/aired for the US, since most of this list is only American. If I was, Doctor Who would be on the list.
