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.

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!

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.

OT: LOVE the James DePaiva avatar. SO hot!

Mary Tyler Moore

Bob Newhart Show

St. Elsewhere

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.
