	That's alotta good TV!!

	is89:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:40 GMT	10 points
	At least it's got Monty Python on it....

	Manners:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	73 points
	Wow. No Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune...

Comment below threshold: show it

	montecarlo:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:48 GMT	19 points
	bears. beets. battlestar galactica.

	huey782:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:51 GMT	-2 points
	Fresh Prince?

	hungryj0e:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 19:55 GMT	4 points
	Wow...that was incredibly hard, but in a good way. A lot of shows I just couldn't come up with but when I saw them later was like oh yeah. Surprised at some not there for sure though.

	RandallPinkston:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT	14 points
	All in all, this is a pretty good list. Wide World of Sports ought to be enough for ABC's Wide World of Sports. My choice for overlooked show: Chappelle's Show.

	thomfountain:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:02 GMT	11 points
	Also, X-Files isn't a News Program. Great quiz though!

	MistrSac:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:03 GMT	6 points
	"The X-Files" is listed as a news program???

	MistrSac:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:03 GMT	1 point
	Wow, Thom. You beat me by a few seconds.

	klogg:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:08 GMT	35 points
	My reasoning for the X-Files being listed as a NEWS program: Sporcle is subtly trying to tell us that they believe, and that the truth is out there. DoodoodoodooDOOdooooo....

	29smitty:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:08 GMT	4 points
	No CSI? I'm a little embarrassed I missed the Daily Show since I watch it every night.

	JerseyAndy:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:10 GMT	7 points
	"Thats why you ain't had no shows, you ain't in movies, you had Seinfeld and that's it"

	LoveShack:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:12 GMT	3 points
	Got X Files, but was disturbed to see it as News. Also I thought Jimmy Neutron definitely didn't deserve to be here, and the fellow above was correct as it is not on the list... hmm.

	solaser:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:13 GMT	14 points
	The MONKEES?! These are supposed to be the best TV shows of all-time, right?

	itisofmyopinion:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:15 GMT	3 points
	I'm so excited to see some of my favorite underrated shows here! WKRP, The Monkees, Carol Burnett, Burns and Allen, What's My Line...

	phils93:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:17 GMT	1 point
	along the lines of what randallpinkston said, if "pee wee herman" is accepted, then "wide world of sports" or at least "abc wide world of sports" should be accepted.

	catenary:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:22 GMT	46 points
	Wow, I really thought Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood would've made the list!

	joshow:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:25 GMT	33 points
	No Frasier???

	redsxfenway:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:29 GMT	1 point
	Pretty proud of myself for Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.

	mathias1979:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:32 GMT	10 points
	great quiz! had i realized everything was listed in alphabetical order and not by rank, I probably figured out a few more than I did.

Comment below threshold: show it

	dykstra:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	17 points
	Not a bad list. Kind of shocked Law and Order wasn't on it, but really glad MST3K was.

	jstef1209:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	9 points
	WHERES ALF???????

	loose_cannon:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:48 GMT	-4 points
	Why was Beavis and Butthead omitted? It was my second answer after MST3K.

	jaspa:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:51 GMT	12 points
	Could "late show" be accepted for Late Show with David Letterman, as well as "Flying Circus" for "Monty Python's Flying Circus?"

	jaspa:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:52 GMT	2 points
	Time almost made for the bull***t MTV inclusion by also including Arrested Development.

	Robert_Seth:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 20:53 GMT	27 points
	Answer: probably the most important and popular game show ever. Question: What is Jeopardy? Question: WHERE is Jeopardy? Answer:...

	ted:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:13 GMT	12 points
	"Late Night" should count for "Late Night with David Letterman."

	caligal14:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	2 points
	I agree with the Jeopardy's and the CSI's. I was kinda hoping House would be on here, but maybe that's just cuz it's MY favotie, haha. I only got Gilmore Girls cuz that's what I'm watching right now... I wouldn't have suspected it otherwise...

	IHateRegistering:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT	4 points
	Alright now hold on, how the hell is Jimmy neutron on this list? Anyone with something that resembles a brain will notice how repetitive and dumb that show is.

	IHateRegistering:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:15 GMT	16 points
	And what about Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry? How are those not up there?

	cntower:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:18 GMT	-1 points
	No Blossom??

	Jaspers:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:22 GMT	11 points
	@Jaspa: MTV is seen by many as responsible for bringing cable television into the mainstream by offering niche markets, 24 hour air play and the legendary "I want my MTV" marketing strategy. At the time, however, there was no actual programming. Just music videos, commercials, and VJ bumpers around the clock, much like a radio station. As such, no program can be credited because no program existed; just a network.

	Chumley:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:24 GMT	0 points
	Buffalo Bill? really? It wasn't that good. [I got Soap just because I saw the word soap for type of show.] [ I think it is time that LOST be considered science-fiction.] [Which incarnation of Battlestar Galactica is that?] [What makes General Hospital better than any other soap? The weather machine?]

	debbiedoesnothin:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	7 points
	@jaspa: MTV was groundbreaking - and great - in its early years. It hasn't been good since at least 1992, but the list acknowledged that.

	dtownstomp:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:28 GMT	4 points
	HALF OF THESE SHOWS ARE AWFUL. JIMMY NEUTRON AND THE SHIELD? WHERE'S TOM AND JERRY DAMMIT. ER? LAW AND ORDEr? FRASIER? FRESH PRINCE?

	notsobaldbull:	Aug 26th, 2009 at 21:35 GMT	2 points
	Mr Show with Bob and David? Roccos Modern Life? I've always been more of a Newsweek fan anyways.
