TV Guide, as part of their 50th anniversary, announced their list of the 50 greatest television shows of all time.
I remember ESPN's list of the top athletes of the 20th Century, and I was upset of their pick of Michael Jordan over #2 Babe Ruth, so I can understand people disagreeing with Seinfeld as the best show of all time.
That show, a quarter of a century later, on reruns on TV Land, is still powerful.

 Top 50 TV Shows of All Time From TV Guide
Two of the great skits on the show were "The Hickenloopers", a battling husband-and-wife team and the clock in the Bavarian town of Baverhoff which always broke when the hour was struck.
The show was a weekly documentary which followed the real life travails of the Loud family, a mixed up cluster of suburbanites.
The show picked up lots of interesting footage, including an on-camera divorce demand from wife Pat to her husband, and the coming-out of one of the children who was gay.

 IMDb user comments for "The Greatest American Hero" (1981)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The network gave the show late starts in all 3 seasons, while other shows began their season rightfully in September, GAH would be forced to debut as late as October or November.
One of the TV shows we always tried to see each week was "The Greatest American Hero." This was a time in American TV when shows were still "light" and the emphasis was on entertainment.
TV shows focusing on crime or politics or "reality" were not even a twinkle yet in the producers' eyes.

 CBC.ca - The Greatest Canadian - Top Ten Greatest Canadians - David Suzuki
On top of the indignities he and his family experienced, he also became a target for other Japanese youth for his refusal to disavow his Canadian roots.
It was around this time that he began appearing as a guest on several TV shows, in part out of curiosity and in part as an effort to drum up public support for what he considered the woefully under-funded sciences.
In the three decades since the award-winning program began, it has featured in-depth documentaries on such topics as the birth of the human mind; the language of animals; the pathology of psychopaths; medical marijuana; the growth of big business farming; and the future of the Arctic.

 iMedia Connection: Nielsen to Track TV Commercial Viewing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
There are also questions about the effectiveness of TV commercials due to the increase of digital video recorders (DVR), which make it easy for viewers to fast forward past the ad breaks of shows recorded earlier on the DVR.
The fact that TV media has been able to continue to sell time based on program viewership ratings without any allowance for commercial erosion is something that advertisers should have been raising with their agencies for a long time.
Sure, TV continues to be a great mass media vehicle for advertisers, but it's past due that media companies charge their clients a fair rate based on a realistic value proposition," adds Parkhill.

 TV is Better than Film - Arts and Faith
The show was clearly about the dark side IMO, but I was along every step of the way and into the "game" of it.
The fact is that the current success of shows like Lost is based on the budgets that have been thrown at them because of the success of previous shows working to make TV a more interesting place.
Today, Studios are trying desperately to rein in their bloated budgets for their tentpole pictures, while TV is able to cannily mix both very cheap and expensive programming depending on what demographic class they are targeting.

 The Four Tops | Biography | MTV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Four Tops' story is one of longevity and togetherness: these Motown legends teamed up in high school and spent over four decades without a single personnel change.
The Four Tops' lone Chess single, "Kiss Me Baby," was an unequivocal flop, and the group moved on to similarly brief stints at Red Top and Riverside.
The Four Tops next caught on with Arista, where in 1988 they scored their last Top 40 pop hit, the aptly titled "Indestructible." The Four Tops were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and continued to tour the oldies circuit.

 Knightmare - 100 Greatest Kid's TV Shows
The makers of the programme first chose what they thought was the 100 'greatest' children's TV programmes, and the public were given the opportunity to vote on their favourites on the Channel 4 website, presumably to decide the eventual order.
This caused some controversy as many popular shows were missed off the list in the first place, and therefore had little chance of even making it on the programme.
After then show, Channel 4 posted an 'updated' list of the Top 100, and shock horror Knightmare was mysteriously moved down a few places.

Actor-bartender Brian and bouncer Greg, who were recruited for the show at a Dave Matthews concert, are ''so stoked'' to join the race.
Brian is at heart a competitor whose greatest accomplishment in life was starting every basketball game his high school varsity season after being cut the prior two seasons.
Plus I liked their "don't do drugs" throwaway to the Peruvian kids because it clearly establishes that they are not running this race merely to win a million dollars or be on TV, they are running it in an effort to end the epidemic that is drug use amongst the young people of our world.

 Are good movies a thing of the past? - Invision Power Services
I could never watch Star Wars 3 on a TV and say that it was as good as it was in the theater.
Star Trek: Enterprise, a show that operated almost exclusively on cashing in on its name and recycling previous Star Trek storylines only attempted anything new or different in its 3rd Season, by which time it was too late, and the shows fate was ultimately sealed.
There's also a slightly irritating penchant for sequels and remakes of 1970s and 1980s TV shows (Starsky and Hutch, The Dukes of Hazard has been mentioned, the A-Team is currently in production) Yet I think with movies like Crash, and Brokeback Mountain there is increasingly a desire to make more high brow movies.
