8. I Love Lucy
9. Curb Your Enthusiasm
10. Arrested Development
Homicide is number two or three on my list. One of the reasons I haven't settled it enough to post. I know St. Elsewhere, Homicide, the X-Files and Fawlty Towers somehow make up the top four, but after that, I get confused. Lost is in there somewhere, as is Jeopardy. Star Trek: TNG? Dr. Who? Monty Python? The Bob Newhart Show? The Prisoner? The Civil War (I think it counts)? Hill Street Blues? Picket Fences? The Practice? The Simpsons (has to have a place in the top 10)?
Too many choices.

Another classic. Aaron Sorkin's best work, IMO. Not too overreaching or preachy like "The West Wing" and "Studio 60."

Oh, someone mentioned SCTV....
Okay. This is impossible.
