I see the headlines touting The Wire and The Sopranos as the best show of all time. Maybe the last ten tears.
Neither of these shows with an ensemble cast would have been possible without Hill Street Blues. And I am sorry, but a tv show about a group of people I would rather not be around (yes, I grew up in an Italian neighborhood where there were guys with knives and guns who at lower level acted like racist militias--yes, there were signs going up to the Murray Hill neighborhood that stated "Niggers Keep Out") or even be reminded that such people existed as best show ever. Nope.
I can remember watching The Twilight Zone in the late 50s or early 60s and know that was great. How about GE Theater? I Claudius perhaps? Put a sense of history to your selections please.
