No qualifier other than "greatest shows in the history of the art form." IMHO it's a *very* loose interpretation of "history" as in "a hour ago is history." What they got was apparently a "what are you watching this week" type response. Here's the intro as they put in on the web page:

Which is what makes TV so great. There's something for all of us. Just one of the reasons I don't understand flack shows get from "certain groups" who complain about content. If you don't like it you don't have to watch it! Just change the channel! Don't force your idea of a "good" show...

I'd have to disagree. While it's not "great" TV I find the first 3 seasons very entertaining. After that it went downhill. But I'm one who'd put All in the Family (or just about any of the Lear "comedies") in the "All Time Worst" column and many people consider them some of the best ever.

Very Easily. Chef, Open All Hours, Two's Company, Are You Being Served?, The Brittas Empire, Keeping Up Appearances, Waiting For God, Coupling, Men Behaving Badly, Black Books, Blackadder, Marple (any of them), Red Dwarf, As Time Goes By, One Foot in the Grave, The Thin Blue Line, To the...

Fawlty Towers is also on the list. BUT I could easily include a dozen more. Only Fools and Horses, The Vicar of Dibley, Last of the Summer Wine, 'Allo 'Allo, Rising Damp, Rumpole of the Bailey, Lovejoy, Poirot, and many more.

Other than Gunsmoke (at #96 no less!) and Deadwood there are no westerns on the list. I'd also have to ask where are Bonanza, Wagon Train, Rawhide, Maverick, Death Valley Days, or any of several other, influential, westerns? For that matter, where are The Avengers, Hawaii Five-O, Alfred...

Another observation on those "modern" shows on the list. i.e. those that are *still* in production. If I counted properly there are *15* that *started production* in 2000 or after and haven't yet ended. That's horribly skewed.

^fixed it. The compiled list is a copy/paste job from several sites and looking for proper punctuation just wasn't on my radar. :)

A post Bob made in the "Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to a end?" thread got me curious about this list. Here's his post: So... as any self-respecting TVonDVD aficionado would do I had to go take a look. Of course that's not as easy as it sounds in today's world of presenting...
