Seinfeld: the greatest television show ever; if you're a New Yorker, it has a special place in the heart
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: saw a few entertaining episodes the 1st year but never watched it again!
Kids in the Hall: hit and miss, but when it was funny it was very funny
South Park: awesome
Beavis & Butthead: never got into it
The Prisoner: incredible; great choice
The Young Ones: never seen
Jeopardy: ugh
Night Flight: cool choice
The Magic Flute: didn't see

24: please change the name to 12; this thing is way to drawn out and I'm losing interest
Twin Peaks: enjoyed it
The Beverly Hillbillies: was never a fan
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction: never seen
Tales from the Darkside: very pale rip-off of TZ
Stephen King's The Stand: ugh
Alias: overrated
And the Band Played On: was OK
Millenium: saw one episode; wasn't that the guy from aliens?
The Price is Right: ugh

24 - bought dvds but haven't watched yet
Twin Peaks - started strong, ended weak
The Beverly Hillbillies
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction
Tales from the Darkside
Stephen King's The Stand
Alias
And the Band Played On
Millenium
The Price is Right - pretty weak game show

This is tough. Justin has nothing I like (although I'm guessing I'll like 24), and something I hate. Chuck also has ones I hate, but at least one I know I love, so I guess Seinfeld is the tiebreaker.

Seinfeld - Maybe the best show ever.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Only seen it maybe twice. Didn't grab me.
Kids in the Hall - Very hit or miss. Sometimes great.
South Park - Can be funny, but I have problems with it.
Beavis & Butthead - Very funny show. I wish we could get them on DVD with the videos.
The Prisoner - Haven't seen many, but liked those I have.
The Young Ones - Been too long & I was too young.
Jeopardy - Great show, don't like Trebek.
Night Flight - Hey, I forgot about "Night Flight!" Eh, I can live without it.
The Magic Flute - I didn't know that was a TV show.

24 - Good show.
Twin Peaks - One of the all-time best.
The Beverly Hillbillies - Not really a fan.
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction - Haven't seen it.
Tales from the Darkside - Not that great.
Stephen King's The Stand - Maybe if I hadn't read the book...
Alias - Haven't seen it yet.
And the Band Played On - Didn't love it.
Millenium - Seems like I watched an episode, but I'm not sure.
The Price is Right - I've loved it since I was a kid.

"Seinfeld" trumps "Twin Peaks." Chuck

Seinfeld--abstain

Surely, you jest!

 

[ErikG]

No joke, the show just never appealed to me

 

[Jan H]

Chuck - due South Park, The Young Ones and Jeopardy. FWIW, I never understood Seinfeld's popularity either. Stupid people, stupid dialogue, stupid situations. IMO, of course.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

My last two picks:

Late Night with Conan O'Brien
News Radio

 

[Scott Weinberg]

And Chuck gets my vote here. Both have great lists, but DeLa stole my Jeopardy! which I REALLY wanted - so he gets the vote.

 

[Ric Bagoly]

Justin easily as Seinfeld scores a on The Overrated Meter...

 

[JenB]

ChuckDeLa -Extremely close one

 

[ChuckDeLa]

Looks like I win! Next matchup:

george kaplan
The Dick Van Dyke Show
I Love Lucy
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Columbo
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Andy Griffith Show
Wiseguy
Monk
Hill Street Blues
The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin

vs.

Angelo.M
The Joe Franklin Show
Romper Room
The Benny Hill Show
Sessions at West 54th
Schoolhouse Rock
Kung Fu
Starsky & Hutch
The Electric Company
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids
Battle of the Planets

 

[ChuckDeLa]

George is really heavy on sitcoms, none of which I like very much (Lucy's okay). He redeems himself somewhat with ST:TNG and HSB.

Angelo's got Benny Hill which I absolutely despise, but everything else is fair to excellent. I like the eclecticism shown here, though perhaps too many children's shows. Still, those shows are childhood favorites of mine. And Sessions is great.

Angelo

 

[Jan H]

George - love about half of his picks (Lucy, ST:NG, WKRP, Hill Stree Blues, Wiseguy). Angelo's is too heavy on the kiddie shows (though they're good), and Benny Hill is truly wretched.

 

[JenB]

George kaplan

 

[Angelo.M]

Well, a vote for me, I guess.

The anti-Benny Hill lobby has spoken! It was goofy fun, nothing more.

 

[george kaplan]

Well I like a couple of Angelo's, but like everything on the other list , so

George has this one wrapped up, so I'm giving a Friendly Vote to Angelo for choosing so many childhood favorites.
