But I have a feeling you were really just making fun of me for liking Sesame Street. To which I reply, "You sir, declare your own vulgarity!" Twins should always be taken down, Tyra Banks because that could be hot, Jamie Lynn Spears for her bad genes, and then everyone else, because who cares.

But I have a feeling you were really just making fun of me for liking Sesame Street. To which I reply, “You sir, declare your own vulgarity!”

Thou speakest blasphemy! (I kid, I kid.) I've only seen "Boston Legal" once by accident and "House" never. But "CSI" instead of "Law and Order"? Mensa: For shame! :^) Only five?

Maybe not good to the 10th power. But good. Give em five slots. Oh yeah, and the Simpsons are good too.

I've never seen it, but I'll agree too for congeniality's sake. But House? House is goddamn brilliant. Part of it is the script, certainly. A large part of it is simply that Hugh Laurie is a genius, and he rocks that role. I think Claude was saying that he can’t get behind Boston Legal, Davey, so you two are agreeing.

Are you sure? Man, I just never understood that show. Hmmmm. The only show I ever liked that had the word Boston in it was Boston Public. Claude, BOSTON LEGAL???? Are you sure?

I can get behind some of the choices on the list, but "Boston Legal"? "House"? Really? And "Cosmos" was a miniseries. How does that count? I agree with you that “The Simpsons” was shortchanged.

Come on, The Simpsons are even shown in more than 10 countries. Specific numbers I'm not so sure of. I do have to admit that they've changed since the beginning. But they're still the greatest cartoon ever made. They're even nominated in two categories over at Nick's Kids' Choice Awards - Airing on MARCH 29 @ 8PM. They're nominated for FAVORITE CARTOON and FAVORITE ANIMATED MOVIE. They'll be up against Avatar, Ed Edd and Eddy, Spongebob, Avatar, Shrek, Bee movie, and Ratatouille . They'll win in my opinion. If they don't, I don't know where kids' are going these days. Plus, Jack Black is going to host the event so you know it will become an all out fun awards show. Just like the last time he hosted the Kids' Choice Awards. It got pretty crazy, especially for a kids award show. It's just funny to look at all of the celebrities' faces when he hosts. Hahaha. I'm working with Nick to get the word out. So make sure you come on by to http://www.nick.com/kca for more details. You can even get FREE downloads, and you can check out the other categories and their nominees. Are you going to watch? Who do you want to see get slimed?

I doubt I'll live to see that day, however. It will probably be made for 30 years and syndicated for another 300. I mean, as long as, you know, there are intelligent people around... Oh shit:) I promised this week to never ever ever ever watch television again when “The Simpsons” is off forever. I doubt I’ll live to see that day, however.

I agree, the Simpsons should be on that there derned list. And what about the X Files? Don't get me started about the absence of Buffy. "The Hellmouth"? That was truly "deep" and quietly subversive. don’t give ‘em any more of yer money. those Mensanites are nothing but trouble.

However, I might add "Family Guy" somewhere in there. It's amazing that after, what, 18 years or something, that The Simpsons' writing is still so sharp. Oh yeah. I agree with your 1-10 choices.
