A Couple Of
All-Time Best TV Lists,
Just In Time For Emmy Season!!

I am – Hercules!!


1) UGO.com has come out with its 50 best TV shows of all time.

There are picks I believe a lot of us can get behind. “The Wire” at #2. “Galactica” at #3. “Freaks And Geeks” at #7. But once we get into the double digits, the ranking may strike many as ... more controversial.

The UGO list ranks:
* “Saved By The Bell” (#29) higher than “Seinfeld” (#41),
* “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” (#19) higher than “The Colbert Report” (#36),
* “The Brady Bunch (#20) higher than “Newsradio” (#22),
* “Family Guy” (#17) higher than “Mr. Show” (#42),
* “The Price Is Right” (#10) higher than “Chappelle’s Show” (#27), and
* “Transformers” (#28) higher than “The Shield” (#33).

Shows that did NOT make UGO’s all-time top 50 include “The Larry Sanders Show,” “The Prisoner,” “Moonlighting,” “The West Wing,” "Deadwood," "Rome," “Fawlty Towers” and “Monty Python’s Flying Circus.” Find all of UGO’s list here.

2) ign.com, meanwhile, has the top 10 movie-to-TV transitions. Fans of “Friday Night Lights” will be excited to learn that the West Texas adventures of Lyla, Tyra, Matt, Tim, Street and, of course, wheelchair-bound Herc rank third. Find all of that list here.
