The whole list is interesting. I don't agree with many of the picks, but it's all pretty much subjective at least in my opinion.

over Dexter, Deadwood or Boardwalk Empire.

Love Letterman, but even Dave would expect Johnny's Tonight Show on the list too.


Some shows influenced entire generations of young adults: Soupy Sales, Peewee's Playhouse, Leave it to Beaver, and...according to my niece...Saved by the Bell. (Hi Bennett!) It's not just The Toddler shows that deserve recognition.

Fun list, lots of memories/ favorites. thanks for the post.
