I'm surprised The Twilight Zone didn't make the list myself. I'm glad, though, that Gunsmoke didn't---the original radio show was ten times as good as its television offspring and probably one of the three most intelligently-written and intelligently-acted Westerns of either medium.

The others? Frontier Gentleman, and a dead heat between Fort Laramie---absolutely no relation to the eventual television hit Laramie, and starring Raymond Burr pre-Perry Mason---and the too-short-lived but brilliant James Stewart vehicle, The Six Shooter.

Bonanza may have been entertaining but it doesn't belong in the aforesaid league. (Come to think of it, neither did The Lone Ranger.) As if much of anything really does.

No order:

Friends
Family Ties
Little House
Touched by an Angle
Step by Step
Major Dad
Alice
One Day at a Time
Waltons
Seinfeld

Whatever happened to wholesome good tv shows like the one’s above.....long are the days of great shows. I am sure that some of you will think these shows are not worthy of this list, but the list is about wholesome family values.....well ok Friends was not particularly wholesome but it was a good funny and innocent tv show.
