Other than All in the Family and Mash... and early Cheers, the list sucks. Period.
Sticking to broadcast and not cable (Sopranos), where is:
Hill Street Blues?
The Carrol Burnett show? (Since we did include Saturday Night Live)
ER?
The Bob Newhart Show?
Gunsmoke?
Star Trek for pete’s sake?
WKRP in Cincinnati (As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!) The best TV line of all time.

Even Quantum Leap beats Buffy.

Truly one of the great lines! But let's not forget,

The Original Star Trek was a groundbreaker in so many ways. Each of the stories was written with several levls of interpretaion, “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield”, “A Piece of the Action”, “The Changeling”, etc., being prime examples.

And a close second was Les Nessman staring at the sky, "Oh the humanity of it all"

I agree on Carol Burnett. Unlike SNL, it never sucked for years at a time.

Frasier and Seinfeld belong on the list.

MTM for sure.

24 is a winner in my book.

Firefly was outstanding.

Star Trek was one of the greats.

Almost anything on HBO beats half of that list.
