I tihnk my list would include in no particular order: Hogans Heroes, Beverly Hillbillies, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Seinfeld, Frazier, The Outer Limits, Perry Mason, I Love Lucy, Married with Children. That is 10. I am sure if I tried to rank them and spent some time with this I would bump a few out and add a few.
I never watched Gunsmoke much and maybe I would bump Gunsmoke or Bonaza for Little House or the Waltons none of which I watched. But if your list is going to be more than just you personal favorites, you have to think about it and not just what you watched.
You make a good point when it comes to the distinction between personal favorites and “greatest”. I love Babylon 5 and would put in my personal Top 10, but I don’t pretend that it’s one of the Top 10 series of all time.
Why anyone would put that stupid Frazier on a list is beyond me.....Having a drunk star say dribble all day long is not funny. I guess it is that I can’t stand Casey Grammer or whatever his name is.....lol.
