The best shows ever on TV:

Cheers
Simply the funniest sitcom of all time; and, yes, as a series it was better than Seinfeld.

Family Ties
This is the greatest half-hour family show of all time, although The Cosby Show and Growing Pains were good, too.

The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau
This show was an introduction to science for thousands of people worldwide, was fascinating and never resorted to being heavy-handed with its message of conservation.

Politically Incorrect
I'm going to qualify this by saying that P.I. was far better on Comedy Central than it was on ABC. I think Maher sold out, went corporate and as a result, his show jumped the shark. While on Comedy Central, the show was witty and sharp because Maher has the balls to say things no one else will. By taking the money that ABC offered him, Maher's monologue got longer, the topics less touchy and the humour watered-down.

M*A*S*H
The only thing I didn't like about this show was that it got saddled by the 70s laugh track.
