Rolling Stone Top 100 TV Shows

Girls is pretty bad, but Duck Dynasty would be hard pressed to be in the top 50 worst shows of all time. Supertrain, anyone? My Mother the Car? Cop Rock? There are some powerfully (un) worthy candidates for the dishonor.

 

Cop Rock. Whyyyyyyyyyy? I had forgotten about that abortion until you mentioned it.

 

Don't forget Cop Rock's casino-centric cousin, Viva Laughlin.

 

Man Men is a much richer show than Beeaking Bad. Comparing it to Seinfeld is complicated because they are different genres, but it's a better show than BB easily. (And I liked BB.)

 

Girls is an interesting show with four very unlikble characters. To say it's one of worst show ever is silly. It's still hard to tell if Duhnam is Trojan Horsing us all. If she's actually as narcissistic and tone deaf as her character or if the show is a sneaky indictment of millennials and their whole spoiled existence (I think it's the former, but I occasionally waver) but it's a well made show that takes risks and purposefully tries to make viewers uncomfortable. Those are worthy goals in art.

 

Maybe it's some sort of innate sexism I haven't come to terms with, but the male characters on Girls are almost all likable and funny. I'm thinking mostly of Ray and wonderful, wonderful Elijah, and not at all of Desi.

 

Some of these recent vintage comedies make it, but Sunny in Philadelphia didnt?

 

Manimal

 

Matt Houston is an obvious omission.

 

How is 'Bosom Buddies' not in the top 100?
What about 'Police Squad?
What about 'SCTV' and 'The Kids in the Hall'?

 

On the worst ever front, we should ignore Fox. Herman's Head, anyone?

 

It's interesting you say that. I haven't heard many people give Mad Men THAT high of praise. Usually Breaking Bad and The Wire are competing for 1a and 1b when I read a critic's thoughts on stuff like that. Myself, I watched the first season of Mad Men and then just gave up. It felt so boring to me. I may be in the minority on that one.
