Top 5 TV shows

In the vein of Matt‘s recent lists, here’s one of my own: what are your favourite TV shows of the past?

I don’t imagine there are many shockers on this list, at least for people who know me:

  1. Babylon 5
  2. West Wing (the Sorkin seasons)
  3. SportsNight
  4. Max Headroom
  5. Slings and Arrows

Hey, what the heck… how about a bonus two-part trivia question, based loosely on a discussion with Matt today, and to welcome James to the ’verse:

  1. What television show featured the adventures of Ralph Hinkley?
  2. To what was the character’s name changed midway through the series? (Bonus bonus: Why?)

  1. My list of All-Time Favourite Shows (wherein I exclude any show still in production) would be:

    1) Babylon5
    2) St. Elsewhere
    3) Dick Van Dyke Show
    4) Mary Tyler Moore Show (I have a thing for MTM, can you tell?)
    5) Original Twilight Zone

  2. I vaguely remember watching MTMS at the time; from what I’ve seen and heard of it since, I think it’s the sort of show I’d appreciate and enjoy today. (Unlike Lou Grant, I’m somewhat partial to spunk. :)) Haven’t seen enough of TZ to categorize the whole series as a favourite, but certain episodes are must-watches any time I get a chance.
