Unfortunately, I did not see MPI on the list!

American Idol. American Idol is actually a good TV show?! They must have accidentally typed best TV shows instead of worst. I wonder what would happen if we all sent emails complaining that MPI isn't in the list?
Out of my way before I run you down and enjoy it! - Thomas Magnum, Tropical Madness, season 2.
I'd say a show like The Andy Griffith Show was far more influential than things like Wiseguy or the 1983 tv movie, The Day After. Andy Griffith essentially paved the way for the type of character-driven humor that was later employed by shows like Seinfeld. (Not to mention, I don't believe it has ever been off the air since its debut.)
And if not Magnum, then Rockford should certainly be there to represent the modern detective show. It was certainly far more significant than Felicity, Freaks and Geeks, or Deadwood.
This reads like it was compiled by someone in their 20's, who is really only familiar with television of the past decade or so. Anything beyond that just seems to be lip service for classic shows they have googled.
