A few of my favourite shows are missing from their list. I would definitely bump some to make room for these:
- The Knick
- Mr. Robot
- Banshee
- Sherlock (does that count?)
- Homicide:Life on the Street
- Trailer Park Boys (not realistic but still)
- How could SCTV not be on that list?
- Kids In the Hall (maybe?)
The WKRP suggestion from above was a funny one - I forgot about that show. It has disappeared because the music rights are too expensive to release it (I think). Someone else suggested a Bourdain show and that seems right - it seemed to have a lot of impact on a lot of people and was quite revered. Carol Burnett was another suggestion but it would be tough for it to make the list. I never watched Miami Vice but I'm surprised it wasn't on the list. That was a huge show, hell, even the soundtrack was a big seller.
Surprised Veep was on there but Silicon Valley wasn't. Eastbound & Down and Beavis & Butthead were good selections though.
