Set the bar for family comedies, whacky neighbors, multiple sets, etc. Took "I Love Lucy" and made it useful to all that was to follow. I'm still trying to recreate that living room, and I'm still willing to bang MTM.

I have to vote for Barney Miller. Every character on that show was an absolute gem, and each actor played him or her perfectly. The scripts were masterpieces of comedic timing and wit. There is not a single bad episode.
