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 love the Dick Van Dyke Show, and the cast was great (Carl Reiner's character is one of the funniest ever created). But the show, like Madonna in Like a Virgin, is fixated on Dick.
My vote goes to Sha Na Na. Totally underappreciated camp. They were like The Village People of the doo wop set. Nothing better to watch on a Saturday afternoon before Hee Haw.
