The EW List continues 50-26

50. Baywatch: It brought us the slow-mo run on the beach, Pamela Anderson and more importantly David Hasselhoff. Admit it you have pretended to be a Baywatch Life guard.

49. Twin Peaks: Oh David Lynch. You are the master of confusion and the weirdness. It also leads to one of our favorite sayings: "I'm have a twin peaks experience". This is obviously only for the 1st season, we're assuming.

48. Ally McBeal: Yes it had the dancing baby, but it also had, Lucy Liu, Portia De Rossi and Calista Flockhart. And a same sex bathroom, which in our opinion is creepy. It also lead the way for women wearing short skirts in the workplace. Why is this not on DVD yet, btw?!


47. 30 Rock: Need proof that this show is genius? Just watch this clip:



46. Homicide Life on the Street: Way better than NYPD Blue, but with half the audience.


45. Curb Your Enthusiasm: Larry David created Seinfeld and took his unique style of comedy, comedy about nothing into this HBO classic. You know that you shouldn't be laughing at say holocaust survivors, but damn it He just makes it so funny.

44. Jeopardy!: What is: do do do do do do do do do do do do dododododo do do do do do do do do du du do boom boom. (Sidenote from E I have a friend whose goal is to get on Jeopardy and if he does not know the answer to final Jeopardy he is going to put my name. So I've got that going for me)

43. Late Night With Conan O'Brien: We cannot wait for him to take over the Tonight Show. And he kept us laughing during the writer's strike. And his opening at the Emmy's was the best ever.



42. LA Law: My mom loved this show. Oooo Did we just date ourselves? Plus, someone fell down a frakkin elevator shaft!


41. Frasier: Although we would have rather seen a spinoff with Norm and Cliff, Frasier was still pretty funny. What was even better when he and David Hyde Pierce, Niles on the show, go on the Simpsons as Side Show Bob and his brother. Yes we know different show.

40. Mr. Show: One of the best sketch comedy shows on TV. Ever. Oh and you can thank them for brining us Tenacious D and therefore Jack Black. If you are not a Jack Black fan, then here are the men you can blame.

39. Six Feet Under: Yes it is about death and funerals, but it is also about family a fucked up one at that. Probably the best openings of any show on TV, and then of course there was the twist of all twists, they killed Nate (Narm! Narm!). Also gave us our introduction to Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Rainn Wilson (The Office). J has friends who watched that series finale montage incessantly, while bawling their eyes out.

38. Beavis and Butt-Head: We said butt, Heh he he heh heh


37. NYPD Blue: Sipowicz's ass. Urgh we just threw up a little.

36. Thirtysomething: The original Brothers & Sisters. That's sayin a lot. Well that is also saying that yuppies from every generation have problems. Shocker.


35. CSI: We never looked at crime scenes the same thing and get bummed when we have jury duty and the forensics and their scientists aren't as cool as Grissom and clan.

34. 24: Jack Bauer never really has a good day. Thank god he can run around LA with a gun and scream I am a CTU Agent. Always amazes us that he can get around LA so quickly when we try to drive oh say from the Valley to Hollywood it takes us an hour. Not Jack Bauer though.

33. My So- Called Life: Only on for one season yet it is still the best teen angst drama ever. Claire Danes seethed with teenage angst, and Jordan Catalano oh I mean Jared Leto was the dyslexic heartthrob every girl wanted to save. Fun trivia time: does anyone recognize Angela's sister as the brunette vixen on Greek? Mmmhmm. This is one entry on EW's list that should have been MUCH much higher.


32. Gilmore Girls: Oh how we miss the fast paced pop cultured ridden dialogue from Lorelei and Rory. Who didn't want to live in that household?

31. The Civil War: Sorry it was on PBS and about history, we kinda missed it.

30. Late Show with David Letterman: When it comes down to it Dave is always better than Jay. Hence why he is higher on the list. We love when he interviews celebrities he could care less about, Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt just to name two.

29. The Shield: Great show, we just don't watch it.

28. The Larry Sanders Show: Don't judge us. Again, never seen an episode. I guess we need to go on hulu.com

27. Law and Order: Dun Dun. It is the noise that spun off well numerous spin offs. You can basically turn on a TV at any time of the day and somewhere Law & Order will be on. Dick Wolf is one rich bitch. This entry is oddly low on the rating todem pole as well.


26. Chapelle's Show: Speaking of rich bitches. He made Rick James famous again (I'm Rick James Bitch!), made Wayne Brady gansta (Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?) and had a blind black man the head of the KKK. Then he had a breakdown and left the show. Whenever you want to come back Dave we are ready for you.
