EW list 1-25

Drumroll please......


25. Miami Vice: Corckett and Tubbs made it cool for guys to have 5 o'clock shadow and wear pastel suits.

24. Star Trek: The Next Generation: To all of the Trekkies out there, sorry we have not seen this show so please feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.

23. The West Wing: Why can't Martin Sheen really be president?

22. The Real World: Of course it is on this list it is also on what?...season 87? For real though, when this show first came out it was groundbreaking, it was really the first reality television show. From Julie and Kevin's race debate to Pedro's battle with AIDS. And of course for every amazing season (San Diego, Miami, Las Vegas), there are bad ones (Philadelphia, London).


21. Roseanne: Who didn't want to be in the Connor household for those Halloween episodes? And you know that Sarah Chalke is still called second Becky.

20. Beverly Hills 90210: The best zip code ever. Before you get all star struck with the glossy new 90210, go back and get to know the original. Fall in love with all of the sideburns, embrace Brenda's subtle bitchniess and Kelly's full out bitchiness. I mean hello, Kelly over dosed on caffeine pills, was a child model, was raped, had a coke problem, got shot, had amnesia, joined a cult, got burnt in a fire and made out with Brandon! And that was just one character! Donna Martin Graduates!!

19. ER: I have a very dear friend who has a choreographed dance to the theme of ER. It is amazing. ER was must see tv, and not just for George Clooney alone. It is still a great show that has a way of shocking us each week. And we still get teary eyed when we think about Mark Greene dying or Carol and Doug finally getting together.

18. American Idol: They should have stopped after the first season. Just sayin'. (E)

17. The Office the U.K. version: Ricky Gervais. Enough said. This might be a LITTLE high on the list, however.


16. Arrested Development: Do yourselves a favor go to target and shell out thirty bucks for all three seasons of this hysterical show, or is you are cheap go to hulu.com and watch them for free. Tell them Tobias Funke the analrapist sent you.

15. The Oprah Winfrey Show: She is the Queen of all Media. Oprah is God.

14. The Daily Show: Want to know why the stoner college dude is talking politics with you? It is because of John Stewart. And that was your moment of Zen.

13. Freaks and Geeks: Maybe you have heard of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Siegel, Busy Phillips, Linda Cardenelli oh and Judd Apatow? Yea that was the cast of Freaks and Geeks. Now tell us why this show only lasted one season? J still hasn't seen an episode.


12. South Park: The most crass and funniest fourth graders around. Trapped in the closet is a classic episode. And any chow where you can get George Clooney to guest star as a gay dog is ok by us.

11. The Wire: It is in our netflix queue we swear! Is it REALLY this high, though??


10. Buffy The Vampire Slayer: We are beyond excited that our beloved Buffy made the top ten. Bussy kicked ass and gave quips left and right. She went through it all; the tragic love story with Angel, the 2nd season finale still makes us cry a,, her mom died and she is left to care for her sister who is a ball of green energy, and she even died. She saved the world a lot, and our world is a little sadder with Buffy not on.

9. Friends: Who knew that a show about 6 friends who hung out in a coffee shop and with each other would BE such a hit. And who didn't want the Rachel haircut?

8. LOST: We still don't quite understand what is going on, but we love it. No other show has made us scream at the TV, made us drop our jaws, or have hour long conversations after the show has aired to try to figure out what was going on. JJ Abrams= evil genius.

7. The Cosby Show: It is a classic American sitcom. The sweaters alone kill us.

6. Survivor: I don't think I have ever used the word alliance until this show aired. Oh and Elisabeth might be a cohost of the View, but she was first a contestant on this show.


5. Sex and the City: We're a Carrie for sure. I mean come on the shoes alone. It basically turned every women's brunch conversation from tame to super racy. And we love them for it.

4. The X Files: The truth is out there, somewhere we think. Mulder? Scully? Help here?

3. Seinfeld: It was the show about, well nothing, and brought us such comic jems as the puffy shirt, the soup nazi and of course Kramer. We are still trying to forgive them for the lame ending though.

2. The Sopranos: See mafia bosses are just like us, they have problems and whiny families and go to shrinks. And they listen to Journey. J never got into it.

1. The Simspons: It has been on for well, ever and does not look like it is going away anytime soon. We only wish that Springfield was real only so we could drink at Moe's visit the power plant, eat a Krusty burger, oh and get that amazing yellow tan.
