Top 5 shows...EVER:
5. Seinfeld: No explanation needed; the definitive slice of pop culture.
4. South Park: A show that just won't die, yet unlike so many other long-running sitcoms and/or animated series, it still manages to find cutting-edge, controversial ways to shock and tickle their demograph. What other show would have the guts to make Mel Gibson a crossdressing, truck-driving, bouncy lunatic?
3. Twin Peaks: Ahead of its time, dark as hell, and brilliantly rendered, this creation of David Lynch's stirred up in its first season and fizzled out by the second, but took a murder mystery that could have been a 300-page subway book collecting dust at your local library and emerged as a surreal descent into a macabre Bizarro World.
2. Family Guy: Freakin' sweet! Enough said. A show with few unmemorable moments and a chockful of the politically incorrect in a time screaming for such "wrongitude".
1. 24: A concept that could have killed a series after two, even one, season, 24 exploded onto Fox in 2001 with a real-time concept, premises involving terrorism that would put ANY espionage writer to shame, and Kiefer Sutherland, ever so sweet, obliterating them evil terrorists! IMO the Star Trek of action series.
