You can't really compare The Simpsons with Breaking Bad because they're so wildly different in tone and structure. Like Jeopardy is on the list despite being a game show, and not a comedy/drama. Along with a few other talk shows. Do they really count? Sure, they have cultural impact. But I don't think most people would consider Jeopardy to be among the greatest shows ever if you asked them. Why not add Wheel of Fortune or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? >_> I mean I dislike ranking things in general, but especially something as broad as TV, so I largely agree. I still see what they are going for. Like Jeopardy is a piece of our TV landscape that is impossible to ignore so I can understand it being listed even if it in no way competes with something like Mad Men or 30 Rock. And I guarantee there are quite a few people who will tell you that Jeopardy is their favorite TV show if you ask. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:968310694] in Rolling St...
