If You Could Only Watch 5 TV Shows For The Rest Of Your Life, What Would They Be?

Tim Cuprisin, TV Critic for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, picked these five:

• Andy Griffith
• Dick Van Dyke
• Seinfeld
• Bob Newhart
• The Simpsons

Not a bad list, eh? Here are my five:

• ALF
• The Twilight Zone
• Alfred Hitchcock Presents
• Police Squad! (in color)
• The Simpsons

My wife Nancy lists these:

• Monk
• Matlock
• Gilmore Girls
• Leave It to Beaver
• Law And Order

Our son Ryan would list these:

• The A-Team
• Full House
• The Cosby Show
• The Simpsons
• MacGyver

How about you? What would be your 5 shows?

If you want to buy a car, you will have to get the personal loans. Furthermore, my father always uses a car loan, which supposes to be the most fast.

People in all countries receive the personal loans from different banks, just because that is simple.

2) Mission Impossible
3) Hawaii 5-0

The Simpsons
The Andy Griffith Show
'70s-era Saturday Night Live
Frank's Place
Tonight Show/Johnny Carson (not only does his wit absolutely hold up, but his monologue and the show itself is a priceless time capsule.)

Last year Lost would have been on the list, but they are dragging the plot on too long to hold my interest... Nobody likes Dexter????

[Noumenon]

Looney Toons (if you only get five shows, you want something that is not memorable enough to get boring)

The Simpsons (ditto)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (this has enough layers to be good anyway)

Baywatch (weren't you people thinking? This will last you longer in reruns than any other show.)

Teletubbies (for after watching every single rerun of all the other shows has reduced you to drooling mush).
