Many of the shows here would convert me to full-time couch potato. Not sure about Sienfield, but to each his own. I gotta say that another ground-breaking cop drama that should be included on this list would be "Homicide: Life on the Street."

No M*A*S*H? That series dominated in a way that Seinfeld never did. C'mon, you know you darn near bawled at this (from memory, so excuse me if I get it a bit wrong):
Hawkeye: Radar! Put a mask on!
Radar: I have a message... Lieutenant Colonel... Henry Blake's plane... was shot down over the Sea of Japan... it spiralled in... there were no survivors.

I just have to add Boy meets world... something that is missing in the tv lineup all together now and I really miss it. Something I would love to see... anywhere..

_The Cosby Show_? _All In the Family_? -gag- And those are shows I'm familiar with.
Sorry, I'll fight for X@@##! van X@@##! and Andy Griffith (with Don Knotts) to my last drop of blood.
Not too enthused about _Cheers_ and _the Wonder Years_ and _Seinfeld_ but at least I don't know enough about those shows to actively dislike them. But I'd still prefer _Alf_,_Good Times-, or _PErfect Strangers_.
The only things that could bug me worse than those choices (okay, out of shows considered quality, I'm not suggesting _Struck by Lightning_ or _the LAst resort_ over *anything*) would be Mary tYler Moore and Rhoda.

My lineup would include two shows that are old enough that I have never seen them, General Electric Theater and Playhouse 90. These were dramatic anthologies, a format which doesn't even exist any more, which featured excellent writing, often based on the best literature, and superb acting.
Comedies must include D_i_c_k Van D_y_k_e and the George Burns and Gracie Allen Program. The latter is another which was well before my time but is out on DVD. My wife brought the DVDs home from the library once. They were the funniest things we had ever seen. I was, literally, almost falling out of my chair I laughed so hard. And it wasn't the least bit vulgar and jokes and stories were about something other than sex.
Variety shows were another wonderful format that doesn't exist any more. The Ed Sullivan Show, Carol Burnett and Donny and Marie would be in my lineup.
Detective Shows; Magnum P.I. and Nero Wolfe were both literate and interesting.
Westerns need to include more than just SF shows; Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, Bat Masterson and Wagon Train all had good exciting adult drama.
SF; The original Star Trek beats Next Gen any day and B5 was better still. The first season of ST especially gave a wonderful impression of being out on the frontier facing the truly unknown. It also did extremely well at creating truly *alien* aliens rather than just people with funny foreheads.
Action/Adventure; since you allow animation, the best prime time adventure show ever, Johnny Quest.
