Crazy Ex-Girlfriend??  
Greg from LI : 11/29/2022 10:39 am : link
What the fuck is that? And no Magnum PI or Barney Miller???

I would have put Sanford #1 over The Jeffersons, but the Jeffersons isn't a bad choice.
Can't Disagree with #1  
Koffman : 11/29/2022 10:41 am : link
But some shows on the list I've never heard of, while other popular theme songs were rated way too low.
The Odd Couple @ #60 should be higher  
Producer : 11/29/2022 10:41 am : link
"Can two divorced men share an apartment without driving each other crazy?”
Wonder Years at 64 is a joke.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 11/29/2022 10:44 am : link
That should be much higher.
welcome back, Kotter should be higher

the two that come to mind for me are Moving' On Up and Who Are You?, the Whosong, from CSI
Hill St. radio version  
bluefin : 11/29/2022 10:47 am : link
with the beautiful Larry Carlton guitar work
SWAT  
Professor Falken : 11/29/2022 10:49 am : link
is way too low. Should be much higher.
Didn't look yet,  
smshmth8690 : 11/29/2022 10:51 am : link
but the Munsters has to be in the top 10.
#1 should be the Greatest American Hero  
pjcas18 : 11/29/2022 10:52 am : link
but the costanza answering machine version.
And no A-Team  
pjcas18 : 11/29/2022 10:56 am : link
unless I missed it and if i didn't this list has 0 credibility. Not top 100? It should be top 20.

Beverly Hillbillies is by far my favorite.
No

Someone's little sister got a job at Rolling Stone.
Well, now I looked at the list.  
johnnyb : 11/29/2022 11:33 am : link
How can Beverly Hillbillies NOT be on the list?? Great theme song- I bet most older folks on this board can recite the lyrics.

And another ommission I thought strange was Magilla Gorilla- "how much is that gorilla in the window?"
Shit of a list.  
Beezer : 11/29/2022 11:38 am : link
Odd Couple at 60.
Rawhide should be in there, too  
Marty in Albany : 11/29/2022 11:42 am : link

The Greatest American Hero and Cheers  
John in Loudoun : 11/29/2022 11:44 am : link
should both be top 5.
WTF is Too Many Cooks.  
Beezer : 11/29/2022 11:45 am : link
At 10 out of 100??? It's like it's a bad parody. (Is it??)

Living Single at 47
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt at 26
Succession at 25
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend at 4?

Joe DiMaggio might make there all-time baseball list because of Marilyn and a coffee maker their grandma had.


Glaring omission $0.02  
Racer : 11/29/2022 11:46 am : link
'Justified', 'Hard Times to Come' by Gangstagrass

If you don't want to boot up your flight sim and shoot down Zeroes in your F4U after you see 'Devotion', flip on the 'Black Sheep Squadron' title track. Complete with air raid horn.

Michael Kamen's for 'Band of Brothers' and 'From the Earth to the Moon' if miniseries are in play. End credits for the latter are also a personal favorite which they used during the Apollo 8 earthrise scene.
"Angela", the Taxi theme, needed to be higher too  
Greg from LI : 11/29/2022 11:52 am : link
I still can't stop snickering at some nothing of a show called "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" that virtually no one has ever seen (or knew existed) landing at #4.

I had no idea also what too man cooks is. And after watching that intro in no way shape or form should that even be close to 10.
The Odd Couple theme should at least be top 10.  
NYRiese : 11/29/2022 11:57 am : link

Taxi at 63 is a travesty...

Justified theme is excellent...great primer for a great show
How is Roseanne not on the list?  
j_rud : 11/29/2022 12:10 pm : link
A list by a rock and roll magazine no less? Or are we not allowed to even acknowledge that show ever existed?
How about  
Piranah In NC : 11/29/2022 12:11 pm : link
The British Tv show: The Avengers
Batman
Star Trek
No A-Team!

I'm glad they included  
Enzo : 11/29/2022 12:25 pm : link
Chips, but as others have said, where's the A-Team? Or Knight Rider? The Fall Guy? Magnum PI? Hunter? Or Family Ties, Growing Pains, Facts of Life?
This is a really bad list ...  
Spider56 : 11/29/2022 12:27 pm : link
“Combat” not in the top 100 ... Hawaii 5-0 should be number 1.
Rolling Stones  
Spiciest Memelord : 11/29/2022 12:36 pm : link
used to be relevant and good decades ago. Now I'm pretty sure its written by crappy AI.
Married with Children

Lot of corny classics missing  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 11/29/2022 12:47 pm : link
such as Baretta, CHIPS, Barney Miller, Baa Baa Blacksheep, etc.

I do think these lists are dumb, however; it is funny to see you old farts get riled up over something so dumb lol

What # was The Sopranos?

CHIPS is #96. But your point still holds.
Did Barney Miller make the list?

HomerJones45 : 11/29/2022 1:12 pm : link
Maverick?
Lone Ranger?
Mr. Lucky?

Thanks to those who mentioned Rawhide, Beverly Hillbillies and some of the other glaring omissions


With Out looking at The List
