Best TV show ever? I'm gonna say "Lou Grant"
Excellent ensemble, exciting, realistic, thought provoking.... and they did it all without using guns, bikinis, explosions, or car chases.

1. Charlies Angels because of the guns, bikinis, explosions and car chases
Especially the women's prison episode

3. Pfff, they ran through the Deep South swamp country and not even one wet t-shirt?
Sorry, but that's just not very realistic. Aaron Spelling really let me down with that one episode.

By the way, playing a mob gunman on Charlie's Angels was Sonny Bono's last acting gig before he died and went to Congress.

2. Linda Kelsy in a bikini would've caused my gun to explode.

4. If by "my gun to explode" you mean "my penis to ejaculate in my pants" I get your innuendo

11. "Two Cathedrals" episode of "The West Wing"
Edited on Mon Dec-21-09 12:43 PM by Jeff In Milwaukee
The rest of the series was pretty good,as well. But that particular episode is why they invented the cathode ray tube.

12. Six Feet Under
Perfect cast. Best series finale EVER (although the clever ending to Newhart runs a close second, and I did not care for that show).
