I've been watching some of the old TV shows on TVLand lately and started thinking about the shows I liked the best. So I decided to develop a Top 10 list of my favorites. Not necessarily the best as they would be rated by critics...just my favorites. Here they are in no particular order:
1. The Golden Girls (1985-1992)Dorothy: Why can't you sleep on the couch and give Clayton and Doug your room?
Blanche: Are you crazy, what will the neighbors think if they see two men in my bedroom?
Sophia: They'll think it's Tuesday. 2. The Andy Griffith Show (1960-1968)Barney Fife: What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a man take off a dress before?
3. The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-1966) Rob: [
Sally, Buddy, Rob and Laura are staying in a haunted cabin, all four are in the same bed because they are scared of the ghost] It's been over two hours and nothing strange or unusual has happened.
Sally: Oh, really? What do you call four grown people sleeping in the same bed with their clothes on?
4. The Bob Newhart Show (1972-1978)A popular drinking game was invented by college students during the run of the show. Whenever someone on the show says, "Bob," each player had to take a drink. If someone said "Hi, Bob," you had to guzzle your drink.
5. Law and Order (the original) (1990-present)Det. Lennie Briscoe: Even though you are a taxpayer, you know, we don't actually work for you personally.
6. Law and Order SVU (1999-present)Det. Munch: Will you ever have dinner with me?
M.E. Rodgers: Not while I can still feed myself.
7. Criminal Minds (2005-present)Jason Gideon: All is a riddle and the key to a riddle....is another riddle.
8. House (2004-present)
Stacy Warner: God, you are such an idiot.
House: Actually, I thought I was more of a jerk.
9. CSI (2000-present)Dr. Robbins: Hand me that foot, would you?
10. The Cosby Show (1984-1992)Vanessa: Dad, Denise pushed us out of the bathroom, so the soap's in Rudy's eyes and she wouldn't let me rinse out the shampoo like Mom said and now Rudy might be blinded for life! If she is, can we get a dog?
OK, I can't limit it to 10...how about the top 15?
11. All In the Family (1971-1979)Archie Bunker: I know all about your woman's troubles there, Edith, but when I had the hernia that time, I didn't make you wear the truss. If you're gonna have the change of life, you gotta do it right now. I'm gonna give you just 30 seconds. Now c'mon and change.
Edith Bunker: Can I finish my soup first?
12. Designing Women (1986-1993)Julia: Suzanne, if sex were fast food, there'd be an arch over your bed!
13. Cagney and Lacey (1982-1996)Cagney: She's got a black belt in mouth karate and she's arrogant as hell.
14. Seinfeld (1990-1998)George: I've driven women to lesbianism before but never to a mental institution.
15. Frasier (1993-2004)Niles: Frasier, do you remember the time the Kreizel brothers tied me to their Great Dane and lobbed meatballs down their gravel driveway?
Frasier: I told you Niles, I would have helped you, but their sister was holding me down.
