Notable omissions for me are Monk, Psych, Gilmore Girls, Fresh Prince, Sports Night, NewsRadio, 3rd Rock, Malcolm, KOTH and Friday Night Lights.. but hey, I think it's an overall good list, with most of the key boxes checked.
congrats on getting your quote in the magazine, thats awesome, nicely done. a great quote too, really well put.
as for the list, frasier is a little low for my liking. However Sopranos at 2 is awesome.
is it based on the show or the DVD (as in extras and stuff) ?
Thanks!
They made it quite clear it was based on the show alone, not the DVD quality. Yeah, Frasier is a little low, I was hoping top 10, but you can't have everything I guess..
