I'm surprised so many new shows are heavy vote getters.

I am. Seems like the older shows, that are universally heralded, are taking a beating in most heats.
Kinda makes you wonder about the forum's demographics.

My thoughts:
#1 - Soap - One of the best shows ever. Bert's kidnapping by the aliens, Chester's prison escape, Chuck and Bob, I could go on and on. #2 - The Partridge Family - Reasonably funny show, and occasionally they would pop out a classic line. I liked it, so sue me. #3 - What's Happening? - Okay, it's not a classic, but I'll throw it a bone. It was pretty well-produced and well cast, and I could identify with the skinny geeky guy who was the lead character. Didn't make the cut. #4 - How I Met Your Mother - I saw it a few times and thought the Barney fellow was pretty funny, but the wimpy guy really bugged me. He could be the half-man on Two and a Half Men. So-so show. #5 - Red Dwarf - I've never seen the show and can't vote for it, but I really suspect that I'd like it a lot. Anything with a mutant cat-human has to be funny.

It's because Benson was cast as a servant, isn't it?

Have you ever seen it? It's an easy show to write off because it was filmed in that bad '80s video format, and Susan Harris shows always tend to have a cheap-looking quality to them, but it was fantastic in a completely bizarre sort of way. It was full of outlandish characters and plots, and very well written. In its first run I wouldn't watch it because I thought it would be terrible, and then I discovered it in reruns and devoured it.

Just not sure it's one of the very best sitcoms of all-time. 75 best? To be sure. 50 best? Probably. 25 best? Eh... 10 best? No way. It had such a short run.

We shall see. (3.2 second pause for dramatic effect, then a slow nod.) We shall see.

SOAP is the only option in this one. Should make at least the Elite Eight.

This show was so far ahead of it's time and ground breaking. The most amazing thing is to look at the cast list over the history of the series and this show may have launched more careers than any other I know I watched every single episode and my friends at the time couldn't understand why....
