The top old school TV shows are mostly comedies. I think this is because they hold up much better over time and you can watch them over and over again. I tell you that the quality of comedic programming is lacking versus even 10 years ago, less 30 years ago. The top comedies of all times have been defined over and over on 100’s of lists and magazines.
I wanted to create a list of the top old school tv, but based on how well the shows are able to hold up today. Though there were shows like ‘Chico and the Man’, which was brilliant in the 70’s, it does not hold up in the 2000’s. Though Different Strokes and Alice were cutting edge shows, they don’t hold the comedic value today as they did years ago.
I have created a list of the top 10 television programs of all time, based on how great they are in 2005. This list is mostly comedies, but there are a few that are more family oriented television…

Note – there are a few shows, such as The Simpson’s, Cops, and ER, that might make this list one day. I have excluded any shows that are still airing in regular tv. I have also excluded cable programs, such as OZ and The Sopranos as this is another list one day.
