As far as seminal and historically important television shows go, “The Cosby Show” was right up there. An all-black television family that ultimately became “America’s Family.” It paved the way for so many imitations. Rolling Stone is politely saying “CANCELLED.” ‘Cosby’ appears nowhere in their top 100. “Roseanne,” another seminal show, is nowhere to be found. Gee, I wonder why. I’m also calling bullshit on “Louie” not being here at all, especially when it heavily inspired shows like “Atlanta” and “Fleabag.” Louie CK’s series was #22 just a few years ago on Rolling Stone’s original list. That 2016 list was, of course, before CK was outed as a serial masturbator. I’m a huge fan of “Atlanta,” but the ninth greatest show of all-time? Laughable. “Fleabag” at #5? #inclusivity. “I May Destroy You” at #19. “Watchmen” at #23? This is simply a rewriting of history. Of course, “The Sopranos,” “The Simpsons,” “Seinfeld,” “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men,” and “The Wire” all deserving of their top 10 slots. I cringed reading their blurb for News Radio (#94) and how the author describes Joe Rogan: Just to recap, “Fleabag” over both “Mad Men” and “Seinfeld” as the 6th greatest show of all time. “Atlanta” ahead of “The Twilight Zone,” “Twin Peaks,” “All in the Family,” and “David Letterman.” We live in a clown world. I’ll spare you from clicking on five pages of RS rankings and just post the top 100: Contribute Hire me
