Ah, Much Better: Top 8 Shows From My Childhood That Have Held Up Pretty Well

Last week , I talked about the Top 8 TV shows I loved as a kid that just haven't stood the test of time. Lest ye think that I have a negative attitude about all old-school television, I decided to present the companion list.

Sadly, it was much more difficult to compile a list of 8 old shows that are still just as enjoyable today as they were in yesteryear. (I have enough lame TV shows to have made another "didn't hold up" list, but I decided that would be too negative.)

I'd love to know if you think I've left any clearly timeless shows out of the list.

1.) The Muppet Show

2.) The Dick Van Dyke Show

3.) Newhart

4.) M*A*S*H*

5.) The Mary Tyler Moore Show

6.) The Bob Newhart Show

7.) Cheers

8.) The Carol Burnett Show

Disclaimer: I'm probably older and lazier than anyone who reads this blog. That means I've spent a lot more time, both chronological and agregate, watching TV than you. With all those television-watching opportunities, I probably watched shows when I was a kid that you never would have considered watching. That's your loss, Baby--you wasted your time playing outside and participating in sports. Maybe if you pay close attention and try very hard, you can learn to be as cool as I am.
