A collection of TV shows listed in various 'best of the decade' articles, with the default sort by the number of times they are mentioned

Sketch Comedy TV Shows for Adults. Variety shows are only included if the musical acts are only minor components. No anthology shows, each episode must have multiple skits. Episodes can have an overarching theme, but shouldn't focus on continuity, and there shouldn't be a need for continuity between episodes. In theory, all of these should be able to be played on random without any confusion about what's going on.

As of 3/3/2024

The following is a list of series from 1950-2023. Series within were in the top ten of both Trakt’s Popular & Trakt’s All Time Watched in each of their respective years. The exception to that sole guideline above was the years 1950-1955, where the top ten were cross reference as a group as opposed to individual years.

These are some of my favorite TV shows I remember growing up. These shows are not a random copy and paste list. These are real shows I personally enjoyed. I don't believe in lists that contain 8,000 movies claiming that everyone must see before they die. Dumping tens of thousands of movies in a playlist to share is irresponsible to others. No one can be helped by that! It can only mean that you're not genuine with your "selection." In fact, you'd probably die before you actually even finish looking through that long list!!

NBC might just be my favorite. Lots of my lists are dominated by HBO and FX shows, but I don't think any network has as many shows near the top as NBC does. Obviously, they have historic classics, like Cheers and Seinfeld and other programs that crushed the ratings back in the day. But to me, nothing compares to Thursday night comedies on NBC from around 2009 to 2013. That's as good as it gets, baby, and we have NBC to thank, against all odds. Love to go to Rockefeller Center!
