214--Cavemen (LABT)

 

Described as a buddy comedy, it edges out Friends in the rankings of that genre by virtue of its shorter run.

215) America's Test Kitchen (KenJennings)

 

My all time favorite cooking show. I was extremely disappointed when Chris Kimball left the program after last season, but the show is very instructive and demonstrative on how to actually cook. This isn't one of the personality/drama driven 'cooking game shows' that the Food Network is so obsessed with these days; it's a real, no nonsense, learn-to-cook show. I love that their recipes are all tested by a tasting panel, and painstakingly perfected through trial and error. Their ingredient taste tests and kitchen gadget reviews are also very helpful in elevating a home cook's skills.

217-- The Flash (2014-present). Another show that's not the greatest but I find entertaining for the most part (except when they do the relationship stuff as is expected for a CW show). In a nice touch, the actor who played The Flash in the short-lived 90s show occasionally appears as an alternate Earth Flash on this one. By far the best CW DC Comics show.

I hope we aren't done. There's one more I want to add.

Why would you think we'd stop at 218?

 

Normally I wouldn't question it but I got suspicious after seeing the list that Ken Jennings posted of all our tv shows. Lol. It's almost as if he's going to send them to Santa to see if they are naughty or nice shows.

219) Rocko's Modern Life (KenJennings)

 

A favorite from my childhood, this show holds up today, and is still entertaining. I've recently taken to showing my nephew a copy of the series that I downloaded online, and we're loving it. The show is packed with absurdity and inuendos, which allows viewers of any age to appreciate it, with the kids having no idea how far over their heads a number of jokes fly.

221) The Office

 

I wasn't a huge fan of this when it was first on but did watch it occasionally. However, it does deserve to be on here and it is where I first heard about Steve Carrel(who I later became a big fan of). Some very quirky characters in this show especially Dwight. I can't think of anyone more annoying than Michael(Steve Carell). I probably wouldn't last one day on the job with a boss like that. Lol. It was still a good show though.

223) Seven Days (KenJennings)

 

Here's one from the vault... a low-budget UPN sci-fi thriller about a secret government project that could send one agent back in time seven days to stop incidents and attacks against the homeland. It actually had a reasonably successful three year run, but somehow it is now widely forgotten. The show can't even be found streaming anywhere, or for sale as a DVD set. I used to tune in every week in spite of the iffy acting and mediocre special effects because the series had genuinely likable and interesting characters, clever storylines, and innovative premise. It may not go down in any history books as an example of television greatness, but it will always be one of my favorites.

224-- The Punisher (2017-present). A very violent show with a solid story. I heard complaints that the show didn't have enough action but as not much of an action fan I think the show had plenty. Jon Bernthal has to be the best actor to have ever played the character.

225) Dream On ( Lucas )

 

Another HBO gem .. Brian Benben as Martin Tupper with black and white clips from older television shows and movies spliced in to punctuate Martin's emotion at that moment .. Ran for six years and was the first sitcom that I saw that spiced things up with profanity ... Elizabeth Pena as the hot plumber was the best of many great episodes

OMFG...The Office didn't get mentioned within the first 200 (not to mention the first 20)?

231) Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman/Fernwood Tonight (goose)

 

The deadpan comedy of the Mary Hartman faux-soap opera gave birth to the mock-talk show spinoff Fernwood Tonight. Both were comedy genius.
