Geez, no mention of "Northern Exposure", the series where David Chase got his start (in season 5)? If Bill Cosby didn't have his sickness for strong-arming sex, bet his ground-breaking series "I Spy" & "Cosby Show" woulda been included somewhere on that list. Along with "A Different World". No "12 0' Clock High" either? A lot of Rockford's vibe was incorporated from David Janssen's last series "Harry O", which introduced Farrah Fawcett-Majors & Loni Anderson as next door stewardesses. And how can a supposed music magazine not even mention "WKRP"? Nor A.B.C.'s "Monday Night Football", which brought N.F.L. football to main-stream audiences via Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell (who informed America about John Lennon's tragic death), & Dandy Don Meridith? These nowadaze Rolling Stone lists should be taken with proverbial grain of salt, like when Bessie Smith or Billie Holliday are rated as the 60th greatest singers of all time.
