Salon.com: The best TV of the decade.
FTA: What can you say about the vampire series that launched a million vampire series? How about, "This one didn't suck"?
FTA: Salon's Laura Miller best summed up the brilliance of Joss Whedon's cult hit when she wrote, "Whedon's original idea, to take 'the little blond girl who goes into a dark alley and gets killed in every horror movie' and make her the hero of the story, mutated into a remarkably flexible and inventive way to portray the terrors of adolescence.

I'm partial to Buffy, so it would get my number 1. Firefly would be there, too.
I haven't seen The Wire, but I hear great things and have seen it on so many "best of" lists. I think it's about time it was added to my Netflix queue.

I must have completely overlooked Survivor on that list. I'm not a reality TV fan, so my mind probably just blocked it out completely.

I think the critical consensus is gathering -- and I'm very glad our girl is in there.

"Buffy," "Firefly," and "The West Wing" should be on all such lists. Some different picks than I would make here but the only thing I really would object to is "Everybody Loves Raymond." I don't see how it's such a brilliant take on a sitcom. It's always seemed pretty standard to me.

I guess I'm biased, but REALLY? The Simpsons > Buffy...

Anyway, nice to see Buffy still making some rounds. And I love Deadwood as well, and Mad Men and....
