What do we learn from my annotations to the list? I watch a lot of different shows, but not a lot of each of them.
What do we learn from the list itself? That people at Empire Magazine have questionable taste in tv and that their tvs didn’t work before 1968.
Seriously? Where’s MASH? The Cosby Show? The Mary Tyler Moore Show? The Dick Van Dyke Show?
What would appear on your lists if you were writing a similar list?
