-The reason that The Sopranos was voted the best show is not because it's a particularly great tv series. Members of the guild voted for it because it makes them feel they're better (writers) than they really are.
-There's only one show that deserves to be #1 and that is The Simpsons. It's the best show of all time. Yet, it didn't
even make the top ten.
-David E. Kelley didn't get any of his shows to top 100. Perhaps the greatest writer of all time didn't get a single show on the list. Picket Fences, Ally Mcbeal, The Practice - not on the list.
-The Sopranos and Seinfeld have nothing to do with making the world a better place. Coincidence - or could it be more likely that writers (voters) are more confused and clueless than ever?
-Some really bad shows made it to the list (Will & Grace, Law & Order, The Good Wife). I guess a lot of people voted for their own shows.
-Despite what everyone says again, this is simply not the golden age of tv. The golden age of tv was 20 years ago when we had The Simpsons, X-files, Picket Fences etc. - all better than anything that's on tv today.
