Television fans often debate what shows they simply could not live without. For example, if you were stranded on a desert island and could only have one show to watch, which one would you choose?
We've made it a little easier by breaking down all of classic TV into twelve categories. Pick which series in each genre would be the only one you would want to watch for the rest of your life.

55% similar. I Love Lucy is the best show ever!
I just guessed which was the most popular. I was WAY OFF on some of them. For example, I didn't realize that The Andy Griffith, Bewitched, and Carol Burnett were so popular. I was also surprised that Gunsmoke ran neck n neck with Bonanza. When I was a kid, Bonanza rated #1 show on network TV.
I've been watching I Love Lucy my whole life already so that wouldn't change. I would like to add All In the Family. I would need that on my island.
53% I should have picked The Rockford files though and I didn't
#10 for me superman but was not a choice-- shame!!!
75% similar. Usually like to be different but they really hit some of my favorite shows.

1. M*A*S*H for the character development over the entire run and of course, for the incredible series finale.
2. Gunsmoke for the number of episodes. All the Westerns listed were great.
3. The Rockford Files for many reasons, least of which is the great theme song.
4. Dallas. All of the shows to choose from were great, but I love Dallas' opening credits and theme song.
5. The Carol Burnett Show for the variety and for Tim Conway.
6. Star Trek. Kirk, Spock, and Bones, my early Sci-Fi trinity.
7. L.A. Law for the great cast, especially Jimmy Smits and Corbin Bernsen.
8. The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson. Nobody is better than Johnny.
9. The A-Team for its outright campiness and humor.
10. Wonder Woman. 2 word: Lynda Carter!
11. The Ed Sullivan Show. It's a really big show!
12. The Munsters because they're relatable.

Love it ❤️❤️❤️
I love Metv, it takes me back to when life was fun and easier.
I went with long-running programs and ones I’ve seen way too often but still enjoy.
#12, '60s Far-out Fantasy shows reported: Bewitched at 36%, The Munsters at 27%, I Dream of Jeannie at 20%, and The Addams Family at 17%. I voted for "I Dream of Jeannie." How many men would turn down the exquisite, sexy Barbara Eden? Her only real competition was Elizabeth Montgomery on "Bewitched." Jeannie's costumes were absolutely gorgeous on her, while I don't recall seeing Samantha in a comparable, however lovely she also was!
Barbara Eden was gorgeous & Bill Daily’s comic genius as Major Healey took a quirkier turn when he played Howard Borden the following decade. — Addams family was my favorite & it wasn’t till I was in my 30s that I discovered the Charles Addams cartoons from the New Yorker on which the series was based!
My all time favorite is MASH “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.”
Watched it with about two hundred people crammed into the only tv lounge allowed on my small campus in the Santa Barbara hills that spring...
