Survivor in the News

In their June 27-July 4 double issue, Entertainment Weekly named its top ten New Classic TV Shows of the past 25 years – and guess what was the only reality show to make the cut? Yeah, you got it.

“Survivor” placed sixth on the list, which was topped by “The Simpsons.” Hey, I have no argument with that….but the rest of the list is dubious at best. In case you’re curious:

1. The Simpsons
2. The Sopranos
3. Seinfeld
4. The X-Files
5. Sex and the City
6. Survivor
7. The Cosby Show
8. Lost
9. Friends
10. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

What, no “The Wonder Years”? No “thirtysomething”? No “Beverly Hills 90210”? And what about the juggernaut of "American Idol"?

Okay, so maybe I’m the only one who thinks the classic that launched teen programming – and Shannon Dougherty – is noteworthy. But leaving “thirtysomething” off and including “Lost”? I have to pull the plug on this list.
