1.
Miami Vice
This show raised the bar for all that followed. The unequalled production values and the acting prowess of its star, Don Johnson, achieved a movie-quality level for television programming...and, along the way, set a style for men's unshaven appearance that has carried through to the present day.

This is absolutely ridiculous. One of the worst shows ever is rated this high. It should be negative 5000. Someone needs to get a life - obviously all someone does is vote for Don Johnson and his shows. He is a d-list actor and voting him and his shows this high all of the time destroys any delusion that these lists have integrity.

There are big fan clubs for both Miami Vice and Don Johnson. You need to get out from under your rock, papasmurf.

Golden Girls
If you have ever watched this show you fell in love. The fact that it is still being aired should tell you just how good the show is

it had it's moments for a popular action/sci-fi show, but lets face folks who have serious case of nostalgia fever, it was dated as HELL. almost every episode follows the same formula and it get's old real fast, david hasselhoff is a complete joke along with his hair, the only saving grace is the awesome theme song and KITT (who needs hasselhoff anyway).
