Mitchell's Multi-Monthly Meanderings
	November 13, 2003 Mitchell?s Multi-Monthly Meanderings Presents: The Top Ten TV Shows of All Time! Criteria?  My own personal preference.  Reason?  I haven?t written an article in a while.  Why should you care?  ?Cause I told you to! 1.  The Simpsons No big surprise here.  Homer and family have been making my generation laugh for years.  15 years!   According to a recent report The Simpsons are back.  I disagree, anyone who complained about the last few seasons was simply expecting too much.  The Simpsons don?t owe you anything.  They?ve given you years and years of free entertainment. 2.  Futurama A major upset here!  I went over this list 10 times to make sure it was right.  Upon further review, I absolutely adore this show!  Less than 100 episodes of what essentially was a Simpsons spinoff turned into wonderful, obscure television bliss.  The professor and Dr. Zoidberg are absolute numbsculls.  Leela is kind, sincere and Peg Bundy.  Fry is the epitome of the 20th century ugly American.  That leaves us with the second greatest comedic character in the history of fiction.  Flexo!   I mean, Bender. 3.  The Screen Savers Another huge upset.  Three months ago, I?d have told you I was quitting this show.  Morgan Webb had just been ?promoted? to host of X-Play, Megan Morrone just quit, the world was falling apart!  I have to admit, though, that Sarah Lane & Jessi Corbin are doing a superlative job!  Part of me wanted to see them fail, but they?ve come through with flying colors.  The show is better than ever, Pat and Leo are so loveable and their interaction with us fans is great.  In fact leovilletownsquare.com might be the best place on all of the internet!  [Ed Note: Of course what Mitchell meant was the best place outside of Sex Stone on all of the internet.] 4.  Family Guy This one I thought would be higher.  Seth MacFarlane is the funniest man on the planet, plus you have Jackie from That ?70?s Show, Dreamboat Seth Green, guest spots by Norm Macdonald, Adam Carolla and the rest.  The show goes over the top, perhaps too far, even for me.  Still highly ranked at #4. 5.  X-Play Two words: I Missed Out on Morgan 6. Spongebob Squarepants I thought this was a kids show.  Luckily Metten turned me on to it.  Oh, sure, there?s jokes for the seven year olds, but like any good cartoon, there?s jokes for us adults too.  Spongebob is the perfect good, the lone innocent in a world gone cynical. 7.  Mr. Show with Bob and David Taken by themselves, David Cross & Bob Odenkirk are boisterous, pretentious, blasphemous, loudmouth, leftwing, left coast jerkoffs that ought to shut their mouths if they know what?s good for them!  Put them together and there even more so!  It was great!!!  Mr. Show didn?t break the rules, it chewed them up and shat them out, just not on the flag!  Plus they brought us Jack Black and that?s very good. 8.  Beavis and Butthead One day, in 11th grade, I almost got kicked out of American History and suspended from school for rolling on the floor in laughter.  My friend Chandler turned to me and said, ?Uh, Burritos??  and I lost it.  Luckily the teacher was our offensive line coach, Mr. Long and I was needed for that nights game. 9.  The Kids in the Hall Just to put things in perspective, this show started the same year as The Simpsons, yet, all of the Kids are already washed up has beens.  No matter, KITH took sketch comedy to the next level, and it is still, the most original, bizarre, and avant garde sketch show out there.  With that said, the show was simply fucking funny.  The Citizen Kane sketch makes me laugh almost weekly, and I haven?t watched it in over a year.                  10.  All-That Its like SNL, for kids, but better.  The Home of The Good Burger spawned such careers as Keenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell and Amanda Bynes.  Word!  Plus the theme song was by TLC and it was awesome.  ?So sit?chyo booty on the floor or in a chair, ground or in the air, just don?t go no??..WHERE!?           Honorable Mention           These kisses just missed the list:            Pee Wee?s Playhouse           The State           South Park           The Daily Show           Reno 911!           The Muppet Show
