Hmmm...interesting list. And FYI (who don't know) My So Called Life is shown now on the Noggin station. I liked it when I was a late teen, BUT it hasn't translated as well for me as an adult. However on the completely other end of the spectrum Twin Peaks was completely too much for me as a late teen, but as an adult I love it!

Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman? That must be a very exclusive cult. |

Oh, my. So much is wrong with this.
Python is a clear #2. Twin Peaks, though, should be #3, easily. And Police Squad! should be up there as well.
A case could be made for the original "Late Night with David Letterman".
And Iron Chef should be up there in the top ten.

"The Fugitive" was quite a hit in its day, wasn't it?
And I personally loved NBC's "Pretender".

What! No Dukes of Hazard or Hawaii Five-O? Worthless list.

I don't think Dukes or Hawaii Five-0 (or The Simpsons and The Twilight Zone) belong on the list because they were hugely popular in their original run. I think of a cult show as one people have to fight for to keep on the air.
Homicide-Life On the Streets needs to be on the list. So does Sportsnight. I'd also entertain including The Kids In the Hall, the old SCTV and Fernwood 2Night!.
