No top ten but a couple I really enjoyed:

 

PROBE w/Parker Stevenson as the rich genius scientist

 

MAX HEADROOM - the scifi series - not the talk show - way ahead of its time and always "20 minutes into the future". Part of its demise came from networjk directives to "dumb it down". They did. It died.

 

I'm sorry, but you want this thread. poke2.gif

 

I can't believe anybody but me remembers PROBE. foreheadslap.gif

I liked Probe too... but it was on for too brief a time.. (Like Firefly.)

 

I would also add HBO's Band of Brothers but that was a mini-series really.

OK, I just read everyone else's list. Does no one else remember variety shows? They used to be a staple with some of the best talent on TV. I must be the only sucker that loved them despite their cheesiness.
