THE 100 ALL-TIME GREATEST TV SHOWS...

Entertainment Weekly has released a special double issue for the first week of July with a countdown of The 100 All-Time Greatest Movies, Albums, Novels, and of course, TV Shows.

EW's list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all-time already has generated a lot of buzz with the typical complaints of "Where's this show?" and "Why is this show included?" and even the "This show should have been ranked higher/lower!"...nobody is ever happy, right?

Well STAY TUNED just wants to give some exposure to this wonderful issue (including an excellent tribute to the late James Gandolfini) and hopefully generate some talk in the TV Den. So grab your bean bag chair and glance at the countdown.

Today we'll highlight the bottom ten shows, #91 - 100, on EW's all-time list.

#100 - The Brady Bunch

Who could forget that addicting theme song? The Bradys showed us that families can blend together through the bonds of a second marriage.

#99 - Alias

Sydney and Vaughn. Spy Daddy and Spy Mommy. Francie and Doppelganger Francie. Huge, gaping 2-year flash-forward. Alias brought the spy game to television viewers and probably was the first show to implement the flash-forward technique halfway through its run. Part of us wanted to be part of the Bristow family. The other part thanked reality for not having a zany family.

#98 - Bewitched

Samantha Stephens was one foxy witch. It was the twitch of the nose that set things off. Bewitched introduced the world to witchcraft in a comedic setting and it hit the ball right out of the park. The effects were top notch for its time and made the show believable. It also spawned the eternal debate that remains to this very date, Darrin #1 vs. Darrin #2. Each actor brought a uniqueness to the role but it's ultimately Darrin #1 (Dick York) that was the better Darrin. And let's not forget Endora, Samantha's mortal-hating mother. Endora stole the show every single time she appeared on screen.

#97 - The Comeback

Lisa Kudrow's show was on the air for a short amount of time. I mean if you blinked you would have never known that Kudrow had returned to television with this witty show on HBO. Probably the strongest vehicle for Kudrow post-Friends, it received praise and positive reviews but failed to capture the fickle audience. HBO made a mistake in not renewing the show for a second season.

#96 - Malcolm in the Middle

Malcolm in the Middle was a refreshing comedy that brought the family back to the core. The show featured a typical American family with the internal dysfunction and problems most of our families have experienced. Malcolm had the ability to showcase family strife without vulgarity, as was the case of similar shows during the 2000s. Sympathizers and sufferers of middle-child syndrome related to Malcolm and the pains of growing up in that family environment. It's also great to see Bryan Cranston pre-Breaking Bad.

#95 - Grey's Anatomy

It's drama. It's soapy. It's a dramedy...of sorts. However you want to define it, Grey's Anatomy has been one roller coaster of a show. Hospital dramas can sometimes get boring and bogged down in the depths of dull if there is more medical jargon than storyline. This show has managed to overcome that hurdle and provide outstanding, eye-opening, mouth dropping stories for the last nine years. Just when it seems that Grey's can't top itself, it always finds a way to go over the top. Shootings, plane crashes, deaths, deaths, and more deaths. Most of the audience has been torn between McDreamy and McSteamy, while others root for McBreathy (as in "I hope my favorite character makes it to next week's episode"). Whatever your feelings are about the show, you have got to give it up to homegirl Grey for getting through all the ish she's been through in almost a decade on the air.

#94 - Project Runway

I really have nothing to add to Project Runway. I'm not going to say anything too horrible because my friend Chanelle watches this program religiously when she's working out at her gym. The show has provided an outlet for talented designers to demonstrate their ideas and gain entry into a difficult industry. If anything, the cattiness of the contestants and harsh, honest creative criticism of the judges make this show worth watching.

#93 - The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour

The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was a variety show that pushed the buttons and limits with its frequent political humor. Airing during a time when variety shows were hot commodities, audience grabbers, and ratings winners, the Smothers Brothers mixed comedic skits with musical acts, most times by the actual Smothers Brothers themselves but other times bringing in hot (what we would consider indie these days) artists of the late '60s. After reviewing some clips of the show, it makes one wish variety shows would make a comeback.

#92 - Sanford and Son

Sanford and Son was a groundbreaking comedy on many levels. It became a popular show featuring an entire cast of African-Americans, including the lead characters of Fred Sanford and his son Lamont. The setting of the show was the Sanford junkyard, the family business which was another rarity at the time. The show centered around an African-American-owned business, a huge leap from the supporting television roles of house cleaners, maids, butlers, and menial employees in the late '60s through the '70s. Fred Sanford (played brilliantly by the late Redd Foxx) Controversial material was almost the norm as the show consistently tested the boundaries in its half-hour format. In fact, Sanford and Son helped pave the road for future African-American television.

And who could forget the Sanford and Son theme?!?

#91 - Star Trek

Space...the final frontier. Star Trek wasn't exactly a ratings winner but it gained a loyal following and has increased its cult status thanks to syndication, spin-offs, movies, and books. In retrospect, Star Trek was following the trend of space-centered television shows in the mid to late '60s. The premise was fascinating: space in the future, advanced technology, and traveling to different worlds and encountering strange beings and alien life forms. And let's be honest, that space ship was neat-o. As the show continued on during its three year run, it became a habit to wonder how exactly the extra in the red shirt would meet his or her demise. Because let's face it, if you wore a red shirt on the shirt then you pretty much were going to die. Star Trek also made television history by being the first American show to feature an interracial kiss (Cap. Kirk and Uhura). That jungle fever kiss, Spock's pointer ears and hand sign, alien green women, and furry little balls called Tribbles were just some highlights associated with this cult classic.

Well there you go. EW's list has opened the floodgate of memories. There were some surprises so far. I wouldn't consider The Comeback and Grey's Anatomy as part of the 100 greatest shows of all-time. They're good shows, but deserve an honorary mention status.

What do you think of the EW's list so far? Chime in if you loved, hated, watched any of these shows mentioned. Stay Tuned will be back with the next set #90-81!
