It was 30 years ago edition. I recently discovered Mad About You in reruns on the RewindTV cable channel. I'm enjoying it. I don't know why I didn't watch it when it originally aired -- maybe because I had a rather active social life back in the day.
But anyway, the top shows of 1994 were iconic and influential. While Seinfeld and Roseanne still make me throw up in my mouth, there's no denying the enduring popularity of (most of) these shows.
Nielson's Top 13 of the 1994 season:
1. Seinfeld
2. ER
3. Home Improvement
4. Grace Under Fire (Brett Butler was so hot for a while, then she disappeared)
5. Monday Night Football
6. 60 Minutes (It's been on more than 50 years now)
7. NYPD Blue
8. Murder, She Wrote
tied with
8. Friends (still my favorite show)
9. Roseanne
10. Mad About You
11. Madman of the People (I have no memory of this show at all)
12. Ellen (the sitcom, not the daytime talk show)
13. Hope and Gloria (I don't recall this one, either)
