• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, we have this. So the New York Times,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: they've done a really good job with this. The top
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: TV shows, 100 television shows of the....
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Since 2000.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, since 2000. Oh. And so like 26 years of television.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And they've sent out over 500 surveys to actors, TV, showrunners, writers,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: all of that. And got their responses, and so they've
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: put together the top 100. We left off yesterday at 81.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: The Queen's Gambit was number 81. Okay. So number 80,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I loved this show. And if you've never watched it,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I think there are three seasons. How To with John Wilson.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It is absolutely incredible. He is a documentarian, and I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: think they're just a half an hour long.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But he does it in such an unusual way. It's
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on HBO Max, and the seasons are still available. How
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: To with John Wilson is number 80. Number 79, The
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Good Wife. I know a lot of people like that show.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I've never seen it myself, but it's always done well.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Juliana Margulies. 78, a show my kid loves, everybody loves,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I couldn't get into. I'm just watching Danny DeVito being born.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yeah, I tried.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't get into it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Number 77, a clip we just played, Modern Family.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Was on from 2009 to 2020. Great show. Quite a run.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Another nice thing the New York Times has
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: done is that they select somebody. So Brian Cranston apparently
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: voted for that one. Oh, and I guess he directed
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: some episodes of it. And so they had a little
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: clip of him commenting on what made Modern Family so great.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Number 76, Somebody Somewhere.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: So the name of that show was hard to remember,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and you can't tell what the show's about. But it's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Bridget Everett, and she's just a treasure. That whole show
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: was so well done.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think I saw it. Yeah, it was quite good.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Although my wife will probably say, what do you mean?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We sat and watched the whole thing.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: So semi-autobiographical. She comes from a small town, and she
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: goes home to take.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Care of her sick sister. Yeah. This one, the next one,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: number 75, Ted Lasso. We all know what that is.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: This season is, I don't know why everyone's crapping on
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: this season.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I like it. I'm enjoying it. It's the same show.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Number 74, The Bear. The Bear. Yeah. Pretty good. Number 73.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: This show was great. It was on for 2018 to 2023. Barry. Oh, yeah.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Bill Hader. He's a hit man.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Stephen Root.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Stephen Root.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Who's in Widow's Bay now.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Stephen Root as his handler. And Henry Winkler. Yeah. That's right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It's Gene Cousineau. Gene Cousineau. Gene Cousineau.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: It's a great show.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Number 72. Squid Game.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Never watched it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I did. I watched all three seasons. I liked the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I can't say I liked the first season, but I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: thought the first season was the best. It sucked you in.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Then I stopped. I kind of fell out after watching
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: some of the second season. Number 71. Didn't think I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: would like this show. Like it a lot. Beef. They're
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: season one of The Beef. We're talking about season one. Yeah,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they're talking specifically season one of The Beef. Steven Yeun
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and Ali Wong. Yes. They were great. Great. Number 70.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I watched all of this show. Just because I loved
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: watching Vic Mackey chew the scenery. Number 70, The Shield.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The Shield? That's where we first saw Walton Goggins, pretty much.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: He was the co-star with, what's his name, Michael Chiklis,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: playing the merciless Vic Mackey. And Walton Goggins as his
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: tragically loyal right-hand man, Shane Vendrell. But, you know, nobody
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: can chew scenery like Michael Chiklis. Number... 69, Anthony Bourdain,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: No Reservations.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, that was such a good show.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: 2005 to 2012. Yeah. Number 68, excellent show, one of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the greatest performances on TV, Ozark, 2017 to 2022, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Julia Garner. Holy crap, she's good in that.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, she really is.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: They're all great. That was a really good show. Number 67,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I Couldn't Watch It, The Handmaid's Tale. Yeah, I wanted
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to watch it. It's too close to... I still want
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to watch it, but it is. It was just depressing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Just depressing. Number 66, The Rehearsal.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I can't do it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Nathan Fielder. I tried. There's a picture of him being
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: hoisted up into the air, and he's wearing a baby diaper.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: He makes me so uncomfortable, and I know that's the point.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Number 65... and it just gives one year.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Has it only been on one season, The Mayor of Easttown? Yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: they only did one season.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: But that's Kate Winslet.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It was really good. Jeremy Renner. Number 64, Anthony Bourdain
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: got another show, Parts Unknown.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which was essentially no reservations.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Let's see, number 63, The Thick of It. I've never
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: even heard of that. Oh, it's... It is by... Before
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: he clowned Washington in Veep, Armando Iannucci had a go
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: at British politics. We're throwing British shows into this? Well,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: but they showed it on BritBox, but it's the thick
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of it. And apparently it's very, very unusual. Number 62,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a show that I finally started watching and then couldn't
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: stop watching. Slow Horses. Oh, yeah. 2022. New season out now. Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it just started. And what's his name?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Gary Oldman.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Gary Oldman is great. 61. RuPaul's Drag Race. How about that?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: It's got a loyal following.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It sure does. Connie Britton commenting on it. Really? Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And so there you go. That's the next chunk of them.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: The next chunk of the top TV shows. It's... I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: think it's an interesting list. For one thing, so we've
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: done 40 of them. That's just a lot of good TV.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, really well done stuff.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Half of that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Really well done. Is Arrested Development too old for
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that list? No, I don't think so, no. Let me see.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Because I was thinking about this list briefly yesterday, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I was wondering if certain shows that I think should
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: be on the list are too old.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean... Like Larry Sanders.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Would be too old to be on that list, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the Larry Sanders show is a terrific show.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, let's see. Arrested Development?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It debuted in 2003. Oh, okay.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So it could make the list? I'm sure it would.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it'll be on.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because... Great show.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: That's a good one to go back and... Like, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: watched it a long time ago.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Go back and rewatch. There were... See, there were three seasons,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and then a long break, and then a fourth season, right? No,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: there were five seasons. Well, whatever it was, the last
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: one was not good. It was the one where they
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: made the.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Episodes like little movies or something, and they would string
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: them together.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it just wasn't good. It was when it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: was on Netflix. Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: That's right. They moved it to there.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They shouldn't have done that. They should have just
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: left it. Let it be. All right. Well, there they
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: are anyway.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: We'll do more tomorrow.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: We'll get through them.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I finished my rewatch of Battlestar Galactica.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: How many times have you rewatched it? This is only
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the second time. I can't do that with many shows.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It's mainly because I feel like I don't have time.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Well, and then you read a list like that, and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: there are lots on there that I haven't.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Ever seen, so I catch up on them. But was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: it satisfying?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Very. Very.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Because I watched it when it was originally broadcast, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: then I bought the DVDs, but I didn't watch the DVDs.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I still have them. And when I saw it was
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: on Paramount +, I went, oh, okay, give it a shot.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And then I got hooked again, and there was a
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: lot of stuff that I forgot about and that I missed.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: That tells you it's good that it hooked you again. Yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've still got on this list, we've got to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: get to, I'm sure, Succession. Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Arrested Development will be there. I'm just watching
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a short clip from that one, the Iannucci one, the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: British one that I mentioned. It looks really funny and weird.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I've never even heard of it. But, I mean, Veep
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: is one of them.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So Veep's got to be on the list, too. I
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: love Veep.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Arrested Development Season 4 broke the normal progression and followed
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: a particular character. They recut it the normal way after
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the backlash.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: We hope you've enjoyed another list with Radio From Hell
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: on X96.
