(Updated from a shorter 2016 list) I assembled this alphabetized list of "best TV and cable shows of all time") for friends but got so many requests for it that I posted it here and update it periodically. Not all of the shows are current. I've added stars to shows that in my view are "must try" and I've provided links for many shows, but venues change. You can always google the name of a show and scroll down past the Google ads to see if and where the shows are streaming now. If you haven't seen it, start with Friday Night Lights (2006-2011, watch streaming on Hulu and maybe one other channel now). Read More

Why Hundreds of Thousands of People Are Rallying To Save 'Last Man Standing' (Joshunda Sanders, Change.org, 5-17-17 -- the article was deleted.) From the article: "Last Man Standing stands out in the sea of network television sitcoms. It is a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values. Last Man Standing was not just selling conservative ideals though, as some of the characters in the show are clearly of the liberal persuasion, yet the characters on the show all manage to get along and take care of one another, despite their politically opposed views. The show is about more than politics though, it is about family. In fact, politics is only a secondary part of the show, but one in which many Americans can readily identify."

Your list is absolutely perfect. The only thing I would add are our two favorite shows
The Worst Week of My Life (Very hard to find. We only get it by accident once in a while.)
and
Jeeves and Wooster Available to buy and we of course have the whole set.
Your list is fantastic. Thank you. I’m going to send it to my friends in Dubai. They are always looking for good suggestions! Thank you thank you! Linda

[Here's an example of a comment totally irrelevant to the topic of this blog post, which I am accepting simply because it's weird: A detective agency in Delhi, India, that will help you spot if your spouse is cheating on you (and with whom) by providing Adultery Detective Services. [Dear Sirs: What does this have to do with TV and cable shows?]
