I looked and looked and nowhere could I find Evening Shade, Ned and Stacy or Dweebs.

Also not making the list were such classics as The Monroes, The Tony Danza Show and M.A.N.T.I.S.
These were all TV shows that graced the airwaves way back in the '90s. That, fellow Arkansans, was in another century. I suddenly feel so old.
Today we're discussing the recent list of Top Shows of the '90s as picked by the TV experts at www.dvdorderonline.com. Granted, it's a Web site and anybody with a computer can be an expert these days, but it makes for interesting conversation around the dinner table.
The Web site gave a Top 40, but the Top 20 will do for our purposes. Here they are with pithy comments from me. Is your favorite near the top? No? Still a fan of Madman of the People and Thunder Alley?
20. Twin Peaks (1990-91). We finally found out who killed Laura Palmer, but we forgot why we cared.
19. Sports Night (1998-2000). It was from Aaron Sorkin and it was about so much more than sports. It also gave us the wonderful Felicity Huffman.
18. Melrose Place (1992-99). Two words: Heather Locklear. Say no more.
17. Murphy Brown (1988-98). The TV series that made Dan Quayle look foolish. Wait. He did that on his own. Never mind.
16. South Park (1997-present). One of these days those "b******s will have killed Kenny" and he'll stay dead.
15. Northern Exposure (1990-95). Look up "quirky" and you'll find a photo of a moose and Cicely, Alaska.
14. Frasier (1993-2004). The series won 37 Emmys. A record. It still makes us laugh.
13. Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000). A brilliant series. Too brilliant for broadcast television and a mass audience.
12. NYPD Blue (1993-2005). Any series that can expose Dennis Franz' rear end and stay on the air deserves to be nearer the top of the list.
11. Law & Order (1990-present). The series is closing in on Gunsmoke as the longest-running prime-time drama ever. No drawn-out story arcs. No complicated characters. Wrapped up in 60 minutes. The fans like that.
10. The Sopranos (1999-2007). What? Only No. 10? Tony will have somebody whacked.
9. The Larry Sanders Show
(1992-98). Forgot about this one, didn't you? Garry Shandling, Rip Torn and Jeffrey Tambor were brilliant spoofing Hollywood talk shows.
8. Homicide: Life on the Streets
(1993-99). May have been too gritty for most, but it still was one of the most talented ensemble casts to work on TV.
7. Roseanne (1988-97). The early years showcased Roseanne at her most domestic-goddess brilliant. Then she and the show got weird.
6. The X-Files (1993-2002). Mulder? Scully? I still don't know if the truth was out there, but it was a fun place to visit each week.
5. Friends (1994-2004). We came to view Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe as our extended family and watch them grow from young adults to not-so-young.
4. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003). Dismissed as silly, and underappreciated by the industry, Buffy dealt with universal emotions and teen angst. Besides, staking the vamps was a cool special effect.
3. The Simpsons (1989-present). Brilliant subversive satire that never grows old.
2. ER (1994-2009). I watched for six or seven years then lost interest once they killed off Dr. Mark Greene in 2002. I did, however, learn the meaning of glioblastoma multiforme.
1. Seinfeld (1990-1998). You'll get no argument from me. Once up to speed, the show was mustsee brilliance every week. It still is in syndication.
Maybe your show didn't make the Top 20. Every series, no matter how insipid, is somebody's very most favorite of all time.
