Surprisingly Frasier did not make the cut. Relative notables Cheers (20), Seinfeld (5), Friends (26), SNL (8).
Although the list was overall good imo but my favourite show Frasier continues to be underrated, underappreciated while still being as funny today as it first aired.
Any Rolling Stone list should be taken with a truckload of salt.
shareRolling Stone's lists of 100 favorites are always ridiculous. About every 5 years, they'll do a list of the best albums of all time. The Beatles are always #1 but the album they choose flip flops depending on the weather.
These lists are based on what's being talked about at the time. These critics meet a few people at a party, start talking about what's hot right now. Then all of the sudden, they're publishing a best of all time list based on those conversations.
I remember when the movie Almost Famous came out. Critics were raving over it because they could all relate to it. There's that scene where the main characters are on a bus and start singing Elton John's Tiny Dancer.
While I like the song, it was never a major hit (it didn't even crack Billboard's top 40 when it was released) and wasn't usually talked about as being one of John's major songs. Yet a few weeks after the movie was released, here was Rolling Stone publishing a list of the all-time greatest songs with Tiny Dancer being right up there.

Rolling Stone always has shoddy lists. They are super liberal, so I wouldn't be surprised if they left Frasier off because they don't like Kelsey Grammer. lol. Frasier deserves to at least be in the top 50.
