From a pioneering variety show from the black-and-white days to two faves on now -- see our No. 1. To see EW's picks of the top 100 all-time greatest TV shows
What's the best TV show of all time? Who knows? This poll is strictly about favorite shows, the programs people in Hollywood hold nearest to their hearts — that remind them of better times or speak to their inner child or inspire their creativity or just help them unwind after a crappy day at the studio — even if one or two of the programs listed here aren't exactly masterpieces of the medium.
The shared universe of The Practice, Ally McBeal, Boston Public, and Boston Legal was created by David E. Kelley and is set in Boston, with various characters and settings crossing over from time to time, along with a more traditional spin-off from The Practice into Boston Legal.
