What Was the Most Influential TV Show Ever?

Liz Meriwether, creator and co–show runner, New Girl

Obviously, without a doubt, absolutely Saved by the Bell. Its influence on taste, fashion, and politics has reverberated throughout history and across the globe. Second only to Hey Dude, which aired during the Nickelodeon renaissance of the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Vince Gilligan, creator and show runner, Breaking Bad

Try to picture the world without The Simpsons: Doh wouldn’t be in the OED; Fox would’ve gone the way of the passenger pigeon and UPN; TV dads might still be more Ward Cleaver than Tony Soprano.

Jessica Walter, actress, Arrested Development (Lucille Bluth)

But in fact, at every instant you are actually in the process of recalling who you were a second ago and becoming yourself again the next second. In each moment your emotions reinterpret you, invent you anew, move you forward-remember, they are your time machine. Despair is different. That self that has no possibility is in despair. It cannot move. It cannot reinvent itself. It sinks into death.
