Rolling Stone has come up with the 100 greatest TV shows of all time. My list was a little different.

The Oct. 6 issue of Rolling Stone is out, with the magazine’s list of “The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time” on the cover. (No. 1? Hardly a spoiler alert needed – it’s HBO’s “The Sopranos.”)

I’ve been waiting to see this list since the late spring, when I was asked, with a few other TV critics (as well as some television creators, producers, writers and actors) to send in my own list of what I considered to be the 50 best shows on TV, ever. It’s not an easy task, even though Rolling Stone helpfully supplied a long list of potential candidates, sorted by decade, to help jog the memory.
