TIME Magazine's TV critic, James Poniewozik, opens with an apology in his "100 Best TV Shows Of All TIME." He probably "left some of your favorite shows off [the] list;" he knows because he left some of his off too.
We get that it's hard to please everyone. We empathize. That said, here are three of our faves that didn't (and should've, darn it) made the list:
Xena: Warrior Princess
At one point, the number one show in the world, beating Baywatch for the honor. Not one of Sam Raimi's amazingly successful cult TV shows made the list.
Futurama
Firefly
Both of these last shows were preceded by highly successful first, and even second shows by the same creator (Matt Groening and Joss Whedon, respectively.) But because the geniuses behind the story cut themselves better deals the second time around, these arguably higher quality successors to The Simpsons, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel, were cut off before their time.
Are we missing any?
