Coming back to this sketch nearly 11 years later, I'd love to see them take on more shows that have come out since then. Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead? Hell, all of Netflix's and every other Streaming Service Original show is worthy of it's own sketch in this vein.

0:28 me when my friend told me he never grew up with Cartoon Network and just start watching it recently.

[@TheShortStory]

There's one major, major oversight. The show that popularised the trend of serial tv-shows (that is one story over several episodes), gave TV a more sinister tone and laid the groundwork for everything from Dexter and Breaking Bad to Mad Men. I'm talking, of course, of The Sopranos

[@test2facsimile881]

This is fantastic! I noticed, however, that Fafa and Mario missed some of the classic series like Gilligan's Island, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Rifleman, The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, The Waltons, Home Improvement, M*A*S*H, Columbo, Everybody Loves Raymond, High Chaperal, The Desert Rats, Hogan's Heroes, The Andy Griffith Show, Mr. Ed, The Jetsons, Tour of Duty, and the various Star Wars spin off series.... does this mean that you're going to make History of Television 2?:) Great job and keep up the good work.

[@duckythegamer7263]

[@kyleneopperman6186]

Jaxon Summers or friends, but still great video, wait never mind, I just saw it

[@johnlathan9620]

You should have included: "I Spy", the first show to be shot in exotic locations "South Park" was a big deal, saving Comedy Central from being a failed network SNL - launched so many careers and characters Sopranos - the first of many drama shows that really gave premium channels a boost Doctor Who - longest running Sci-Fi series MTV - back in the 80s it was a big deal to see music videos on TV

[@Greyghostvol1]

+John Lathan "I Spy", the first show to be shot in exotic locations: I don't know, it had that catch to it, I'm not sure, however, if that catch was more ground breaking than simply a way to be distinctive among so many spy/agent TV shows. "South Park" was a big deal, saving Comedy Central from being a failed network: It was still, just simply a more raunchy The Simpsons. However, I do think it helped in making certain topics less taboo over all on TV...so sure, I'll overall agree with this one. "SNL - launched so many careers and characters": If we're sticking simply to the golden age of SNL in the early 80s, the silver age in the early '90s and the brief revival in '02-'05 yes. However, every other period of SNL sucked. This video did include The Simpsons even though that show has a rocky history, so overall, yes, SNL should have been added. "Sopranos - the first of many drama shows that really gave premium channels a boost": Agreed, though OZ was first. "Doctor Who - longest running Sci-Fi series": Agreed. Omission made more egregious by their inclusion of Star Trek. They might have cut it out because they were focusing on American television, but Doctor Who is overall influential enough to overlook that. "MTV - back in the 80s it was a big deal to see music videos on TV": That's a network and it seems they were focusing on simply TV shows. A big oversight, though, was An American Family, Excusable, but the omission of it makes the exclusion of The Real World but addition of Jersey Shore really glaring. Jersey Shore was the direct result of The Real World being successful, which was heavily influenced by An American Family. Making Jersey Show appear out of no where when every other show they've covered was scripted doesn't exactly make sense. I say this, but I really enjoyed the video lol your comment just made me realize they did omit some shows that should be there, namely Sopranos, Doctor Who and some influential (for good or for ill) reality shows.

101jir Fair enough. I only know the Addams family from the movie, not the show

[@101jir]

Crystalvampire66 Yeah, the movie wasn't that good a representation. If you get Netflix, they have it. Not sure if it is instant play or not, but I watched it from the disks.

[@Crystalvampire66]

101jir I liked the movie. There's some fond memories there. I'll check out the show when I have some time. Hopefully it's on Canadian Netflix. Which is like American Netflix but with less options.

[@101jir]

Crystalvampire66 It was okay, but other than maybe a vague introduction to the characters (in the show they aren't so much sinister as much as they are crazy) you will find the series to be practically a new experience.

Do another one of these with other big shows like MASH, Cheers, South Park, Jackass, Spongebob Squarepants, Family Guy, House, Glee, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and maybe Pokemon (it was and still is a pretty big deal for America).
