We have to determine for ourselves what we want to see on a Mount Rushmore. That's why I include an estimate of "impressions," measuring how many people saw the original show. Generously, I'd say it had a little more than half of My Sister Sam's when you include the Fox run.

It's tough balancing popularity, quality, impact, innovation and importance in making these assessments. I just don't think Shandling had enough views to consider including.

The Brady Bunch overcame that lack of views in reruns, and probably scores very high in impact and importance even though it wasn't all that high in quality, either. These things are hard to measure, which is why I thought this would be an interesting exercise in the first place.
