TV's Greatest Icons List

I think #3 Belongs somewhere further down the list .
I mean c'mon before Jackie Gleason and Ed Sullivan ?

I agree with you there.

The list is a joke --- probably made up by 20 somethings.

No Phil Silvers...

What a freak'in joke.

I definately agree with you too!!!!!!

I got the EW issue Saturday, and it seems most everyone that should be on the list is there in the 100, but the ranking is incredibly off. Calista Flockhart? She's best remembered for being malnourished. Farah shouldn't have even made it. They gave it to her for her hair. Beyond 1 season of Charlie's Angels and "The Burning Bed", what has she done for TV?

And where the heck is George Reeves? Adventures of Superman is one of the few 1950s shows that has lasted into syndication and cable. And there was enough interest in George to warrant "Hollywoodland" being made. I honestly think George should have been on the list, even above Adam West.

I agree. Yeah, you could argue some people should have made the list and others shouldn't be on there.

The biggest problem seems to be the rankings.

I was unclear whether this list was touting characters or actors. For instance, Homer Simpson was there, Kermit the frog was there, but most of the rest were actors.

Which brings me to the Star Trek choice, if it was chosen for the all round icon from TV, Shatner does win but if we are talking about the icon that represents Star Trek as a TV icon, well, that is Mr. Spock.

But the list was an overall joke though. I can't believe some of what got on there and some of what was left off.
