The Twilight Zone Excluded

Hey Everyone,

I just read this list of the top shows of the 1950s. The Twilight Zone wasn't even included even though at least one other show that started in 1959 was. Here's my comment:

This list is a travesty. Certainly I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners should be on the list and near the top. Yet, one of the best and most innovative shows in television history doesn't even make the top 40 while plenty of bland and mediocre shows did. The Untouchables was a good show and made the list even though it's only season in the 50s was 1959. If it only takes one season in the 50s to qualify then one of television's greatest shows, a show which debuted in 1959, should be here too. I'm talking about The Twilight Zone.

Please check out the link and complain about The Twilight Zone's exclusion.
