Everybody loves Raman or my name is earl

The most seminal show was All in the Family. Norman Lears crown jewel that spawned many other shows such as Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Maude for a few. It made the 70s seem like a new era of attitudes particularly towards racism. We could use something like that now!

From a broad perspective, it's probably Simpsons. Not just in reach and popularity, but specifically mentioned by a US president as badly influencing the US public. In a lot of ways, you can trace a lot of the current dysfunction of the US back to cultural norms proposed by that show

It's hard not to say Twilight Zone or Sopranos. I think there are several that stand at the very top. They're that good.
