So, you know, when I was growing up, super quick backstory. Growing up, I had my two older brothers. And then there was a woman who we always called our sister, who I grew up across the street from me, babysat me from like the day I was born, still in our lives. So she's my sister. Her name is Jerry. And she likes to send stuff she finds if it has any sort of relation to Boy Meets World.

187.153 - 201.545 Dr. Forbes Riley

I wouldn't know how to get on it or any of that kind of stuff. So she sent me from the original TV Archive Facebook group. I guess they put together the most popular, 50 most popular sitcoms of all time.

201.565 - 208.574 Will Friedle

Oh, well, this is obviously, this is Bible. It's real. This is real. This is real. This is basically like, this is science.

0

208.594 - 229.255 Dr. Forbes Riley

This is like an AP poll conducted. This is very important. I'm curious if, A, if you think we made the list. B, if we did where we are. Okay, great question. And see what then the top 10 are and if you can get as close to order in order of what they say.

0

229.355 - 230.917 Unknown

Oh my gosh, I'll never be able to do order.

230.997 - 231.657 Unknown

Oh no, no.

0

231.677 - 244.408 Dr. Forbes Riley

I mean, first question first, are we on the list? Okay, hold on, hold on. My actual, because I wish we could do this to you because I feel like you would be the one that would actually stand a chance at getting this perfect. I disagree with this list so hard.

245.229 - 247.671 Unknown

Well, that's a hint. That's a huge hint actually.

247.691 - 270.56 Dr. Forbes Riley

So MASH did not make the top 10. I would say, let me see, I'm writing this down because I want to keep track. Okay, I would say, obviously, if it's a crowd-pleasing list of people, when was this produced? This was on, I got it yesterday. Oh my gosh, writers starting an Excel sheet. Because I was thinking it was, I think if it was like, I'm writing this down.

271.161 - 273.143 Dr. Forbes Riley

The way you said it, it was 20 hours ago.

Chapter 6: How does Dr. Riley's personal story influence her professional success?

273.183 - 289.171 Dr. Forbes Riley

It said 20 hours ago and I got it yesterday. So figure 48 hours ago, this went up. Okay, so. For some reason, the way you said it was like the Internet Archive, or what did you say? Facebook TV Archive? It's called the Original TV Archive Facebook Group. Okay, so I was thinking it was like from the early aughts or something. The TOGAFG, as I like to call it.

0

289.191 - 293.119 Dr. Forbes Riley

Okay, well, I think Friends and Seinfeld are competing for first place, probably.

0

294.112 - 301.845 Will Friedle

You want to start with the top 10 as opposed to... Out of the top 50 best sitcoms of all time, did we make the list?

0

302.827 - 306.693 Dr. Forbes Riley

Yes, we made the list and we are in somewhere between 25 and 35.

0

306.733 - 311.361 Will Friedle

Oh, I say yes, we made the list and I think we are 47.

All right.

320.882 - 339.103 Dr. Forbes Riley

Okay. So now the top 10 that they gave it. Ryder, you think Friends and Seinfeld are competing for one and two? Yeah. Yeah. I think Friends and Seinfeld are competing for one and two. I think probably All in the Family is going to be in the top five. I would say, oh, shoot. I Love Lucy. Sorry. I Love Lucy is top, top three.

339.488 - 344.196 Will Friedle

Okay, can I say something that I think is going to bring the whole room down?

344.456 - 351.568 Dr. Forbes Riley

You hate TV and movies and anything fun. No, I don't like television. I don't. I don't with television.

373.473 - 376.498 Dr. Forbes Riley

Ah, Tony Danza. Taxi's got to be up there.

378.622 - 393.241 Will Friedle

Giving him different shows by doing different... I think Ryder still thinks of Facebook as being his parents' generation. Yeah. But what is actually happening is that Facebook is actually us now.

393.822 - 403.074 Dr. Forbes Riley

It's our generation and maybe just a little bit older than us. So I actually... So you don't think older shows are making it at all?

403.274 - 406.198 Will Friedle

I think Parks and Rec are probably...

406.178 - 411.665 Dr. Forbes Riley

Oh, yeah. Well, is that considered a sitcom? No, that's not going to be a sitcom. No, if that is, then we're, yeah, because the office would be.
