I didn't even know Garry Shandling had a show prior to the Larry Sanders Show until compiling this list

Yeah, if I never knew the show existed, it's tough to vote for its theme song.

Plus Waylon Jennings is awesome and I've met him in person.

Them good ole boys get my vote.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Duke's for the win.   Love anything Gary Shandling did though.

Splitting hairs but the Simpsons came out in 89 so technically they’re an 80’s show, 
No?

I did it more by the decade they are identified with

Yeah, it was on the Tracy Ullman Show in the very late 80s, and had a debut special for Christmas 1989, but the first regular non-special episode aired in 1990.  I definitely consider it a 90s show.

It's been on now in five different decades, and been bad in four of them

Eh, people like to bash the Simpsons, and it's certainly not what it was in seasons 1-6 or so.

But it's still better than 99.9% of anything that's on network TV.

I still have a DVR set for it, and generally watch most episodes. 99.9% is high, even with the network TV caveat. I'd say it's in the top 20% of networks sitcoms.  I'm not going to bash it, so much as to say it's just become this perpetual thing, that at this point feels like it's continuing for the sake of continuing
