The artistic director is an important kind of spiritual voice not only for the Fellows [as AFI students are called] but the faculty. Robert Wise did it for about 12

Best Written TV Shows?
4 June 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
If you haven't read the 101 Best Written Television Series list (voted on by the Writers Guild of America), chances are you've been on a wee internet break for the past 24 hours. But I kinda have been (#sorryboutit) so I've included it here for discussion purposes and with a few notes...
1. The Sopranos
2. Seinfeld
3. The Twilight Zone
5. M*A*S*H
7. Mad Men
8. Cheers
9. The Wire
10. The West Wing
Mad Men (for many years now the best show on television) has won 11 WGA nominations and 6 wins in its six year run... but what I find fascinating is when groups like the WGA vote for something they didn't originally get behind in a big way; The Wire, for example, makes their top ten all time list despite a measily 3 nominations and 1 win in its entire five year run.
91 more series after the jump »

The members of the Writers Guild of America were asked to vote online for the best written TV series in history. The organization tallied a list of 101 shows and David Chase's HBO drama, The Sopranos, came out on top.
It's worth noting that the list contains a few titles that most consider to be mini-series, not TV shows -- like Roots and I, Claudius.
For better or worse, here's the WGA's complete list. Please share your thoughts below!
1. The Sopranos
2. Seinfeld
3. The Twilight Zone (1959)
5. M*A*S*H
7. Mad Men
8. Cheers
9. The Wire
10. The West Wing
11. The Simpsons
12. I Love Lucy

WGA Selects Best-Written TV Series of All Time

With seven decades of TV shows in consideration, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has compiled a list of the 101 Best-Written TV Series of all time. So, which TV show did they anoint the best-written show ever?
After tallying the online votes from the WGA's West and East Coast members, the show selected as the No. 1 Best-Written Series was the highly acclaimed mob drama The Sopranos, created by principal writer David Chase.

"'The Sopranos' received the most votes, and no show has been more responsible for TV's storytelling renaissance, in which writers use character both as engines for commenting on the contemporary world and for teasing out the ways in which action reflects psychology in the troubled inner lives of real people," WGA wrote.
The series, starring James Gandolfini and Edie Falco, won a myriad of awards over its six-season run, most notably »

The Writers Guild of America has named "The Sopranos" the best-written TV show of all time, followed by "Seinfeld." The writers' list features only one show -- "The Twilight Zone" -- from the era considered the golden age of television, the 1950s. It came in third. The top 10 includes three shows that aired at least primarily in the '70s -- "All in the Family," "M*A*S*H" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and one from the '80s, "Cheers." The newest show on the list looks back on the '60s: "Mad Men," which premired »

‘The Sopranos’ Leads WGA List of Top TV Series
2 June 2013 11:51 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The Writers Guild of America on Sunday unveiled its list of the “101 Best Written TV Series of All Time,” topped by HBO’s “The Sopranos.”
The mob drama created by David Chase (pictured above right with “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini) led the list over such perennial faves as “Seinfeld” (which ranked No. 2), “All in the Family” (No. 4), “Mash” (No. 5) and “The Wire” (No. 9).
On the other end of the list was a three-way tie between the original NBC “Late Night with David Letterman,” FX’s “Louie” and HBO’s intense prison drama “Oz.”
The list, the results of online voting by members of the WGA West and WGA East, immediately spurred debates over the rankings and omissions. The TV tally was a follow-up to the WGA’s “101 Greatest Screenplays” member survey conducted in 2006.

‘Sopranos’ Named #1 By WGA-tv Guide: Hammond On What Series Were Snubbed
2 June 2013 9:37 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Here’s the full list of the 101 Best Written TV Shows Of All Time revealed tonight by the Writers Guild of America and their sponsor TV Guide in an event at the WGA theatre in Beverly Hills. This one seems tailored to some very short memories, or perhaps it is just designed to sell magazines for TV Guide. Voted on by the WGA membership in May 2012, this list does not have any completely disastrous embarrassments among the shows chosen. But there are a number of ridiculously shocking omissions in my opinion. In summary, the WGA membership could and should have done a lot better. It’s a slap to what many called the Golden Era of television - the 1950s and 1960s – because only a single show from that era, Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone (1959), was deemed worthy enough to make the top 10. The rest of the top 10 were »

Book Excerpt: Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted
30 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Treva Silverman is an Emmy winning television writer known for her work on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. You can find more information on Mary and Lou and Rhoda and Ted here and here. Excerpt from Mary And Lou And Rhoda And Ted by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong Introduction: Comedy and the Single Girl Treva Silverman had always wanted to be the beautiful, funny, smart heroine of a 1930s screwball comedy. In that world, the woman bantered with the man; the woman was independent, sexy, desirable, witty. Idiosyncratic actresses like Jean Arthur, Carole Lombard, Rosalind Russell, Claudette Colbert, and Margaret Sullavan were the leading ladies there. Unfortunately, in the 1950s, when Treva was a twelve-year-old in Cedarhurst, Long Island--the time when this desire took hold of her--the movie world had moved on from fast-talking comediennes to man-pleasing models of femininity like Doris Day, who seemed to have endless hang-ups about being good and pure, »

Interview: Bruce Boxleitner at 2013 C2E2 Talks Career, New TV Series
27 April 2013 2:50 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) is happening in the Windy City over the weekend of April 26th-28th, with special guests, seminars, autograph booths and vendors covering the huge floors of the McCormick Place Convention Center.

Hadley Freeman's 10 awesome women: from Katharine Hepburn to Miss Piggy
23 April 2013 3:16 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
They're funny and passionate. One of them can even rock a pastel pantsuit. Hadley Freeman hails her female heroes whose accomplishments deserve some serious respect
These days, White is mainly known for two things: 1. Being old, and 2. Being funny about it. But there is so much more to her than geriatric self-mockery. Aside from her brilliant performances on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, White was one of the first women to take control of her own acting career by co-founding a TV production company in the 1950s. She was also nominated for the first best-actress Emmy in 1950, and her book about this period of her life, Here We Go Again: My Life in Television, is as funny as it is inspirational. Still sharp as a tack in her 10th decade, she is not only a hilarious actor but a hysterical off-the-cuff guest on American talk shows, »

The Most Adorable Thing You'll See Today
9 April 2013 6:41 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" theme song has never sounded as adorable as it did when Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Georgia Engel, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick, Valerie Bertinelli and Betty White sang it with Katie Couric.
Couric was on the set of "Hot In Cleveland" for the TV Land sitcom's "Mary Tyler Moore" reunion and chatted with the stars about everything from aging to Valerie Harper's terminal cancer.
The "Katie" interview ended with an off-key -- yet still wonderful -- rendition of the famous sitcom theme song.
For more adorableness, tune in for "Hot In Cleveland's" "Mary Tyler Moore Show" reunion episode, which is set to air in September.
"Katie" airs weekdays, 3 p.m. Et on ABC.

Deadline thinks that The Carrie Diaries has a decent shot at renewal thanks to online viewership, hoping that Carrie will mirror Heart of Dixie's performance, which was able to turn streaming viewers into improved ratings in the second season. Carrie may be starting to get on my nerves the way her adult self did, but it would be a shame to lose Walt so soon. Meanwhile, the ratings challenged Nikita is likely get a final season to wrap its storylines.
Don't expect a third season of The Glee Project this summer.

The Carrie Diaries wraps its first season with brunch.
ABC's S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot (now titled Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so that fanboys can start asking when does Kitty Pride show up) has turned into an Angel reunion with J. August Richards joining the cast in an undisclosed role.
CNN is reviving Crossfire because, at this point, the show Jon Stewart once described as "hurting America" and James Earl Jones' voice is all CNN has left.
Shonda Rhimes gets a lot of praise for the racial diversity in her shows, but there's another admirable trend in her work, all of her shows have included adoptive parents.
EW reports that American Dad is planning an episode where Stan and Francine team up with a quartet of Charlie's Angels-style flight attendants played by Becki Newton, Thandie Newton, CSI: Miami's Megalyn Echikunwoke and Gillian Jacobs. »
