I love the UK office, but it had 12 episodes. I would not consider it an all time great.

Da Ali G show fall under the same category for me.

Ye the Mona Lisa is like one foot by two feet and people call it a master piece what’s up with that? If a picture isn’t at least 6 by 10 it can’t make my list.
Booth shows you mention ran for two series. Id say two series of tightly written funny shows beats several series where the episodes are of variable quality.

Horrible analogy.
If you compared the 12 best episodes of the Simpsons, South Park, Seinfeld, etc. To The Office most people would consider the first three to be better.

Most people have bad taste, then.

Anyway, contrary to your post it's easy to get 12 great episodes out of 100+. To make 12 and only 12 episodes that are consistently brilliant is a much greater feat.
