M*A*S*H
Mensa Says: It had smart repartee and was so much more than a comedy.
Mad About You
Mensa Says: It’s a personal favorite, I loved the characters and the back and forth. It was very smart.
All in the Family
Mensa Says: The show dealt with social issues before its time and was on the forefront of trying to show people's feelings, beliefs and the complexities of personality, in both a serious and comedic way.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Mensa Says: The way they use science to solve their programs is intriguing to viewers.
House
Mensa Says: Again, it's high level type of show; it's the personality that makes it a winner, plus it deals with science.
(RRA's Note: Hear that? Silk just marked. )
Cosmos
Mensa Says: [Carl] Sagan was able to communicate something extremely complicated to the layman and do it well, and that's unusual for a scientist at his level.
Jeopardy!
Mensa Says: It's about the only game show that really tries to test people's intelligence. There's very little luck involved, and there are few game shows like that. I don't watch it all that much honestly, but from what I've seen it tests more than knowledge, it tests intelligence too.
Boston Legal
Mensa Says: It's primarily because of the characters. The story lines are OK, but the characters are incredible and the writers give them great dialogue.
The West Wing
Mensa Says: You had to pay attention to stay up with it. The repartee was fast and furious and you needed a fairly high level intelligence to keep up with it.
Frasier
Mensa Says: The repartee was sensational; the main characters were very good. Even though they portrayed people who were likely of high intelligence, they also showed their weaknesses.
