NEW YORK (AP) - You'll know television's mania for lists has gotten completely out of hand when C-SPAN counts down the 100 greatest Senate filibusters.
Maybe that moment is closer than we think. Lists have become such a popular television format that even The Weather Channel offered the "100 Biggest Weather Moments" this spring. Can "50 Toughest Conference Committee Leaders" really be far behind?
List programs are the potato chips of programming: snack food for the mind that tastes good, has virtually no nutritional value and is impossible to resist.
