Top 10 TV Shows of All Time

[Cougar Bait]

I searched and there was a thread by Muddy with just his opinion on the top 2 shows, but I thought this deserved it's own thread, and would like to see what others come up with.

1. Breaking Bad (has 1 bad episode in the entire series)
2. The Sopranos
3. Ozark
4. Black Mirror
5. Seinfeld
6. Mad Men
7. Game of Thrones
8. Dexter
9. Curb Your Enthusiasm
10. Six Feet Under

I've never watched The Wire or The Office, although they constantly get recommended to me.

Sadly there's no chance Dexter is on there.

If we are talking highest highs, sure. Seasons 1 2 and 4 were some incredible television. But 5-8 😬.

Have been seeing clips of the new one out now though and may dive back in haha

Dexter is a show in my opinion that started out with top 10 potential but Jeesh did it jump the shark

I could’ve sworn I did one of these lol

I have 5 of your ten in my list. Sopranos #1 and Breaking Bad 2.

Ozark I loved but 3 seems high IMO. Curb is definitely top 10. Surprised no love for any shows pre 1990

You gonna have to decide what to bump for the wire once you watch it.

Can't quibble to much with these things. So subjective. I wonder if a well rounded list takes into account a shows impact on television? Survivor comes to mind.

 

[Matty]

1a. The Wire
1b. The Sopranos
3. Breaking Bad
4. Mad Men
5. Better Call Saul
6. Black Mirror
7. Band of Brothers + The Pacific
8. Seinfeld (top network sitcom by far)
9. Halt and Catch Fire
10. Game of Thrones Seasons 1 to 6 (would be higher if not for seasons 7 and 8)

 

[Boner_18]

In no particular order

The Wire
The Sopranos
Seinfeld
Arrested Development
Jeopardy
Band of Brothers
South Park
Mr Rogers Neighborhood
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Survivor

Honorable mention to SNL.

Forgot about Star Trek TNG
Good one Boner

Ozark is almost flawless IMO
Dexter has some holes, just loved the main character and how the show evolved (haven't watched the newest one)

I clearly have a soft spot for Michael C. Hall and Larry David

 

[Matty]

Forgot about Narcos, both of them were top notch. May have to rejig my list

 

[Boner_18]

Forgot about Star Trek TNG

Brought this concept up to wife and we decided TNG was the best of all the Star Trek series for the purpose of this list.

I have to say its all nostalgia and rewatchability. Its very clearly hack writing, mostly C+ acting and run down set design. But all in the best possible way?

I don't disagree at all. Rewatched some episodes a few years back. I enjoyed it. I'm not sure it's great TV by today's standards. I feel it would easily make a top 20 for me.

Breaking Bad


Better call Saul


Sopranos


Narcos


Narcos Mexico


Ozark


Mad Men


Suits


Cheers


Frasier

This list so far is closest to mine

 

[CASPERWAIT$]

1. Sopranos (changed TV)
2. Breaking Bad (the only episode w the fly sucked)
3. The Wire (gritty has never been felt on TV like this)
4. Mad Men (brings you into that era flawlessly)
5. Cobra Kai (yes…it’s just perfect sentimental fluff that was WAY better than it needed to be)
6. Game Of Thrones (Last season hurt the ranking)
7. Friday Night Lights (best sports related TV show ever)
8. Frasier (better than Cheers in its totality)
9. Bojack Horseman (best animated show ever)
10. Dallas (the best soap opera of all time and it lasted 343 episodes!)

 

[Cougar Bait]

Top 4 you nailed
(I'm assuming The Wire is good, never watched)

And nailed the only bad episode of Breaking Bad
