going with Breaking Bad...

buckeyes8604

Has to be The Wire. I've rewatched it a few times and it just gets better.

Breaking Bad is a good choice too, definitely Top 5 on my list.

Groucho

Almost any list I've seen of "Best TV Shows Ever" is topped by post-2000 shows.

For example, the top 10 imdb rated shows are:

1. Planet Earth II (2016) 9.5
2. Band of Brothers (2001) 9.5
3. Planet Earth (2006) 9.5
4. Game of Thrones (2011) 9.4
5. Breaking Bad (2008) 9.4
6. The Wire (2002) 9.3
7. Rick and Morty (2013) 9.3
8. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014) 9.3
9. Cosmos (1980) 9.2
10. The World at War (1973) 9.2

Michael Corvin

No love for Lost? I guess that's what happens when you go from the biggest show on the planet to shitting the bed.

Sonny Corinthos

This gets my vote.

Noonan

The Wire, for sure. BB was great but can't compare IMO.

stvn1974

My favorite is Fringe.

Gunde

Best: The Wire (Breaking Bad second)
My Favorite: The Shield

Under The Dome

I don't think that list is really accurate. The Tyson version of Cosmos can't compare to the original. And Rick and Morty the seventh best show of all time? Seriously? It's fun, but ultimately forgettable.

Nah, R&M is definitely an all-time best TV show, and "forgettable" is the last thing it is.

It's seriously one of the smartest television shows ever written, obscured by how equally silly it can be, which is what makes it so brilliant.

I'd put Mad Men and Justified up there as well, since both shows were brilliant for their entire run, and never really stumbled.

The Sopranos is still my favorite tv since the turn of the century (it started in 1999). Even though I still hate the ending, it still had a great run that was always water cooler talk on Monday at work. The most underrated aspect of the show was that it was so funny despite being a drama. The one liners were so memorable, "I got these Feds so far up my ass I can taste brill cream!"

I'm tossed between The Sopranos and Breaking Bad.

Honorable mention to Deadwood, but as it didn't run its course, it's not up for consideration. Mad Men, too, but it's just below The Sopranos and BB.

Mad Men was good but I don't think it was consistent enough to be considered an all time great. It tapered off in quality the last couple seasons.

I'd say Breaking Bad and if others are counting it I'll say The Sopranos too. Most of it took place after 2000 so I think it's fair. Also I'll say season one of True Detective. Since it's seasons aren't connected I think it's fair to judge them individually and it was great tv.

Fist of Doom

Six Feet Under for me.

I have to give a shout out to Nikita and Psych, though!

Ash Ketchum

Samurai Champloo:


Toward the Terra:


Phoenix (Hi No Tori):


The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya:

The Questyen

Game of Thrones easily.

Why So Blu?

The Wire

bluetoast

The Shield.

Mike86

Totally forgot Six Feet Under. That is indeed a great one.

The Questyen

I got bored so here's my top ten:

1. Game of Thrones
2. The Office (UK)
3. Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
4. Curb Your Enthusiasm
5. Deadwood
6. 30 Rock
7. Louie
8. The Leftovers
9. Downton Abbey
10. Justified

Gunde

Justified stumbled plenty. Most notably in season 5 AKA "The worst casting decision in history" starring Michael Rapaport.
