Re: Your Top 5 TV Series of All Time?
Drama, the first 4 in no particular order.
The Sopranos
Breaking Bad
The Wire
ER
The 5th is a toss-up between Hill Street Blues and NYPD Blue. I think NYPD might have the edge, but it also had the benefit of HSB being first and changing television.
Comedy, INPO
M*A*S*H
Roseanne
All in the Family
The Simpsons
Seinfeld
The Sopranos
Breaking Bad
The Wire

Seinfeld
Fawlty Towers
The Larry Sanders Show
I know I'm not following the title of this thread, but I can't think of any other shows I love as much as these three. As great as stuff like Deadwood, I Love Lucy, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Mad Men are, they don't come near the love I have for the above three shows, which are the only shows I can't bear the idea of never seeing again.

5. Star Trek - TNG - so many great episodes, but a lot of fluff and boring crap too
4. Survivor - been a hardcore fan since season 1. Never gets old.
3. Lost - the whole package is great, the scenery, the story lines, the cliffhangers, villians etc..
2. The Shield - I hate cop shows, but this show offered such a deep conflicting morality tale and chess game.
1. Breaking Bad - every episode is masterfully crafted. I'll be enjoying this series for many years.
Honorable Mention - Pawn Stars - I can't get enough of it. I love learning some history, seeing the unusual items and the despair of sellers when they find out their valuable item is a fake. lol
