Not sure I could come up with a solid 5. There are plenty in here that I loved though. So I'll simply add my #1 favorite that hasn't been mentioned:

Quantum Leap

Breaking Bad

Columbo

Game of Thrones

Deadwood

Buffy

In terms of the Wire I get it being rated so high, but truth be told I did not really enjoy it much.

Columbo is actually the one I enjoy the most and may favorite show of all time, but Breaking Bad is easily the best show ever in my opinion. It is incredibly well written, well acted, and way more memorable and is great even of rewatches. I would never want to watch The Wire again.

Honorable Mention: (if the top 5 had more than 5 spots)

Boston Legal
The West Wing
The Good Wife
Evil
Crap, I forgot about Star Trek. Star Trek TNG would definitely be in my top five.
