Mad Men

Breaking Bad

House of Cards

Downton Abbey

 

South Park

Seinfeld

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Beavis & Butthead

Simpsons Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour (pre-PC era)

24

The Strain

Prison Break (and its coming back in April :w00t::w00t: )

Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul

12 Monkeys

 

honorable mention: Fargo, Vikings, Pawn Stars, Gotham, Blacklist, Blindspot, Rogue, Falling Skies, Grimm, Oak Island, Americans, Sleepy Hollow, American Ninja Warrior, Homeland, the Killings,

 

Rubicon- was the super brainiac version of 24, had to watch every minute of it or you would miss something, no multi-tasking on the computer here. SOOOO pissed they cancelled it after one season, its downfall was it had NO action and relied too much on brain power. If they show just a touch of action it would have one of the best ever. Still mad about it :angry::angry:

 

New Shows: Incorporated, Legion, Colony, Taboo, Shades of Blue, Bette and Joan


As a derivative of the what to watch thread, what is everyone's top 5 series of all time ?

I've got

1. Mad Men. (Although less divorced Betty, More Roger Sterling would have been solid)
2. The Wire. (I have a Jameson's or 3 in Baltimore for Mcnulty and Bunk often)
3. Justified ( Boyd Crowder, Wynn Duffy, Mags Bennett best Villains in the game, https://www.google.com/amp/uproxx.com/tv/from-crowe-to-crowder-the-definitive-ranking-of-justified-villains/amp)
4. Curb your Enthusiasm (Larry and Leon forever)
5. Fargo. (Two separate seasons, nothing but intrigue)

Others receiving votes --- Game of Thrones, Friday Night Lights, The Sopranos, True Detective, Pillars of the Earth

 

never heard of the wire


1. True Detective (season 1)
2. The Sopranos
3. Breaking Bad
4. Game of Thrones
5. The Wire

 

True detective season one was fantastic, totally ruined season two, how did they screw up a good show ??


1. Mad Men (yes the BEST things in life are freeeee)
2. 24
3. Star Trek (original series)
4. The Twilight Zone
5. House of Cards

Honorable mentions to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Louie

Lately been watching Legion which is really freakin cool and different from other super hero stuff, Taboo and People of Earth

 

:thumbsup::thumbsup:


I can't believe there is not one mention of The Walking Dead. I just couldn't get into the whole zombie thing but it seems popular.

Love it! I don't know how they can keep it this cool for multiple seasons but that show kicks ass. Taboo rocks too.

 

Incorporated is cool too, a lot of good ideas though I feel like it has potential to be even better than its been so far. The guy's doctor wife is a fox.

 

24 is legendary, I can't bring myself to watch the new one for some reason. You may like Mad Men. Shockingly good storytelling and characters that breathe.

Seinfeld

Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul

Game of Thrones

The Walking Dead

Cheers

 

Yes, three (four) of those are recent/current shows, but that's because TV has gotten so much better. Seinfeld is still relevant today, if you can allow yourself to forget about cell phones and the internet. Cheers was just amazing back in the day.

2) Battlestar Galactica (recent)

3) Everwood

4) Southpark

What in tarnation ? Couldn't get down with Mad Men or Justified but Buffy the Vampire Slayer does it for you ?

 

Different strokes for different folks.

The Wire

Fargo

Battlestar Galactica

Peaky Blinders

Deadwood

I just made it to Tommy Shelbys wedding in peaky blinders. It's getting good.

 

Al Swerigen in deadwood is a hall of famer for sure.

Surprised Scrubs took so long to make an appearance. Love that Earl got some mentions. I'll throw Psych in the mix.

 

Psych has always been underappreciated IMO. Especially when it was running, it never got the hype it deserved. Really good show.
