2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Hey, don't knock Buffy the Vampire Slayer That.....is.....BRILLIANT! Whedon got to be King of the Big Budget Movie for a reason. Angel was good too, especially the episode where they go to that bizarro world where humans are slaves and meet the Groosalugg! Lorne was my favorite character.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Star Trek (FRANCHISE) South Park The Simpsons Twilight Zone Sesame Street Techie Nerd! Two cartoons, one tickle-me Elmo, and two sci-fi shows... Had to, you just HAD to include that (capitalization in your post). ;-) Still: Kirk>Picard And yes I do blame tech, Sesame Street, & cartoons for your geneneration's attention-deficit problems... Hey wait! You are so close to being my generation... GenX... What am I laughing at! Oh... I am a Luddite. I don't have favorite shows. We didn't have color TV till I was 10. My wife, she was shocked to find out that Grover was blue when her family got their first color TV @ 17. :-) :-P
DrW Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 The Prisoner Red Dwarf Monty Python's Flying Circus Ab Fab (Absolutely Fabulous) Urmel aus dem Eis ("Urmel from the ice") - a German TV puppet show from around 1969 about a baby dinosaur that had survived the dinosaur extinction by being frozen in a glacier OK, all of the above shows are European, although I watched most of them after coming to the US a long time ago. Restricting it to US TV offerings: Law & Order (the original) How It's Made (OK, it is mostly Canadian) Hank of the Hill (I live in Texas now for nearly 15 years) Earth 2 (I know, in the end the story did not go anywhere, but I still remember many of the scenes) The Man in the High Castle
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 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. just never got into mad men. 24 legacy is a shell of the real 24 but I still watch it for old times sake.

Hurricane Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Narcos season 1 = meh Narcos season 2 = hot fire. Needs more sample size to enter. I do love that song though. Rescue me would make my top 10 for sure. Leary rules. Absolutely... 1 Sons Of Anarchy 2 Rescue Me 3 Sopranos 4 Deadliest Catch 5 Nip Tuck
Deranged Rhino Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Top 5 TV shows of all time?? A great (and impossible) topic. KD has a point, half hour comedies and hour long dramas have little in common and probably should be their own categories. I'm almost tempted to say the same about cable and network shows because those are different beasts as well. Tom also had a point about how much to weigh the historical impact of a show... and there's also the issue of how to classify a show which had a couple great seasons but ended poorly. I'll have to think on it a bit more before committing my list to digital ink. But I'm surprised it's been 4 pages and there hasn't been a single Arrested Development mention -- but conversely, I'm glad MST3K is getting so much love.

Hearing positive things though. By the way, you suppose there is beer on the sun?
Wooderson Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Can't believe I forgot 24. Totally belongs in my top 5 beating out Parks and Rec.

Hurricane Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 After looking through the previous pages, i need to watch Breaking Bad.. Have never seen it..
RaoulDuke79 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 After looking through the previous pages, i need to watch Breaking Bad.. Have never seen it.. I watched it a year or so after it ended. Definitely worth a look. I didn't buy into the hype at first, but I should have.
BUFFALOKIE Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 After looking through the previous pages, i need to watch Breaking Bad.. Have never seen it.. Where have you been man? Be careful. S1E6 is when I got hooked.
Wooderson Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 After looking through the previous pages, i need to watch Breaking Bad.. Have never seen it.. Seriously. Do it as soon as possible. It took a few episodes for me to totally get into it, but then I got hooked. I watched it a year or so after it ended. Definitely worth a look. I didn't buy into the hype at first, but I should have. I binged it last year. Like you said, I didn't trust the hype while it was on air but after seeing it, it definitely lived up to it and surpassed it.

But I'm surprised it's been 4 pages and there hasn't been a single Arrested Development mention -- but conversely, I'm glad MST3K is getting so much love. A lot of good points here. I only went with hour long dramas with continuous storylines, but if I were to include 30 minute shows South Park would be near the top of the list. Dexter didn't make my list despite season 1 & 2 rivaling any show I've seen. But the fall off, particularly in the last two seasons, took it off the list. Similarly, Sons of Anarchy had its moments, but the fall off as well as the extent to which it relied on "torture porn" kept it out of the top tier for me. The Sopranos gets a lot of credit for blazing the trail, and it was a good show, but having watched the full series for the first time last year I didn't think it lived up to the hype.
