The top 20 TV shows of all time IMO

This.

might be the best thing I've ever seen on TV. The roof cleaning scene. The puppy scene. the old lady and the cow. the guys going to the basement to clean the pumps. EPIC. Although does it having only 5 episodes count it out. If not its no. 1.

Surprised the West wing doesn't get any love here. especially the first four seasons when Sorkin was writing it.
Frasier too. Damn it was funny.

1. The Wire.
2. West Wing.
3. Sopranos
4. Breaking Bad.
5. House of Cards (BBC version)
6. The Bridge (Danish/Swedish Version)
7. Father Ted.
8. Fawlty Towers
9. Band of Brothers (again limited run)
10. Frasier

 

I personally more of movie guy. I was turned off with all the crappy stuff in the 80's. I do watch some and I know that TV shows are better made and written now but I still lose interest after a couple of episodes. Still like watching some of the 70's comedies and Cheers. For what it is worth my list.
1. Monty Python
2.The Sopranos
3.Fawlty Towers
4.Mystery Science Theater 3000
5.Braking Bad
6.Seinfeld
7.Red Dwarf
8.Mary Tyler Moore Show
9.Taxi
10.Barney Miller
11.Emergency
12.Cheers
13. The Office(the British one though I do like the first 4 seasons of the US one.)
14.Fargo
15.The Game of Thrones (the first 4 season are amazing but then started to go down hill)
For mini series the Band of Brothers is incredible.
