Better list would look like this: 1) The Wire- no question about this one, most intelligent, gritty series ever seen on TV 2) Seinfeld- best sitcom ever 3) Sopranos- changed television, there is simply TV before Sopranos and TV after Sopranos 4) Simpsons- (first 10 seasons) Singlehandely built an entire network by itself 5) All in the Family- my Dad’s favorite show ever, still funny on viewings even 40yrs later, Archie Bunker is probably the greatest TV character ever 6) SNL- no show has ever created more stars 7) Law & Order- (the original) 8) Tie – Cheers and M.A.S.H 9) Chapelle’s Show- shortlived, but my list of favorites will always include this show, first 2 seasons were absolute genius 10) Jeopardy!- greatest gameshow ever Honorable mention: Deadwood(simply for the character of Al Swearingen), Arrested Development, I Love Lucy, Twilight Zone, Dexter, Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica (much better and smarter than Buffy) Carol Burnett Show Not a bad list, but everything on here is very recent, and I always thought Six Feet Under was very overrated.

Lost is definitely among the top two or three shows ever made. Thanks for introducing me to Six Feet Under - I will definitely be buying it on DVD.

I think that you are forgetting one show that has changed TV since its first airing. The show started its own genre which now dominates every single network. COPS was the first reality TV show and its aired for over 20 years and still going strong. How many of these other shows can say the same? I am happy that Seinfeld and Monty Python is on the list.

I've never seen "The Wire" (either it doesn't air on HBO Canada, or I've just never been watching tv when it airs), but judging from the comments, I'm now curious to see it. Sopranos...I might put in my vote for it, if I'd seen more than a handful of episodes. From what I saw it looked great; I just didn't watch enough of it to form a full opinion. (Same thing with True Blood and Entourage...I hear that they are great shows, but haven't really seen any more than an episode or two of both.) As for top shows, here's my personal list: 10. Dallas (sappy soap, but I still love watching reruns) 9. Star Trek: The Next Generation 8. The Simpsons 7. Frasier 6. Friends 5. Weeds 4. Breaking Bad 3. Dexter 2. Six Feet Under 1. X-Files I agree totally with the review of Six Feet Under (and it's even worth it to watch the entire series just to see the final moments of the final episode...best ending for a series, ever). The only reason I put X-Files ahead of it on my list is because X-Files is a bit more the genre I would tend to watch...but Six Feet Under...superb writing and acting, absolutely. A gem.

I'd also put BSG and Twin Peaks in that list. Putting a number before is kind of useless imho, as all these shows have so different flavors. Cheers Stunned that no one mentionned Oz.

Seinfeld is a great show. But it just entertains us, so many shows are just shows that take our minds out of everyday life. I still watch Seinfeld episodes today and i love it. But it doesn't hold a candle to The Wire. The Wire is the greatest show of all time. 50 years from now, when people look back and see where we went wrong, all you have to do is look at The Wire. Season 4 is the perfect example of this. I admit that i have never seen Six Feet Under (and i plan to). But i have a hard time believing that it will top The Wire. Sopranos is about one family, The Wire is about an entire city and the people who manage it. Each season delves into another world, from the politicians to the education system and everything in between. It's not even a cop show and Time magazine said it was "the most realistic cop show of all time." That's probably because the creator was a crime reporter for the Baltimore Sun and his writer was a homicide detective at the Baltimore Police Department for more then 20 years and became disillusioned with the bureaucracy of the department. It's a story of Baltimore but it can be a story of any city. Do the right thing. The Wire is #1 forever. The Wire is without question the best show of all time. Seinfeld is a great show.
