I haven't watched that many television shows all the way through. But The Wire, Breaking Bad, and The Shield are all excellent shows. The Walking Dead is pretty good, too - Although it hasn't finished its run yet and thus can't be properly judged as a whole.

I will give my top 5

1. Scrubs - All time favorite
2. Community
3. Fringe
4. Supernaturals
5. Lucifer

My top ten would be:

1. - Breaking Bad
2. - 24
3. - Friends
4. - Lost
5. - Curb Your Enthusiasm
6. - The Office (both UK and US)
7. - Sex and the City then:
8. - Better Call Saul
9. - Game Of Thrones
10. - The Walking Dead

Not nec in this order:

1. 1.Breaking Bad
2. 2.Lost
3. 3.Star Trek TOS
4. 4.Three's Company
5. 5.Cheers
6. 6.The Good Wife
7. 7.Firefly
8. 8.Loony Tunes
9. 9.Twilight Zone
10. 10.MASH

List made hastily. I surely forgot something. Didn't include tons of shows I love but maybe not "greatest of all time" like Justified, The Americans, Babylon 5, 24, Game of Thrones, Daredevil, etc

I'm not a big fan of TV... but here are my favourite shows... in no particular order

• Olive Kitteridge (it's a mini-series)
• Mad Men (would probably be stronger if they lost a few of the latter seasons. Weak finale)
• The Twilight Zone
• Black Mirror
• Seinfeld
• Alfred Hitcock Presents

I highly recommend checking out Olive Kitteridge. It's more like a four hour movie that has been split into episodes than a traditional American series... It blows Game of Thrones such out of the water in the way it shows how you can adapt a novel to the screen and take advantage of the TV series format without turning it into just another TV show... It's not a light story, but it's so good.

Also, incredible acting by Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins... Really another league compared to what is on HBO/Netflix, etc.. nowadays... So nuanced, complex, authentic and at times powerful.

As you can see, I'm not a big fan of the series format, but I like anthologies and I think the mini-series (6 episodes or loss) format has yet to reach it's full potential, especially when it comes to adapting novels.

Nip tuck, sons of anarchy, mad Men, Spartacus,.

I'm just adding ones not on your list yet that are worth watching.

Nothing came close to Six Feet Under until Breaking Bad:

Six Feet Under Breaking Bad Sopranos Walking Dead

I've only watched through Season 6 of Walking Dead. The last two seasons have fallen off a bit; if I'd rated it only through Season 3, it would be above the Sopranos. We'll see what happens when I get caught up.

I've heard nothing but good things about The Wire, so I'll see about binge-watching that one next.

By what criteria are we measuring "greatest tv shows of all time"?

If you want to discuss "your favourite" shows, have at it; but "greatest" must have some more objective measure.

All in the Family (AITF)changed television; whether it's anyone's favourite or not is immaterial. What it did to TV, how it positioned the TV as a catalyst for social conversation, was trailblazing. Yes, it wasn't the only one (Star Trek was another, and there were others), but it established the concept and ushered forward an entire format to TV.

The anti-thesis to AITF was not Married...with Children (MwC). Yes, it's working title before finally settling on that title was "Not The Cosbys"...yet, MwC was still focused on a family, and there certainly were codes of morality through it all. Be that as it may, MwC took a populist approach, representing and giving voice to all the families out there who did not fit the perfect family model championed by the 80s' big three Family Ties, The Cosby Show, Growing Pains. And, the times were ripe for this new model; we also got The Simpsons at this time.

No, the code of AITF was dismissed with Seinfeld, who wanted a show that deliberately had "no hugging, no learning." Seinfeld was determined not to be a show that lectured, or finger-wagged, or pushed some moral agenda, or attempted to help parents raise kids. It was devoid of social activism, and more concerned with social observation for entertainment's sake.

And, sure, I'll agree, perhaps I've just listed examples that may be better added to a list of "the most important" shows...not necessarily "the greatest" shows. Bringing me back, again, to the question, what's the criteria for "the greatest"? (hope it's not viewership, that'd be for yet another distinct list, the "most popular shows" list. Oy vey).

-Walking Dead, take that off your favorites list.

Add: St. John of Las Vegas (Movie)... I like the scene when he buys scratch off tickets.

Happy Holidays.. touch early but this post will be here awhile...

Haha... No, I can't take it off quite yet. Yes, I've been disappointed here and there by the show. However, believe it or not, I've binge-watched the entire series in the last 6 months, only recently getting caught up. So the "new" glow is still on me. Whenever I'd gotten annoyed by dumb decisions or illogical sequences in those first months, I didn't have to sulk for long -- because the next episode was a click away!

I'm feeling it now, though. Having to wait between episodes forces me to think about the things that don't make sense. Who knows, maybe someday I'll have to take off my favorites list. But not yet. Happy Holidays!
