Best TV shows, in rank order

1) The Sopranos
2) Arrested Development
C)  Seinfeld
4)  Twin Peaks
5)  Freaks and Geeks

Yeah, this is (by necessity) limited to the shows I have actually seen.

You don't disagree, do you?

    I have never seen The Wire (I know, I know...), Magnum P.I., Mad Men, or Nova, but agree with the other pics. I forgot about Hill Street Blues!

    I would have to go with West Wing: as I dream it should be.

    From a more parochial perspective:
    1. Cheers
    2. Cheers
    3. Cheers
    4. Cheers
    5. Cheers

    NOVA is a science show on PBS, and has been on the air for many years. I watched it as a kid, and it always brought an amazing world into our living room every time we watched it. There was a different topic every week. Arctic Penguins? African Lions? Black Holes? The show had it all, and still does!

    Craig, I am a little surprised "Hockey Night in Canada" did not make your list.

    And Medievalist… did you sell your television in 1979?

    Right … but there can be too much Don Cherry. The far better choice is any Bruins or Red Sox game on NESN (New England Sports Network) … which Norm and the boys would have been religiously watching from their bar stools in Cheers … and I do mean religiously! Further evidence that the known world is contained within the confines of 128 … the extreme limits being within 495. Beyond that there is just Detroit and the Red Wings.

    In addition to the Wire which you really should see, and the Sopranos (which you list), and limiting it to Serial Dramas Sort Of About The Work You Do, please also add:

    Fargo
    Breaking Bad
    Better Call Saul (after breaking bad)
