100 greatest TV shows of all time

Very subjective topic. Many I have never seen; others I don't agree with, but here it is according to Rolling Stone:

http://www.rollingstone.com/tv/lists/100-greatest-tv-shows-of-all-time-w439520

 

I agree Joe. "Greatest" is subjective.

I only agreed with 13 on the list.

 

I don't put much stock in anything RS has written in the last few years...
not after they put up boston bomber on the cover

 

All of my faves are on the list but, IMO, the order is way off on a lot of them. Still, these lists are fun and always stir up a good conversation.

 

Whenever I see lists like this, I really wish they would limit the "best of" or "greatest" to genre or category. Its just too hard to compare different types of shows. I would argue that Frontline has consistently been the best quality TV show for a couple decades now. But since its not a TV drama or sitcom, it would never make this kind of list.

 

My favorites:
1) LOST
2) The Dukes of Hazzard
3) CHiPs
4) Bosom Buddies
5) Golden Girls

Any list that has the golden girls and the jeffersons in the top 100 was really reaching to fill a list.

 

Lots of great shows.

Since we are all so different, there are of course some shows we would never watch, and some I love that others would never watch. Overall, a cool list.

And of course, if you do not have HBO - you never watched #1. LOL!

 

Hard to disagree with the top three....for sure. I'd have Breaking Bad #1, sorry Breeze , over the other two because that show almost impossibly got better and better each season.

 

Recalculated:

If you sit and do the meth, Breaking Bad has to be #1.

 

yep, very subjective, but i was thrilled to see Mad Men in the top 10. I loved that show (even though the last season sucked)

 

I tried watching "Mad Men"..........god, was that boring !....Evening Soap Opera that's all.
Gary Sanders Show was very good.
Letterman was my favorite late show guy --- but to rank it that high ?.....he lost ratings all the time.
I've NEVER seen Breaking Bad.......I think I watched a minute, once ?
Sopranos........well you knew it would be up at the top....
Same with Seinfeld.

 

Hard to pick an order, the top three should be tied for first.

What, no Dexter?

No Weeds, either.

 

How could they leave out Captain Video and his Video Rangers.??

 

That show was so ahead of it's time...
The world still isn't ready for it yet.

Glad to see Mystery Science Theater was on the list. That show produced many a literal ROFL.

 

My Top 3
1. Lost
2. Sopranos
3. Dexter

 

Agreed, Breeze! My bride and I comment MST3K-style as we enjoy Redbox movies at home.
We would probably do this in the theater as well, but we can't hear each other with the film's volume cranked so loud nowadays!

Another vote for Breaking Bad!
