    Can't disagree with any show on your list. Have to admit..... I wasn't able to keep up with Game of Thrones. I don't think that the show had closed captioning, and the accents made it hard for me to follow along/understand. My wife loved the show.

    That's too bad, because it really had everything. Tight plotting (until, some would argue, the last season), tremendous action, and superb dialogue, which you apparently missed.

    Great examples include “Power resides where men believe it resides. It’s a trick, a shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow." — Lord Varys. Or, “Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour, and it can never be used to hurt you.” — Tyrion Lannister.

    Dexter was one strange dude, as he made a couple mistakes, if I remember correctly.. Some of the scenes were a little too graphic, and I had to look away. My wife enjoyed it. :eek:

    Most of mine have been mentioned, so I'll just throw out one addition:

    Night Court

    It never seemed to get the respect it deserved, but was a fantastic show.

    I will add, though, that @M0rtyC is absolutely right about the British show Coupling. It was a great show with an excellent cast. There was a mercifully brief attempt at an America reboot. Let's just say it wasn't the Office.

    I can’t believe no one has mentioned The Big Bang Theory. My all time favorite hands down. Nothing else even comes close.

    I love Young Sheldon but, well, I'll sometimes watch BBT but I'm not really a hardcore fan.

    Really tough for me to list 3 but I definitely know my top one. I know the ending rubbed some the wrong way but Lost will always be my favorite. The show itself is fine but the phenomenon of the time if you watched it as the episodes unfolded is unparalleled. It was simply the perfect convergence for this type of high drama/mystery/sci-fi driven show combined with the growing popularity of online discussion that provided an outlet for people to really dive deep into every word and hidden symbol to guess what might happen next. I really hope someone figures out a way to replicate this type of experience again.

    Loved Have Gun Will Travel. It was well written, often with a twist. Gene Roddenberry wrote many of the episodes.

    One more that might not have been mentioned is “Don’t Shoot Me” with David Spade. It had a long run and had a pretty solid cast with Spade, Wendy Malick and George Segal.
