*in the history of television

Also, it's noted that I was limited to what I could put. I chose nine top notch shows. If you put other, please state the show you would have selected.

I chose The Wire.
 
My all time favorite is Deadwood.

From the list I chose Breaking Bad.
 
Oh I forgot;

No such thing. It's also not surprising that this thread was started by someone from New Jersey.
 
Damn bros. Great shows here.

I have to go with seinfeld... Followed by breaking bad and the wire in that order.


Also think Fargo holds its own against these shows
 
I haven't watched a lot of TV series, relatively speaking, and I can't figure out which one would be my favorite of those I've seen. So I voted for MASH, my favorite among the few on the list that I've seen.

I have a long list of TV series that someday I'm going to watch - now if only I could get in the habit of watching more than news and sports.
 
long running TV shows that are missing

Star Trek
Dr Who
Law and Order
South Park
Cheers
The Andy Griffith show
Happy Days
Nova(Not like the others but definitely deserves consideration)
Sesame Street
and a bunch more. I can't really pick a goat. If I really think about it though it's probably Sesame Street.

Cheers is the only one that you mentioned that would even make me think about being the best ever..... It still gets destroyed by seinfeld though.

Diane was just too annoying. Plus they had two major characters come and go which hurts its chances against these other greats
 
Seinfeld was a genius. It was such an amazingly written show. All these years later I still have almost daily situations that come up where I have to stop and laugh because it reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.
 
Breaking Bad.

The orignial Twilight Zone series and season 1 of True Detective are my next two favorites.

Seinfeld is the best comedy of all time.

He and David each make 200M per year off residuals I've read.
 
Wow. A lot of TV guys in here since Seinfeld is rocking. I went with the Wire. Easy. Very different genres that hit very different spots though.
 
Breaking Bad and Seinfeld.

Seinfeld wins though because you could watch it over and over....and over...
