    The Best TV Series

    1. Breaking Bad - is the best series ever made ​​for me.
    2. The Sopranos - less dynamic show, but right there in second place.
    3. Only Fools and Horses - a classic comedy.
    Then two animated series:
    5. The Simpsons,
    6. South Park,
    and two other comedies:
    7. That's 70s Show,
    8. Two and a Half Men (only with Charlie Sheen).
    Until The Last Rebel!

    1. The Wire
    2. The Sopranos Close second
    3. Only Fools and Horses -
    4. south Park- consistently so much better and funnier than the simpsons, Simpsons seem dated now
    6. Fawlty Towers
    7. Father Ted

    I would put game of thrones in there.

    I didn't watched these two, but I've heard that Love & Hate is very good too. When I get some time I'll have to take a look.

    Father Ted is a must. Greatest Irish (or British produced) comedy ever.

    Anyone else think Breaking Bad is overrated? Still a great show but far from perfect.

    I think The Sopranos is better than Breaking Bad or The Wire.

    Seinfeld is probably the best comedy show. It took a little while to get going but it maintained its quality up until The Finale episode, which was crap.

    Curb Your Enthusiasm, while still good, started gradually declining in Season 4.

    As far as the cartoons, The Simpsons only really had about 7 or 8 good seasons. The first season was crap and so is every season since the late 90s.

    South Park has gone downhill as well. Too pop culture.

    Family Guy is unwatchable these days.

    American Dad probably outlasts all of them in terms of longevity. Never thought I'd say that. Roger the alien gives them a lot of leverage in terms of writing.

    The Finale of Seinfeld is actually a lot better as the years wore on. I restarted watching all of Seinfeld and it's pretty terrible for the first couple of seasons. I think the episode that introduces Newman is where it kicks off.

    Me! I really enjoyed BB - the acting was some of the best I've ever seen in a TV drama - but there was an awful lot of hype surrounding it.

    My favourite season of The Wire was Season 2.

    Frank Sobotka was a great character.

    I'm certainly glad nobody mentioned it. Pure drivel.

    In order of my preferred.
    The Wire
    Homicide, Life on the Streets series 1-6
    Spiral

    big gap to the rest,

    in no order.
    Dexter, series 1-6,
    The Killing, series 1 Danish, the USA version was good.
    Deadwood,
    Prisoner cell block H (Australian) near 700 episodes, though needs a remote control close at hand to FF through the soapy bits.
    Band of Brothers

    I really liked Sopranos series 1. and liked Breaking Bad series 1-3

    A few others that came to mind over the weekend:

    Prime Suspect
    Taggart (until Mark McManus died)
    Black Books
    MASH
    Hustle
    Spooks (though a bit patchy in places; Seasons 1 and 2 were consistently good)
    Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
