Best shows of all time

This is simply the best show of all time. Use any metric you'd like and it still comes out on top.

Absolutely stunning series. If not for a couple awful episodes in Season 6, one might even call it perfect.

Best special effects in a television series. And it has so few weaknesses. A couple characters are beginning to become stale as of the 4th season, but that still has time to change.

The best storyline of any series ever made. It's slightly marred by several instances of subpar acting by a couple of the stars (although certainly not Cranston). That may be reflective of some poor script choices at times as well.

The first three seasons alone merit placing this show high on the list. In a world of simply terrible comedies, this is one show that happens to hit on almost every note. Season 4 was more of a mixed bag, but not bad enough to drop the rating lower.

Great characters and excellent atmosphere. This show will make mid-westerners feel at home. Two excellent seasons so far and this one might end up being ranked higher after a couple more.

One of the greatest scripts ever written. Fans of the traditional western genre will most enjoy the first several episodes. Thereafter, it becomes an R-rated Shakespearean drama. If that's your thing, you'll love this one.

Visceral 1st season with some surprising turns. This one will be on my list to see how it progresses. I just wish I spoke Italian to get the full effect!

For a sketch show to make this list, it must be good. If you want to laugh with four guys having fun, this is a perfect choice.

Larry is a funny guy. He knows how to write comedy better than almost anyone on the planet.

Always puts the viewer on the edge of their seat. Great script and pacing are showcased by excellent acting. All around great political thriller style program, despite a ton of unreal events littered throughout.

Some of the best drama you will ever see. Based on the first 3 seasons, this show is simply excellent. Still waiting to catch up on the 4th season.

Pure fun. This is a guilty pleasure, but it's oh so good.

This series contains the greatest moment in television history (although it certainly wasn't the happiest moment). The series has so many great points, but it's difficult to ignore that its formulaic development detracted. In addition, the show must hold the record for the biggest quality drop in its last season.

15 years ago, this probably would've been #1 on the list. It's aged surprisingly well, but shows of the new century have simply gotten ridiculously good.

How will any car show ever come close to being as good as this one? Way too much fun, especially the adventure specials.

Tons of fun...for only one season. There's a lot of cheesiness in the show as well. It's certainly a great show, but 2-4 more seasons are needed to rank it higher.

When it's good, it's great. I'm not sure if there's ever been a more up and down show than this one. The filler episodes are painful in many respects but the good episodes are simply amazing television.

Interesting characters in unique circumstances. It's just too bad that almost none of the characters are actually likable. Still a fun watch.

Season 2 was a total mess and has seriously marred an otherwise excellent series based on season 1. We'll see what happens if there's a 3rd season.

They have satire figured out. For the social commentary alone, it's worth putting it here.

The second season was a drastic improvement in writing. Loved every episode.
