I'm surprised Dean was the only one to mention The Office.

It may not be the best ever, but I can watch that over and over again

With others above, Justified is my favorite drama of all time. Deadwood and Sopranos are next.

Comedies: also agree with others. Cheers is my favorite. MASH (Frank Burns episodes) second.

Love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

PSA, Chernobyl, on HBO right now, is outstanding mini-series.

'Band of Brothers' is one of my all-time favorite TV mini-series (the book by Stephen Ambrose is pretty good too).

I've seen the first two seasons of 'Ozarks'. Julie Garner does a good job w/ her "Ruth Langmore" character.

I liked 'Broadchurch', particularly the first two seasons.

I liked the four-episode British 'House of Cards' better than the first season of the American version. Since I'm not a fan of politics nor machiavellianism, I stopped watching the program.

I've watched a couple of episodes of 'Deadwood', 'Dexter', and 'Luther', respectively. After I finish watching 'Justified', 'The Last Kingdom', and 'The Sopranos' I'll probably restart 'Deadwood'.

Fwiw, some other TV show series I've liked are '11/22/63', 'Bloodline' (first two seasons only, the third season progressively worsened), 'Dark', 'Downton Abbey', 'Fauda', 'Fawlty Towers', 'Happy Valley', 'Longmire', 'Stranger Things' (first season was better than the second one), and 'The Twilight Zone'.

Many good shows listed but two that I grew up on that hasn't been mentioned is Quantum Leap and Knight Rider. Both awesome shows.

The thing that set Seinfeld apart as a sitcom was the technique of taking 2-3 seemingly disjointed stories and weaving them together at the end (eg kramer hitting golf balls into the ocean to plug a whales blowhole to be saved by fake marine biologist George). While I did think Seinfeld was funny regardless, I'd have to tip the cap versus other sitcoms for that.

But Cheers, Friends, Mary Tyler Moore Show, All In the Family, Cosby Show, MASH all deserve consideration for sure.

My favorite single sitcom episode of all time came from much less popular WKRP in Cincinnati, when the head of sales accidentally spray painted his daughters frog pink. Several episodes of that show were special, even though the series only lasted about 4-5 seaso
Great segment of WKRP but it can't be better than the Thanksgiving turkey drop and its broadcast by Les Nessman.

WKRP was awesome.

So was Sanford and Son.

The Office was AWESOME and so was Seinfeld. Cosmo Kramer and Dwight have to be the two best characters ever. I also used to love Cheers. Friends has to be in there somewhere.

What a great thread! I could get Lost in it.... yep, my fav tv show. Did anyone from that show ever hit it big? Most have been Lost.

I picked this post to respond to first, just a remark about WRKP....

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly".

Les Nessman on the scene reporting like it was the Hindenberg. On my fav quote list from one of the most underrated tv shows of all times.

thx for mentioning them.

Watching it now too. Should be required watching by everyone on this planet.

I have an long time friend (she was a UGA grad) leaving for a trip to Russia in a few days. I told her about the show. Gave her some tips based on it, If you see a sign that says "chernobyl", do a180 immmediately!

Of course, I also accused her of being a commie on a secret mission to ef with elections here. Or to get some dirt on a politician. Sure hope it's a Nancy.

Better shut up before I start getting followed by people being followed by other people. You know , the K-G-B.

A buddy of mine just said the exact same thing to me yesterday.

You know any ex-college BB coaches named Steve?

couldn't find any mention of this mini-series.

One of the best ever.

Lonesome Dove.

I only watched Gunsmoke because of Miss Kitty. I had a crush on her as a kid. LOL!
She went to school at Brenau, in Gainesville, and donated a pile of money.
