I'm surprised it wasn't in the top 5. Even its worst season is better than most tv shows. (S8 doesn't exist). Don't think they'll even be a show with so many amazing characters and just absolute bastards of villians in it. Especially all the shocking moments and epic battles. D&D are actually geniuses for how bad they got it wrong in the final season. A 5 year old could have done a better job.

Into the top 5!
I must make an effort to go back and revisit this. I watched it fully stoned and couldn't distinguish between characters.

Good series. Love the winter episode. Still don't think it's one of the best ever.
Just fecking epic. Watch it once a year or so.
Such a wonderful series.
Depends, I think. In Norway there's certainly not an issue with that, rather the contrary - pretty much every British comedy classic that's been shown on TV has had huge penetration, especially back in the TV only days. The good and the not so good both. Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, To the manor born, 'Allo 'Allo, Mr. Bean, Yes Prime Minister. Also, people like Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey draw sell-out crowds at big venues when they bring their stand-up acts.

Truly amazing show. Bastogne is such a haunting episode.
I banged it top, as I think it's the best all round show from start to finish ever created and is insanely rewatchable.
However, it is a limited series so was torn between that and Sopranos. Could have possibly put Sopranos top in hindsight, ultimately equal in my eyes.

Where can you watch this in the UK? Would like to give it a watch?
I need to rewatch Band of Brothers. It’s probably been 10+ years.
Can’t imagine watching it stoned

Thanks.
True Detective made it to top 20 on the back of one (of three) series. Just one. Surely GoT had more than one series that would top most dubious selections in this top 20 so far?
Strong showing from everyone's favourite animated family. The early days of this show are just pure tv gold.
There's a giant gap between this and the top 3 though.
Probably the funniest lines I've ever heard came via the Simpsons. Genuinely heartwarming at times too. Don't think I've watched more than a handful of episodes from this millennia though.
One of the greatest shows of all time full-stop. The re-birth of it via shitposts has only enhanced it imo and I still watch episodes to this day and burst out laughing.
Childhood nostalgia rules.
I’m watching it now again with my kids (aged 8 and 5), obviously a lot of the humor goes over their heads but there’s still so many laughs in it for them.
This song still rocks.
It's clearly not just that. Yes nobody watches the newer seasons but people still watch the best seasons all the time, just like with any show.
It's funny as a kid and funny as an adult for entirely different reasons. Something for everyone.
At its peak it was genius. There are still so many lines and quotes that me and my friends say to each other from it. It’s still hilarious too if you catch some of the older episodes.

Big GoT fan but I don’t think this even made my list purely because of how drastically it fell off a cliff. Was pretty trash from season 5 onwards and seasons 7 & 8 were awful, culminating in probably the worst ending of all time. At its peak it was probably the biggest series ever, but it’s legacy has taken a beating since.
Nothing will ever be so good, so wholesome, subversive, brilliant, funny, honest, critical and emotional as the first ten seasons of the Simpsons. Especially the shows peak from season 3 to 8 is in my opinion the greatest show tv has ever seen. I love the show. It made good times even funnier and bad times a little brighter.
Never been a fan of GoT. Even the first seasons I watched had already enough tedium dragged out to fill up time imho. Pretty soapy stuff most of the times too.
I'd read the books long before the GOT show and when it came out I thought it's mediocre at best, given the material. I can see people liking it so much if they haven't read the books though.
I doubt anyone under the age of 20 right now has any interest in it unless it's their 40 year old dads still sat watching yellow cartoon guy saying D'oh for the last 30 years.
Are we out of touch? No. It’s the children who are wrong.
Bonjourrrrrrrr you TikTok watching vape monkeys!
6th season was absolutely incredible with some of the best episodes in the entire show, and the finale is the best episode ever.
The last two seasons were spectacularly bad though, almost like bad fan fiction.
Bolded bit is incredibly reductive and you know it. I forgot how much of a big depresso you are when you enter threads.
A lot of shows decline and it's normal but it's rare to watch something and think the writers were paid to intentionally sabotage and completely burn it to the ground to the point a parody would look better. It would have taken someone who absolutely hated every single fan of the show to make Jaime Lannister say a line like "I never really cared about them" after that entire series. Couldn't hate the show more after that ending if I tried and that's from someone who pretty much has every single scene of at least the first four seasons memorized.
It is what it is. If you mean I don't sugarcoat things unnecessarily then yeah, I'm ok with it. It's hardly surprising to see a show like that being super popular in a forum where the average age is like mid 40s.
True Detective's one series was a complete, self contained story. It didn't matter that the second series was bad. Same with Blackadder having a bad first season, it didn't hurt the later ones. I find it pretty hard to care about any of Game of Thrones now. The bad seasons hurt the good ones much more. Doesn't help that these looming threats that add jeopardy in early seasons turned out to be such a damp squib. There was always a mystery box, anticipation element to the show that needed a payoff.
If you haven't seen episodes like King-Size Homer, Mr. Plow or Deep Space Homer at least 20+ times I don't know what you do in this thread.
