Top 10 TV-Shows of all time

I can't believe someone thinks Big Bang Theory is the 7th greatest show of all time.

Sheldon Cooper...........end of.


tbh I'm more worried that Prison Break is number 2 on it.....but as long as it's only his fave list and he doesn't claim its some kind of great tv writing and acting, then were cool.


Prison Break Season 1 was phenomenal, there is no question about that.
Season 2,3 and 4 weren't as good but for an individual season of any given show I've seen, none have been better than Prison Break season 1.

You need to see more shows, it's fine but I wouldn't even say it's the best series set in a prison. Oz and Porridge are better (in very different ways mind you!).

Go and watch it again, back to back, one episode after another, if you pass 3 days and you're still watching, you've let time go too far.
 
My favourites - although it could change sooner rather than later as I have another 5 or 6 boxsets to watch.

1. The Wire
2. The Shield
3. 24
4. Rescue Me
5. Dexter
6. Only Fools and Horses
7. The Sopranos
8. Boston Legal
9. House
10. Band of Brothers (in the middle of watching it - brilliant)
 
I can't remember any of the scenes in that show but the theme tune is 80's gold:


I just spent the last several months watching all 5 seasons back to back, pure genius it was.

I would agree with that actually. Season 1 of Prison Break was quite possibly the greatest season of any TV show I've saw. Unfortunately the rest of the seasons weren't as good so that's why it wasn't at the top.
 
Never seen The Wire? Any good?

Will record on SKY if it's decent.

Been watching The Borgias, The Pacific lately on my SKY planner.
 
Considering that it's generally regarded by the public and critics (and a lot of folks in this thread) as the best TV show ever made, then yeah, it's decent :)

Is it?

I like The Wire fine, but I wouldn't call it the best TV show ever made. To each his own, I guess.
 
1. Planet Earth
2. Blue Planet
3. Life
4. Scrubs
5. Supernatural
6. The Simpsons
7. Dexter
8. Rome

Just finished the first season of Rome, enjoyed it. I hate the main character but some of the important historical characters are spot on, like Caesar, Antonius.

Prison Break Season 1...

'This is how we're gonna get out!'

<Insert obstacle>

'Now how are we gonna escape?'

<cliffhanger>

Found it a tad repetitive at times.

I agree with most of these. My list, in no particular order (mind you this is just my favourites):

- Red Dwarf
- Game of Thrones
- Blackadder
- Only Fools and Horses
- The Office (UK version)
- The Wire
- Minder
- The Extras
- The Simpsons (pre 2000, I'd say)
- Midsomer Murders

Special mention to Yes Minister/Prime Minister and South Park.

Id have liked to put Red Dwarf in but could not decide what to drop, and Minder was Class.
 
Well I don't think he was looking for documentary series tbf. They should rightfully have their separate thread if anything.
 
The second season of Rome was even better than the first one.

Such a shame that they cancelled it. I Re-watched it recently and it really is as good as I remembered it.

Does anyone know if it's still the most expensive tv show ever made?
 
It was a good show, but wouldn't come close to being in a top 10 of all time.

Yup, would have been in my top 10 a few years ago though.

I think Terra Nova is on it's way to become the most expensive one.
 
:lol:

That really is laughable. Terra Nova is absurdly bad. I could understand if a show like Boardwalk Empire cost more to make than Rome, but Terra Nova..
 
1. The Sopranos
2. The Office (UK)
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
4. The Wire
5. Marion and Geoff
6. The Simpsons
7. Blackadder
8. Brass Eye
9. Planet Earth (and all the other Attenborough shit)
10. Later... with Jools Holland
Nice to see it get at least one mention.
Best TV programme ever, no contest.

And I can't believe I'm the first to mention Bottom! When you're tired of Eddie you're tired of life.
