Frasier
Six Feet Under
Spin City (S1-4 MJ Fox supremacy)
Picket Fences
Steven Universe Doctor Who Firefly Samurai Jack Spaced Regular Show Star Trek The Wire Twin Peaks Shogun (1980)

In random order:
Poirot
TNG
BSG
Morse/Lewis/Endeavor
Rockford Files
Nature
Nova
A French Village
Midsomer Murders
Shetland
Major Props for The Rockford Files such a great show and really a major influence on so many other great shows.
Currently watching Poirot (the series) for the first time. Hard to believe it started in the 80’s - the film quality is so high, it looks great even on a large TV today.
And the production values overall are amazing. The cars, the clothes, the buildings, etc - they really captured the 1930’s. I really appreciate the clear, well-balanced colors, too, none of today’s high-contrast, over-saturated crap.
The Prisoner
The Twilight Zone
Star Trek et al.
Homicide : Life On The Street.
The Avengers [Steed and Peel]
Those are the ones I feel are objectively unsurpassed.
Here, in no particular order, are some that are not as famous but worth a view.
The Venture Brothers
Lost In Space [2018]
School Spirits
Branded [used to watch it at 5 am while preparing for work]
The Wire
The Expanse
What We Do In The Shadows
Below is in no particular order but above is importantly in that order.
Ted Lasso
Downton Abbey (certainly some characters I find annoying (Daisy) but it is an excellent period piece)
Silo
Farscape
Stargate SG1
The Newsroom
Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul
Enjoyed all the big ones like The Office, Parks & Rec, Arrested Development, Game of Thrones
Personal favorites are:
Honorable mention:
I don’t have a top ten, lots of my favorites have already been mentioned, so I’ll add a few new ones:
There are probably some more, but I can’t remember at the moment.
Then I turned 12 and Baywatch came on. Pretty embarrassed, but loved anything where a car, helicopter, or plane was the real main character.
Baywatch was so bad, I couldn’t even watch it for the slo-mo girls running down the beach.
Now the movie - that was a riot.
Off the top of my head X-Files all the Star Treks, Fringe, lost, and a bunch more I’m forgetting cuz I’m old 😎
Top ten ish tv shows
Honorable Mentions
The handmaid’s tale The queen’s gambit Sex education The Durrells Top of the lake Halt and catch fire Game of thrones The maid Alaska daily Silicon valley
I just watched the Queen’s gambit for the first time last weekend! It’s sooooo good! Anya Taylor Joy is a complete different actress in mind now seeing her in that
