What are your top ten all time favorite TV series?

[nyadrn]

Wow  we have covered quite a number of shows old and new in this group.  Makes me wonder, after all of the years and all of the shows, which ones you have loved above all others.  

Feel free to say why or comment if you would like to..

No restrictions.. comedy, drama,  reality, whatever you like.

[EricC227821]

That would be an ever-changing list, but if I was somehow stranded on an uncharted island with the ability to watch some T.V. each day, I'd want some variety:

NOVA

Futurama

Frontline

The Red Green Show

Star Trek is a toss-up between Enterprise and Discovery

Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom

And lump all those shows about Zoo's on Animal Planet into one series.

[ScottF711920]

In no particular order:

Werewolf (1987-1988) -- best show to air on the then-new Fox network; highly underrated

Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea (1964-1968) -- way ahead of its time sci fi

Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974-1975) -- extremely underrated and underappreciated

The X-Files (1993-2002; 2016; 2018) -- wouldn't exist if Kolchak didn't exist first

Josie And The Pussycats (1970-1972) -- long tails and ears for hats!

Thundarr The Barbarian (1980-1981) -- best animated show ever.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe (1983-1984) -- amazing

She-Ra: Princess Of Power (1985-1986) -- amazing

The Beverly Hillbillies (1962-1971) -- one of the all-time classics

Bewitched (1964-1972) -- one of the very best comedies ever

Barney Miller (1974-1982) -- near perfect character-driven comedy

MASH (1972-1983) -- still the best dramedy of all time, virtual perfection

Dallas (1977-1991) -- the king of the nighttime soaps

Sons Of Anarchy (2008-2015) -- fabulous brutal depiction of MC life, amazing characters

Oz (1997-2003) -- fabulous brutal depiction of prison life, underrated and nearly forgotten

The Sopranos (1999-2007) -- one of the best TV series ever in any genre.

The New Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn (1968-1969) -- weird, good, alternate-worlds show

Thundercats (1985-1989) -- doesn't get much better than this for animated shows

Fantastic Journey (1977) -- another weird alternate worlds show, but actual sci-fi
