Watch it NOW!
TV Show hierarchy:
1. Game of Thrones
2. Breaking Bad
3. Dexter?
Just finished Breaking Bad actually. I'm voting for watching either Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, X-Files, or
Vikings next. Kinda leaning toward Vikings, because Vikings.
Oh man, you guys opened up this can of worms.
[DOUCHEBAG ELITIST ALERT] The Wire and Sopranos are better than all three of those shows. I wouldn't put Game of Thrones in the top five. I'm still on season three of Breaking Bad, so I can't judge yet. But I hear the final season is one of the critically acclaimed of any show, so my hopes are high
Also, Mad Men is a notable mention and a personal favourite of mine, but after the last season, I don't think it's a top three show any longer
Now, where to rank comedies is a harder question. There is a lot of good comedy on TV right now, including Party Down, Parks and Rec, Archer and Community (the latter becoming kind of shitty of late). But, historically, it has to go to Seinfeld (with respect to Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiam and the first seven seasons of The Simpsons). I would put Seinfeld in the top five because it was the first real existential show on television, and while there are a few shows that I think were funnier, they didn't change the game like Seinfeld. Everyone gives credit to the Sopranos for changing television and giving it the production values of movies, but I think Seinfeld fundamentally changed the way a lot of TV shows are written
As for personal favourites, Freaks and Geeks. So sad that got cancelled after only one season :*(
