Top 10 is too long, not sure if I watched 10 shows in fact. Top 3 or 5 would be manageable.

Mine:

2. Twin Peaks
3. Rome
4. True Detective
5. Breaking Bad
6. Spartacus
6. Tudors
8. Borgias
8. Boardwalk Empire
8. True Blood

It turns out I have watched 10 shows.

7. Suits

Get it done, mate. If you've got a couple of days free for whatever reason, just start it and let it take you from there. You won't regret it!

So, for the most part, tv shows were made after football was invented in 1992.

Doesn't seem to be a great deal of love for british television shows either - not that I'm criticising, most of my top ten would probably be shows made in the US.

Oops. Pressed the arrow to post on my phone.

Also curb you enthusiasm and breaking bad.

sideshowme · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2014, 01:21:17 am »

restricting it to ten is quite a challenge... in no particular order:

breaking bad
press gang
deadwood
the wire
frasier
modern family
true detective
game of thrones
misfits
blackadder (4, 2, 3, 1)

that's based on stuff that has stood the test of time, and newer stuff that really had an impact on me. honourable mentions to the sopranos (other than the duff season), mad men (ditto), the IT crowd, father ted, the trip and justified.

IanZG · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2014, 08:48:23 am »

Let's give it a try...

Fawlty Towers
Firefly
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Office (US)
The Simpsons
~~BlackAdder~~ Seinfeld
Psych
Game Of Thrones
Community
True Detective

The first two are my favorites, the others in no particular order. Honorable mentions to Heroes and Prison Break, the first seasons of which I've really enjoyed and Top Gear which would surely be in my top 10, but I'm not sure it's a "show" in the same way as the others here...

Everyone loves The Wire. I have seen 4.5 episodes and find each episode rather hard to get through. What is wrong with me?

Do I have to stick through further or am I just not likely to get it?
