OT: greatest TV series ever

[BTF69]

Dallas is probably the only series my wife and I could watch together in our 45 years of marriage. Not sure I would watch it today because I couldn’t get in to Yellowstone. It’s weird because I’m a big Costner fan, love Montana and love western movies.

Dallas was amazing because of JR and Bobby.

JR Ewing might go down as the best "bad guy" on TV and he was so perfectly played by Larry Hagman.

And Bobby was perfect as the "good son"

Yellowstone clearly stole everything from Dallas, which makes sense, why not? But after the first season or so it just kind of lost its way.

Seinfeld

Sitting here pondering, this is a TOUGH one to narrow down. So many I loved over the years.

Justified
The Walking Dead (early seasons)
Ed
Fargo (not a fan of the newest season)

Have to go with Sopranos as the best ever.

This show was ahead of its time. Had it come on when the internet and social media was around, it would have been a HUGE hit.

I’m still an old school Law and Order man.

It stands the test of time, and Sam Waterston is incredible.

Seinfeld - Comedy
Breaking Bad - Drama

Overall my favorite is Seinfeld

 

[PvilleHuskerTim]

Gunsmoke
Charlie’s Angels
Seinfeld
Last Man Standing

If going by era. Kind of proud to say I have never watched 50%+ of the shows most of you have mentioned.

 

[Laner2]

Bob Newhart show and Carol Burnett show......

 

[mthskrdoc]

Hell On Whee. Every Nebraska kid needs to watch this
Deadwood. Anyone that doubts 5th grade history about Calamity Jane
Peeky Blinders. Just good ole gangster mob smut from early days of NYC

 

[huskerfan66]

Bob Newhart show and Carol Burnett show......

Agree although Carol Burnett would be variety show but I guess technically a series

 

[huntered]

all in the family
breaking bad
lonesome dove

 

[Baxter48]

I enjoyed the supporting cast but Alan Alda makes me nauseous. I thought he was extremely over rated as an actor.

The early episodes of mash were the best

 

[coach-ed]

Taxi

 

[Lincoln100]

Gunsmoke
MASH
All in the Family
Hogan's Hero's
Sanford and Son
Seinfeld
WKRP....ended too soon
Last man Standing

Gunsmoke, hogans hero’s and all in the family? How old are you? WKRP is such a great call.

 

[dinglefritz]

Taxi

Taxi aired at a time I didn’t have much time to watch but it had some hilarious stuff

Yellowstone clearly stole everything from Dallas, which makes sense, why not? But after the first season or so it just kind of lost its way.

A college friend of mine went on to be a vet in LA and took care of pets for Patrick Duffy. Said he was a super nice guy.

The stories about how much they drank when shooting Dallas are insane. Hagman earned that liver transplant.

 

[Laner2]

Head 'em up, move 'em out.
RAWHIDE!

 

[scarletred]

All in the Family. And it’s not debated.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Twilight Zone - makes your skin crawl
Star Trek (original) - for many reasons
Perry Mason - bad guy/gal always gets caught, fantastic automobiles
Batman and Wild Wild West - every costume and set used over the top color for newfangled color TV
Dallas - what man didn't want to be JR?
Breaking Bad - edge of your seat roller coaster
Banacek - campy how-done-it, classic Packard, AMC and Caddy Limo, guy bedded at least 1 woman each episode and kicked somebody's butt each episode..
