The scientifically proven All Time Best Shows on Television

Okay, just throwing nominations out there at this stage. In alphabetical order:


Blackadder (from 'The Black Adder' to 'Blackadder Goes Forth')

Breaking Bad

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Game of Thrones

The Office (UK)

Scrubs (seasons 1 through 6-ish)

The Simpsons (approximately seasons 1 through 15)

Twin Peaks

The X-Files (first 5 or 6 seasons)

Notes:

• Honourable mentions: Curb Your Enthusiasm; Freaks and Geeks; Lost (even though season 2 was a waste of time, and the final was ultimately disappointing); Seinfeld; Scooby Doo (well, you know); early South Park
• There are a number of reputedly excellent shows that I haven't seen and therefore can't rate, in particular: Battlestar Galactica (Moore/Eick); The Sopranos; True Detective; The Wire; and I'm sure many others
• Clearly, I'm willing to be a bit selective and try to avoid where a series jumps the shark. I do feel more respect for the series that kept a more or less perfect standard the whole way through (Buffy, Adder, Office, BB)
• Obviously my final view on GoT is to be decided.
