I've only ever seen one of the top 10 (Stranger Things), and 3 of the top 25.

There seems to be a lot of recency bias in this list. Some older great shows, such as MASH, should be at the top.

Aggregated rankings of best TV shows of all time

RSL This is my dupe account

Jul 7, 6:02pm

I like the ratings on the far right. Breaking bad and GOT are the only two good

DieHarder

Jul 7, 6:04pm

Yeah, that seems to be a pretty bad outlier that skews the rankings

I'm surprised Succession is that low. I'd put it at least top 5.

P-Boy Squad

Jul 7, 6:06pm

GOTs final two seasons are so atrocious I can't even put it in the top 20

CSoul

Jul 7, 6:06pm

I think the opposite. The first 6 seasons are so good that some people now underrate it

TCuz

Jul 7, 6:10pm

The last two episodes of Season 6 are peak TV.

Both post source material too. They were on the right track

TCuz

Jul 7, 6:47pm

The first 6 aren't good enough for me to do that. I read the books before the show and it got weaker

CSoul

Jul 7, 7:28pm

Sorry that's not how it works

TNT

Jul 7, 7:47pm

Sure it is. I’m rewatching it right now and it’s still great

RealTaysomHill

Ian McShane nailed it

Gustav

Sherlock and Fleabag are the biggest surprises for me.

Chernobyl……am I missing that one? Not really heard much about it.

Idacoug

Yes.

It's great. I think mini series should be disqualified from a list like this. Easier to not have let down seasons

P-Boy Squad

Jul 7, 6:13pm

I agree that miniseries should have their own rankings, separate from true

Japan Coug

Jul 7, 7:02pm

But wait! It gets more complicated. What about series like True Detective,

It was fine. I couldn't finish it.

It’s amazing. Deals with truth and bureaucracy.

Art Director

Great show.

Japan Coug

Always Sunny is too low. Surprised to see Battlestar Galactica that high.

I see they snuck Justified in there to keep TNT happy!😀

Bonoman

Jul 7, 6:10pm

Yeah, but no Wonder Woman 😦

But where is 24?

No Monk? No Psych.. No thanks.

TheLost

Jul 7, 6:11pm

I feel like there's a lot of recency bias on there. The top 10 are all from the

mannheimadler

Jul 7, 6:12pm

Yeah, no MASH, Cheers or Cosby Show? Doesn’t make sense.

SpecialT

Jul 7, 6:14pm

Or Frasier. Come on, man.

Cougar Junkie

Jul 7, 6:15pm

Seinfeld? Cheers? Mash? Cosby show? Frasier?

Idacoug

recency bias

Supercoug

Jul 7, 6:16pm

I'm a hack (but a correct hack, so there's that)

Supercoug

Jul 7, 6:19pm

Seinfeld is way too low, and so is The Americans. Friends and Stranger Things

Here's the deal: Breaking Bad was a great show, but I think it's consistently overrated.

Supercoug

Go back to BBQ reviews. TV is not your thing.

SpecialT

Jul 7, 6:35pm

Life is clearly not your thing. Act accordingly.

Sid Vicious

My take is that BB gets rave reviews because it was so new/different in style.

RSL

Jul 7, 6:39pm

Personally I think this is how GOT will be looked at in the future as well. The whole premise of the books

Justified is somewhere between 20-40 spots too low.

Where’s M*A*S*H?

It’s in there. Number 15

Game of Thrones? Ugh

Where is Homeland? That show is straight fire.

What is that rightmost ranking site? 91 for BB and 100 for GoT and everything else is like 20.

supertux

Terrible list IMO

Gustav

#38 "Mare" of Easttown?

A great miniseries

Cougar Junkie

Ah, I was thinking of Mayor of Kingstown

misterpepper

Arrested Development is top 5 for me.
