[CM_Burns]

1.The Sopranos
2.The Wire
3.The Simpsons
4.Breaking Bad
5.The Shield
6.Eastbound and Down, off the strength of season 4 maybe being the funniest season of TV I've ever seen.
7.Boardwalk Empire
8.Deadwood
9.Justified- I think it's fair to include this, it's basically over. I didn't consistently love this show, but when it was good (S3) I liked it a lot.
10.Twilight Zone- you might say wtf at it being this low and still being included, but some of the episodes don't really hold up today. Some do very well, but some seem pretty bland/uninteresting by today's standards.


I never thought I'd say it through the first few seasons, I legitimately thought it'd be the GOAT, but Game of Thrones might drop a few slots in the next few seasons. There just isn't that much interesting to look forward to now imo, especially if it's the world vs white walkers.

True Detective S1's ending I didn't like at the time, and the last couple episodes could've been less formulaic, but after a rewatch it's top 5 ever easy regardless.

I like Girls, but this season feels like the one it falls off and she has no idea where to take it. I laughed a lot less this season compared to the other 3.

LOL at Better Call Saul a GOAT after 4 pretty good episodes.

The final season fell off for a wide variety of reasons....but I'll be damned if they didn't come up with one of the best series finales in history despite that.

I put Looney Tunes because they recycled the same cartoons for 50+years and the ish still classic. Every character is memorable. Lately I've been watching it every night on Boomerang.
