    10. Game of Thrones 9. Saturday Night Live 8. Doctor Who 7. Sesame Street 6. I Love Lucy 5. The Simpsons 4. M*A*S*H 3. Seinfeld 2. Breaking Bad 1. The Sopranos ~ Shame on you for sleeping on the masterpiece which is "Better Call Saul"
  • @Mos41f
    Miami Vice deserved a spot on this list. The fact that several shows and movies are still trying to replicate the 80s vibe should tell you how influential it was.
  • Batman: The Animated Series is my favorite superhero show. The writing, characters, vocal performances, and dark tone and atmosphere keeps me coming back to it.
  • The fact that friends is higher than the wire is criminal
  • 1) Game Of Thrones. 2) Peaky Blinders. 3) Succession. 4) The Leftovers. 5) The Office(US). 6) The Sopranos. Didn't mention Breaking Bad coz I think of it as a good show but not great.
  • @eldudereno204
    I am very surprised Six Feet Under, didn’t make the list. That’s one of my favourite shows.

    The list is badly missing "Band of Brothers". Sadly it is a very underrated show.
  • Two out of my favorites were in the top 3. My top 3 is 1. Breaking Bad 2. Better Call Saul 3. Seinfeld

    WHY IS IT THE 3D WALTER WHITE I’M CRYING 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I noticed that the rating on IMDb for a show is a rating given as a whole and not the average rating of all the episodes as I always thought it was.  So, me being me, I added up every episode rating and divided it by the number of episodes to get an average and it makes for a very interesting read.  I only looked at the following shows and ranked them from highest to lowest. -  Breaking Bad:  9.03 (62 episodes) - Mr. Robot: 9.01 (45 episodes) -  Better Call Saul:  8.91 (63 episodes) -  The Leftovers:  8.86 (28 episodes) -  Game of Thrones:  8.83 (73 episodes) - Peaky Blinders: 8.75 (36 episodes) -  The Sopranos:  8.70 (86 episodes) -  The Wire:  8.68 (60 episodes) -  Mad Men:  8.48 (92 episodes) - Rick and Morty: 8.43 (51 episodes) Breaking Bad had a rating of 9.43 for its final season (16 episodes) and is the only series with an episode rated 10/10 (Ozymandias). Mr. Robot had a rating of 9.32 for its final season (13 episodes). Better Call Saul had a rating of 9.12 for its final season (13 episodes). Game of Thrones had an average of 9.06 if we exclude the final season. The final season of Game of Thrones had an average of 6.33 (6 episodes). Even though this list excludes miniseries and anime, it is worth mentioning that Chernobyl has an average rating of 9.60 across the 5 episodes and Attack on Titan has an average rating of 9.31 over the current 87 episodes. Season 3 has the highest average rating with an astonishing 9.51 over 22 episodes. Season 4 second with 9.39 (28 episodes) then Season 2 with 9.33 (12 episodes) and then Season 1 with 9.05 (25 episodes).

  • After this Top 100 on TV Shows, you should do another Top 100; next time on Video Games!
  • I’m surprised Modern Family didn’t make the list. I mean it won the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy like five times, and has made a few dozen of your lists in the past.
  • This must’ve been one hell of a hard list to make. No doubt so many great shows missing but very enjoyable watch
  • @trevorm803
    You guys absolutely nailed this list very well done 👍👍
