Top Gear
How I met your Mother

Honorable mentions go to Sons of Anarchy, The Walking Dead and Firefly.

2. Futurama
3. Boardwalk Empire
4. Game of Thrones
5. Curb your Enthusiasm

Honorable mentions: Doctor Who, South Park, Community, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Harvey Birdman, Star Trek: TOS, TNG, DS9, The Twilight Zone (Rod Serling Original) and Arrested Development.

 

[Doctor Brobotnik]

No love for King of the Hill? Sad.

In no order,

South Park
King of the Hill
Skins (UK)
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
Superjail

1. The Simpsons (S1-S8)- Miles ahead of any show that has or will ever grace the tube.

2. Arrested Development- Killing this show was the biggest travesty of the Fox Network since not killing Zombie Simpsons.

3. Breaking Bad- Starts out excellent, just keeps getting better.

4. Twin Peaks- Brilliant, but left open ended.

5. Firefly- Oh, Fox. Again?

HM: Dexter- without the drop in quality each season, it would have easily been at least #3.

1. The Wire
2. The Wire
3. The Wire

Were you counting individual seasons or just emphasizing the extent to which the show is awesome?

A bit of both! Favorite is probably season 2, then 1, then 4.

That's my exact order too! What did you think about season 5?

As I am thinking about what to write here, I am realizing I may have a bit of a TV problem...

Oh, and Netflix instant streaming isn't helping either, because now I keep discovering more and more awesomeness.

I am going to give myself some to answer the favorites of all time (although my avatar might you give you a slight tip of the hat for something on my list there... I am wearing a matching t-shirt to that right now too!), and I will answer limiting myself to the stuff I couldn't live without, on the air, in the last year:

Community
Chuck
Sherlock
Psych
I'm loving Falling Skies so far
Breaking Bad (OMG when will it start already?!?!?!)
Phineas & Ferb (don't judge me - just watch it! I discovered it while babysitting and now I am addicted)
Love Bites (we just discovered it last night ondemand - it looks like a keeper)
Walking Dead

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but I'll leave it at that!

 

[riverand]

GAH!

How did I forget BONES and PARENTHOOD??!! Love them both!

Maybe you aren«t mature enough to be able to watch a series without fights.
GoT has some fights later but it's not the principal thing in the series.

It's really just about characterization and development, at least the 1st season, I haven't read the books. In terms of characters leaves Lotr far far behind, they are a bit simple. And I am a Lotr fan.

Quickly jumping to the conclusion that I'm not mature enough, well done.
I am perfectly able to watch a series without fights, but in my humble opinion, a series set in a scene like GoT must have a certain focus on barbaric themes, therefore I feel that it misses what I expected it to be.
If I offended you when I expressed my feelings towards GoT, I am deeply sorry.

A lot of people didn't think it was as good but I loved it, the new setting was entirely believable and the new characters were well introduced- just like the dock workers of season 2, and nobody complained about new characters back then!

 

[MetaKnight19]

In no order here,

Fawlty Towers
Red Dwarf
Blackadder
Have I Got News For You
Monkey Dust (one of the weirdest shows ever to be put on TV)
