The top 3 is obviously preposterous.

Seinfeld 30? No Simpsons? No Wonder Years?

I’m surprised MASH didn’t make the list.

Mad Men and Peaky Blinders should have been in the top 5.

...and someone thinks "Friends" was good?

Hard to believe the vast majority of the best shows have come out in the last 20 years.

Mad Men


#21? Yeesh.

I would put this show up against anything.

Where's Columbo? Basically the Godfather of cinematic TV.

This chart used 12 sources for ratings and reviews, so it's pretty accurate what the majority of people have liked over the years

I doubt it. You can't tell me shows like MASH, I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, All In the Family, and even The Cosby Show aren't more liked than about 90% of the shows on that list.

True, but people who rate and review old shows like that don't really show up on these review services. That's probably the reason because they are old shows

My big gripe about this - No Friday Night Lights

I’m glad BSG made the list and there are good shows on the list, but some on the list are very questionable.

In no multiverse is Stranger Things a top 8 show of all time. Also, lots of recency bias as stated and very drama heavy.

Everyone knows Community is the best comedy of all time.

Are half those shows even considered "great"? I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, Gunsmoke, The Twilight Zone, The Andy Griffith Show, The Ed Sullivan Show didn't exist? Sanford and Son, The Rockford Files, The Fugitive never aired?

Game of Thrones is obvious to everyone that it’s not the second best show of all time. Given the ending it automatically disqualifies it from the Top 10 and really the Top 20.

Agree with the Top 5, I would have Lost, Seinfeld, The Shield, and Severance higher though.

Breaking Bad wasn't even the best TV show on during its entire run.

Chernobyl is simply incredible television. I have seen few things as well done as that masterpiece.

The best comedy of all time shockingly made that list and it's not Community (or American, for that matter)
