Let’s be real…. The wire was about WAY more than the war on drugs! They focused on the school system, journalism, politics, human traf****** … they hit hard and made the viewer feel as if they were in the scene with them! Let’s not mention, they did it all with NO BACKGROUND music for 5 seasons!
For me The Wire is second only to Breaking Bad. Third would be Madmen. Besides, The Wire is a documentary of the world lol. It shows that corruption happens everywhere in every segment of society.
Seinfeld aged really badly. The last couple of seasons were bad even back in the day. But now, many of the scenarios throughout the series don't apply or could be easily remedied with modern tech.
How soon we forget the MOST watched tv show episode in history with over 100 million views the night it aired.........70% of the country tuned in...........MASH
I hear this all the time, but it is the greatest shows of all time, so you have to take all the other seasons into consideration, and when you do that it just doesn't make the grade
As a standalone season maybe but the following 3 seasons were mediocre at best. Season 4 of The Wire, Sopranos and Breaking Bad are better than True Detective season 1, but TD S1 is much better than Breaking Bad S1, hard to measure them really.
That’s basically the whole ranking. Breaking Bad should be number one. Roots, Sex and the City, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show are good, but that’s it. They’re ONLY good, and definitely not top 10 worthy
@@teppeiando they are both completely different told stories. Breaking bad is centered all around time because right from the get-go we know Walter is short on time. So it is much more fast paced and action packed whereas better call Saul is more slow burn dialog driven, and highly focused on cinematography. It gives extensive back stories to each of its characters from breaking bad like Mike and Gus, etc.. They are just too completely different styles of storytelling. I personally appreciate lots of dialogue and great cinematography so better call Saul inches it out for me, but both are amazing.

You make a valid point but Bill Crosby is Hollywood kryptonite now. He’s basically only one or two steps above Harvey Weinstein in many people’s view so no one wants to mention him anymore. In a way, it’s too bad because he created groundbreaking work in television, going back to “I Spy” and “Fat Albert”. Also, it’s not fair to the other cast members of “Cosby”. He wasn’t in the show all by himself and all the young actors who played his kids deserve the recognition.
I'm glad my favorite "Mary Tyler Moore" made the top 10, but was surprised "All In The Family" didn't. Just remember, your own list is the one that matters the most.❤

I felt like I was one of the few who didn't hate it, but still recognize that it was one of the most shat on finales of all time by both critics and audiences. They even poke fun at the fact that no one liked it in Curb Your Enthusiasm...
Sex and The City in the Top 10 is laughable and Sopranos, Madmen above Breaking Bad is pure delusion. In any case Friends, GoT(Even with botched Finale), Better call Saul will always make the cut in Top 10 with Breaking Bad at very top that show changed Television especially Writing and Performances are generational even they couldn't replicate that in a complete do over.
The guy who made this should NOT be doing anything related to TV. First of all, why is it just American TV shows? Where is I, Claudius? Fawlty Towers? Monty Python? Second, I have never seen Sex and the City, but I have read so many articles, even by very liberal women, who say the characters are such awful people that the show is unwatchable (although Seinfeld's characters are terrible people as well). Third, where is Twin Peaks? The first season of True Detective? The Twilight Zone? I agree with Roots, The Simpsons, I Love Lucy (although I have not seen an episode in 30 years), The Wire, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, but I think The Golden Girls broke more barriers and addressed more social issues than Mary Tyler Moore.
Great list… the No. 1 pick was perfect as it literally invented the television sitcom. The proof of its genius is the fact that I just LOL at watching some of the clips shown, moments which I’ve seen countless times over the decades of my life. Bravo!!
IMO, variety has an awful list. My top 10 would be 1. Cheers 2. Friday Night Lights 3. Justified 4. Fringe 5. Sanford & Son 6. Yes Minister(BBC) 7. In Time With You (Taiwanese version) 8. Star Trek The Next Generation 9. Lost 10. The Civil War
pleasantly surprised thee number one is a sitcom considering how important this genre is to tv, but no my beloved one day at a time did not make the cut
I don't know how MASH didn't make the list and my personal favorite, Supernatural could replace a couple of those. I never watched Roots, the Sopranos or Mad Men and wasn't fond of Seinfeld

This is such a generational thing - I’d put Twilight Zone, Star Trek or even Gilligan’s Island over I ❤️ Lucy - none belong on a Top Ten List. Really can’t compare cable/streaming era to broadcast era. It’d be interesting to do this by decade or genre.
@@michaellasumiso3462 easy pot shot because it's true. The Office, Fawlty Towers, OFAH, Monty Python, to name a few British shows, all have a case; other shows include Gomorrah, Narcos, Borgen, etc. I'm not saying all these deserve to be top ten but they should be in the conversation, but are never even in top 50 lists just because they aren't US shows.
@@vikdaddy so you aren’t saying they should be in the top ten, but you’re griping about them not being in the top ten. Makes sense. BTW I’d say The Office is a strong contender, but only if one considers the American version, which is derivative, but had a longer and far more successful run. The Brits have had some great shows, but that’s not the point here.
@@michaellasumiso3462 no, you're being silly. I said not ALL shows I mentioned should be in the top ten. Put your glasses on buddy. I'm sure there's plenty more shows too I forget or unaware of. Point is, English-speaking show bias is obvious here, and even more so if they're American. It's the same whenever Yanks refer to top ten sportsmen, it's the myth of American exceptionalism. Hence why you have a World Series etc despite it being only American teams!

I only agree with two choices: The Wire and The Simpsons. * Miami Vice * should definitely 100% be in the top 10!!!! WTF!? It was revolutionary!! Saved by the Bell, Family Ties, Gilmore Girls, V, My So Called Life, Veronica Mars, The Facts of Life, Ren and Stimpy, Moonlighting, should all be strong contenders for top 25 if not the top 10.
You can tell a bunch of "in the know" Millennials and their Gen Z interns made this list. MASH, Cosby Show, All in the Family, HOW DO YOU NOT INCLUDE DALLAS, WITH THE WHO SHOT JR STORYLINE, I wasnt a fan but FRIENDS defined 90's TV
i think you're confusing popular with best . MASH was great in the beginning but got very preachy towards the end and wasn't particularly funny by the end. Cosby Show (putting Cosby's horrific acts aside) is a fairly generic family sitcom. I'll agree All in the Family should be in consideration. Friends was just 90s comfort food, but in reality not funny. It lingered so long in pop culture because its stars celebrity off camera gave it enduring life. if we're being honest, it wasn't even among the top 3 quality NBC shows of the 90s (3rd Rock , NewsRadio, Frasier) were all way better
Twin Peaks missing in the top 10 is a crime!
YES
The Wire before Sex and the City made me laugh
The Wire is the GOAT by far and the list has some bangers.

No Twilight Zone?? You gotta be nuts
Mad Men is so dang good, glad it’s in the top 3. But hot take: Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad, though I know there’s no BCS without BB.
Saul > bb
Nope. BB is still way better. Better Call Saul is great and the lead is more likable but the plot of Breaking Bad is much more engaging.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show
Sopranos is the GOAT
The wire actually is but the sopranos is a masterpiece as well

No. Xx
GOT
Lost and the Wire ... How about Seinfeld ? I love Lucy ? Mary Tyler Moore ?
I only agree with two choices: The Wire and The Simpsons. * Miami Vice * should definitely 100% be in the top 10!!!! WTF!? It was revolutionary!!
Saved by the Bell, Family Ties, Gilmore Girls, V, My So Called Life, Veronica Mars, The Facts of Life, Ren and Stimpy, Moonlighting, should all be strong contenders for top 25 if not the top 10.
Dogshit list lmao
Sopranos at 3? Sex and the city above the wire ??? And NO TWIN PEAKS😂😂. AWFUL LIST
Fr man 😭😭
Twin Peaks is at #27 on full list
No Better call saul?
You can tell a bunch of "in the know" Millennials and their Gen Z interns made this list. MASH, Cosby Show, All in the Family, HOW DO YOU NOT INCLUDE DALLAS, WITH THE WHO SHOT JR STORYLINE, I wasnt a fan but FRIENDS defined 90's TV
i think you're confusing popular with best . MASH was great in the beginning but got very preachy towards the end and wasn't particularly funny by the end. Cosby Show (putting Cosby's horrific acts aside) is a fairly generic family sitcom. I'll agree All in the Family should be in consideration. Friends was just 90s comfort food, but in reality not funny. It lingered so long in pop culture because its stars celebrity off camera gave it enduring life.
if we're being honest, it wasn't even among the top 3 quality NBC shows of the 90s (3rd Rock , NewsRadio, Frasier) were all way better
Sex and the city in top 10? How did this garbage get here?
