Agreed, but I'll toss Breaking Bad in there as well.Originally Posted by Stormcall
Not many really like SoA. I think they're missing out. Really well written series. If you're a fan of The Shield then SoA is in the same vein.

Probably would've been Dexter until the quality slipped a bit in the last few seasons. Now it might go to Breaking Bad, which started out as a good show but not in Dexter's league and has evolved into an incredible show. Though I haven't seen the latest season yet.
Hmm, I notice a distinct lack of older shows... I guess there's not much TV drama I like.
If I lived in a universe where Heroes was cancelled at the end of season one it might be a contender too... as it stands it's a contender for WORST TV show ever lol. How did it get so bad so fast? And don't say writer's strike, that was only the beginning.
Well it sure doesn't pull its punches, but it's a great show. Originally Posted by piin

How has that show progressed? I watched season 1 and enjoyed it well enough, started season 2 and just couldn't get back into it. Does it pick up? Originally Posted by Solidito

I personally don't count shows until they complete... otherwise, GoT would be gaining ground quickly. Originally Posted by Adam Jensen

Well, i love it, season 3 has been good upto now. But truthfully, if you wasn't really into season 2 i doubt you'll like the rest as it's very similar. Originally Posted by ItachiZaku

Breaking Bad is at the top of my list followed by The Sopranos, The Wire & Justified.

The Wire
Best Tv show ever.“A man will contend for a false faith stronger than he will a true one,” he observes. “The truth defends itself, but a falsehood must be defended by its adherents: first to prove it to themselves and secondly, that they may appear right in the estimation of their friends.”

Probably the only syndicated TV show to ever be nominated for an Emmy award for Best Dramatic Series.
Star Trek: The Next Generation.
That show did some amazing numbers.
the pilot's ratings were higher than those of many network programs.[15] Despite the handicap of each station airing the show on a different day and time, often outside prime time, by the end of the first season Paramount received $1 million for advertising per episode, more than the approximately $800,000 fee that networks typically paid for a one-hour show;[11] by 1992, when the budget for each episode had risen to almost $2 million,[16] the studio earned $90 million from advertising annually from first-run episodes, with each 30-second commercial selling for $115,000 to $150,000.[17][18] The show had a 40% return on investment for Paramount, with $30 to $60 million in annual upfront net profit for first-run episodes and another $70 million for stripping rights for each of the about 100 episodes then available, so it did not need overseas sales to be successful.
Despite all the handicaps of syndication, TNG was a mint for Paramount. This was a license to print money, it was so popular.
A lot of what TNG did paved the way for other shows.

Spartacus with Andy Whitfield in the main role. No other show moved along at a such a fearless pace. No other show has managed to top itself week after week to the most satisfying season ending climax! No other show had so much action and titillation, yet also real drama and humor, and the performances to back it up.

While some may consider M.A.S.H. a sitcom, it had more than enough drama-ish moments to definitely be worth a vote here. I grew up watching it (it was mydad's favorite show) and it is one of the best t.v. shows ever made
