I keep seeing the "Best TV Show" thread and the choices are not exactly what I would consider appropriate. For one, it is hard to call anything the best when you are comparing several different styles of shows. Also, the options left off many people's choices.
The intent here is to put up a poll after a short option gathering period. I know that I will leave off some shows, so I do not want to go ahead and make the poll. I also said more than a single season because there are some great shows that either only have one season or are just starting out (GoT, Spartacus).
