Slow-day OT - The Best Around

[Angie]

Recency bias is tough to overcome. I started bingeing Sopranos late, and once I did, I got through the whole series in like 4 months. Lots of 4am bedtimes those days. That show has got to be a top 5 all timer.

I was going to also do a "top ten of 2019" thread to sort of combat that. But I realized I don't watch a ton of shows at the time they're on, so I think my top 10 for this year would not be a full ten:

1. Russian Doll
2. What We Do In the Shadows
3. Better Things
4. Mindhunter
5. Big Little Lies (season 2) - I hate the slut-shaming in the season, though, so sort of want to take it off

In no order:

Archer

Seinfeld
Simpsons
Chuck
Family Guy
Hogan's Heroes

Chappelle's Show

Just missed based on lack of volume (love them both, but I haven't watched either a bunch)
Arrested Development
Always Sunny

My list, 1 thru 10. There may be others, but in terms of "appointment" TV, wanting to see new episodes right away, these are the ones. I will say that Firefly was a DVD box set from my sons, and I basically binged it long after it had aired, and West Wing, Game of Thrones, and Walking Dead I didn't discover until they had already aired a season or two, but was hooked after that. I still think of West Wing as the best written, best acted show I've ever seen.

What in the actual f&ck...I don't see Dallas on anyone's list.

Do yourselves a favor and find seasons 1-3 of Dallas and watch those babies. 24 karat solid gold 1970's drama series. The cars, booze, sexy '70's ladies, and J.R. Effing Ewing. It has no peer!

Chuck was great!

[JayV]

No particular order, I'm thinking more of shows that have ended than are currently going probably from different decades too

Friday Night Lights - great binge watch if you never watched the series
Seinfeld
Dukes of Hazzard
The A Team
MASH - I didnt really get into this show until after 2000 while in my 20s and now I watch it all the time when I find it on.
Home Improvement
The Big Bang Theory
Parenthood

This is wrong and you should feel bad.

 

[JayV]

No list so far includes The X-Files.
That needs fixing.

'St. Elsewhere' on Wednesday nights was a religion in my house growing up. Great show, great cast with young Denzel, Ed Begley, Howie Mandel.

'Dallas' just missed the cut for me but you couldn't be more right. Big boobs, cowboy hats, excess and probably the best heel in TV history.
