Way, way off topic - Best Series Ever?

Network TV or the pay channels (running or discontinued).

Off the top of the head here are some good ones (and in order of personal preference):

Six Feet Under
Sienfield
Soprano's (would have been #2 but the final scene was terrible)
Fantasy Island
Sex in the City
Deadwood (no idea why they took it off the air, perhaps I was one of the few who liked it!)
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Entourage
OZ
Grey's Anatomy

I know I am missing lots of good network TV stuff...

Hopefully we can pick-up some new shows that may be out, too.

TK

P.S. - If anyone lists "Mash" I am going to jump off a bridge!

The best 3 shows on tv right now. 24 is slipping though. Family Guy can be funny but rather droll at times.

Family Guy gets a lot funnier if you've just finished watching an episode of "Weeds" if you catch my drift...lol

What's amazing is that the wire has NEVER even been nominated for an Emmy, despite being about a billion times more creative than the Soprano's. David Chase just persistently shat on his audience, leaving entire storylines open and offering zero closure right until the end. Yet somehow the Soprano's was nominated for everything?

I somehow forgot to add family guy, beavis and butthead and ren and stimpy (the adult dvds)

And that episode of The Shield was pure genious. I cant wait for the show to get back on the air.

Does anyone in here watch Dirt on FX? I personally only saw one episode from last season, but I heard it's good.

Hey, I mentioned frasier...that's a kissin cousin.

Cheers always got way too formulaic for me to get into.
