O.T: G.O.A.T TV Series

Submitted by MichiganFan1984 on

Hi everyone. The GOAT series part 3 was not as interesting, so I have decide to go back to film. This time TV shows for part 4. I have a feeling I’m going to show my age and weirdness here. 

I’m going to set the criteria as follows; 1. You can escape from your life by watching. 2. You wish it could be real and you could be in it. 3. It is no longer running. 4. It had at least 3 seasons. 5. No cartoons. We will do top 5 and man was that hard. I could have easily done top 15. A lot of what people will say would have been in my top 15, but I’m old school so.....

Here is my top 5

1. Married With Children

2. Sanford and Son

3. Friday Night Lights

4. Happy Days

5. Saved by the Bell

Anyone agree with me? What is your top 5? Remember, follow the criteria if possible.

Seinfeld will probably always be number 1 for me.

True Detective (season 1) was fantastic.

Then probably some order of Entourage, The Office, Parks and Rec, The King of Queens, HIMYM, and Home Improvement to round out my Top 10.

Game of Thrones

Breaking Bad

American Crime Story: Assassination of Gianni Versace - Darren Criss, who played Andrew Cunanan, was UNBELIEVABLE. He deserves an Emmy for his work. The rest of the show was okay but he was phenomenal.   

Simpsons (before mid-2000’s, the episodes since then have been awful)

Kenan and Kel - my guilty pleasure 

Big Bang Theory - Kaley Cuoco goes through the motions but the rest of the cast is amazing.

Quantum Leap should be on this list.

Otherwise, MASH, Wild,Wild West, Hogan's Heroes and Captain Kangaroo all have a place on my list of favs.

I would have said Underdog and the Jetsons , but will abide by the no cartoon rule.

Damn you and your 'minimum 3 years' rule

  1. The Newsroom
  2. Justified
  3. West Wing
  4. Boston Legal
  5. Deadwood

Lose that rule and Firefly and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip are probably numbers 2 and 3.  (Yes, I like Aaron Sorkin.  Leave me alone.  All four of his would be in my top 10)
