I find this list of "50 Greatest TV Shows Ever" rather lame.

But, I'm bored.

1. Bold the shows you've watched every episode of
2. Italic the shows you've seen at least one episode of
3. Post your answers


50. Quantum Leap
49. Prison Break
48. Veronica Mars
47. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
46. Sex & The City

45. Farscape
44. Cracker
43. Star Trek
42. Only Fools and Horses
41. Band of Brothers
40. Life on Mars
39. Monty Python's Flying Circus
38. Curb Your Enthusiasm
37. Star Trek: The Next Generation
36. Father Ted

35. Alias
34. Frasier
33. CSI: Las Vegas
32. Babylon 5
31. Deadwood

30. Dexter
29. ER
28. Fawlty Towers
27. Six Feet Under
26. Red Dwarf

25. Futurama
24. Twin Peaks

07. Friends
06. 24

05. Lost

01. The Simpsons

Prison Break, Veronica Mars and CSI some of the best shows -- ever?

Ahh, this list is from some British magazine. That explains a good portion of its lameness.

Exit question: which TV shows should have been on this pathetic excuse for a list?

Band of Brothers is wonderful.

Major Winters (Damian Lewis from LIFE) is fantastic.

Very Jack like in some respects.

The best part of BoB are the interviews with the surviving members of Easy Company, including Major Winters. He has this...regal, majestic, calm -- sort of zen like -- quality about him. Very impressive.
