Best TV Shows Ever

Ever wondered which are the best TV shows produced? Here's a list of the best TV shows of all time which we loved to watch.
Some made us laugh and some made us cry. We loved the stars for their talents and we hated the others for their guts. But love them or hate them, we couldn't take our eyes off them. Some had a good story while others had good actors and some were a mix of it all.

Best TV Shows of All Time

The telly's been around for a while now and it is an unthinkable task to try to compile a list of the greatest TV shows ever made. How many shows have come and gone? An what about the actors, the revenue, the TRPs? The number of 'fans' the show has on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter? It's really hard to judge the defining aspects of a great show, because all these are situational variables. Today TV shows generate a lot more revenue than they used to before, so that would be an unfair comparison. And the social networking sites weren't there, where people could sign up to be fans. No lists of this kind are, and will be, opinionated. And so it is true in case of this list. These are shows which I have watched and personally I wouldn't mind watching the reruns of! And most of the stuff I like are comedies, so this list would be heavily biased in favor of the comedy shows. But then where's the fairness in all of this!

So here's an idea. I'm going to split this list in 3 parts. The best of the comedy shows, the best drama series and the best game shows/talk shows and reality shows. So here's a list of 15 awesome TV shows in each category in no particular order.

  • Seinfeld
  • Mind Your Language
  • The Simpsons
  • Friends
  • Southpark
  • Full House
  • Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
  • Small Wonder

  • Grey's Anatomy
  • The Sopranos
  • The West Wing
  • Star Trek

  • American Idol
  • Dancing With the Stars
  • America's Next Top Model

Of course this list is bound to spark off a lot of debates with stuff like why I didn't include this show and how 'X' show is way better than any one which I have mentioned in here. But hey, then again we all have our favorites don't we?
