I just revised my list adding my new favorite show: Legion. This show is amazing! It's the biggest mind f**k since Twin Peaks:
Upstairs/Downstairs
Cosmos (Carl Sagan version)
Twin Peaks
House
Hill Street Blues
Fargo
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Better Call Saul
The Twilight Zone
Legion
Honorable mentions:
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
MST3K
The Civil War by Ken Burns
Parks and Recreation
The Sopranos
And yours would be....?

Dexter (2006)
Hannibal (2013)
The Fall (2013)
... last 2 programmes are well done, despite the severe miscasting problem common to both.

An excellent list, Shiny. The only one I don't care for is Seinfeld. I know I'm in the minority here, but I just never found it funny.

Moonlighting
Ally McBeal
The Practice
The West Wing
Boston Legal
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Picket Fences
Sports Night
The Newsroom
Breaking Bad
Hmmm....I've watched Ally McBeal and Sportsnight.
😎
Well, if you liked them, you might like some others on the list. Ally McBeal was created/written by David E. Kelley, who also wrote The Practice, Boston Legal and Picket Fences. Ally and the Practice even had a couple crossover episodes.
SportsNight was created/written by Aaron Sorkin, who also created The West Wing, Studio 60 and The Newsroom.
These are my two favorite television writers. Kelley has written a number of other shows, and they both have numerous Emmy Awards. They have also both written movies, though Sorkin has had much greater success in this area.
Anyway, I recommend both, highly. But I gotta give Moonlighting the top spot. So creative, so fun, so witty. It took so many chances. Not all of them paid off, but when they did...:) :) :)
Nope. Just liked Ally McBeal and Sportsnight.
😎
I know. I'm saying you might want to check those other shows out since they were written by the same person.

Yes, I know what you're saying, but not interested. Sorry.

Well, your loss.

I'll survive somehow, Hoss.

No, you won't.
Sure I will, Skeeter.

Skeeter?
shareAre you watching Big Sky? Pretty good.
share
Just messin' with ya, Billy Bob.
As to Big Sky, I think it's pretty bad. It's woke nonsense with hokey caricatures, poor writing, poor direction and poor acting.
Other than that.....
😎
I wasn't too impressed by the episode tonight, but the others I liked, though, yeah, certainly not subtle.
This is a different type of show, though. Although Kelley "created" it, it is based on a novel, and tonight's episode had two different writers, so I'm not sure what his involvement is, exactly, Joe Buck.
Mercifully the winter finale is next Tuesday, Bubba.

Ya know, you're kind of a douche, hip hop.

And you're kind of an asshole with no sense of humor, snowflake.

I have a sense of humor, but you're just rude. You call me names, you ignore my suggestions, you criticize a show I like. I get the feeling you're kind of laughing at me, not with me. There's a difference.

If you want to try a modern show try Firefly or Dexter. Firefly is getting a little old now. 2003.

I did hear that Dexter was good, but there are like eight years of shows. WAY too many to start watching!
