This is tough to argue either way. My one gripe with the Sopranos is that, compared to some other shows on this list, it had lower low points. The Columbus Day episode is a genuinely terrible hour of TV. Season Six Part One is also very weak. I guess they should get credit for how experimental all that stuff was though. The Dream Sequences when Tony was "Kevin Finnerty" didn't really work, but they were somewhat groundbreaking. The Leftovers dream sequences were far better, but do they happen at all if the Sopranos didn't try it first?
Just as bad as ever from that rag. I'm glad I never paid for HBO, etc. This looks like opinions from the 20-40 crowd that stopped working 2 years ago.According to Rolling Stone. I demand to see the poll methodology! As with everything else Rolling Stone does, this is warped!

Yeah, the Leftovers is the TV version of the Velvet Underground. People who know love them/it. But it's just not as popular as the critical acclaim tends to be.
Girls is similar to Curb is ways with how damned awkward it is - which is the point
I love Barry , east bound and curb .
Righteous gemstones is very funny but I tuned out after the first season
Of course. As much as I love Curb it would be silly to argue otherwise. Curb I’m sure is limited in that regard because it’s strictly an adult show on HBO. But even still, it could never even approach Seinfeld in that way.
Just seemed like the same jokes and story line - once the characters were fleshed out
Gretzky all time leading scorer
Lemieux the most dangerous goal scorer ever - if my life depended on a player scoring I’m picking Mario
Orr ahead of his time as a fast skater
What about that 70’s Show? I might have missed it but didn’t see it in the list.
I must be missing out. Five of the top ten shows I either haven't ever heard of or never saw an episode.According to Rolling Stone. I demand to see the poll methodology! As with everything else Rolling Stone does, this is warped!

What, you can mention Barnaby, Cannon and Kojak but not add Columbo at the same time?? Come on man.
I saw a recent article saying how the show Friends is too offensive today! Seriously?
Likewise not to the people you think .I saw a recent article saying how the show Friends is too offensive today! Seriously?
was never a huge fan of the show but i've been watching reruns and it's a pretty vanilla show to be honest. besides a bunch of straight white characters, i dont see how people could be upset..I saw a recent article saying how the show Friends is too offensive today! Seriously?
The point is, there is nothing unusual about a social group of 5-6-8-10 friends, that is always together, that is 0% diverse, even today.
Today they would take offense at the learning disable class being called "sweat hogs"
'24' and The Blacklist are two of my favs. Gripping and exciting. Don't even like to take a bathroom break when shows like these are on.
Just curious since you have more insight to these things than the rest of us, who is the people that "we think" and who are the others that it is offensive to?
The thing is back then......you have to be careful of "presentism". You know people applying standards today to back in the past and the times and society then.
For instance, Archie's racial slurs, it was not poking fun at minorities, it was poking fun of old, working class white guys like him that used it.
Or Klinger, trying to dress like a women to get a Section 8. Obviously that would not play now, but it did then. Both of those can be correct.
Or Jack Tripper feigning to be gay in order to be able to live with 2 girls. Obviously that is outdated, but to people back then, "living in sin" was taboo.
Times change, we evolve. Some cases, devolve. But that doesn't make what in the past was acceptable and now isn't "cancellable".

Any list that ranks I love Lucy in the 30's and Fleabag at 5 is to be dismissed.
Yep. And Letterman over Carson. How you folks doing? Let's chat this afternoon or tomorrow.
Feel free to demonstrate those posts here are evidence
I’m not worried about straw man arguments
It’s one of my favorite shows and I’m a huge fan of most of the seasons from the 90’s, but I refuse to even try watching any episode that aired past 2003, and even that’s pushing it - there’s people who would probably knock that down to as low as 1998-99 or so. Ridiculous that it’s still airing.
It’s like Family Guy, both made some really great shows in their formative years, but both went on … and on …. and on … I think Seinfeld had it right, after 10 years is too long, and after that you risk breeding contempt. I haven’t watched either show very much beyond the 2010s, and likely there are some good episodes each has made in all those years, but I just assume that by now they’re just hanging on.
Rectify is better than 80 shows on this list and that’s being conservative.
Fleabag at 5 is a joke and that’s coming from someone who really liked it.
Looks like I need to start The Leftovers for the fifth time. Maybe I’ll get past the third episode for once.
