I’m going to piggyback on your comment and say that why didn’t they put like the Nickelodeon shows, Disney Channel/XD shows, the Cartoon Network shows and Cobra Kai on the list? Those are shows I resonate with. And, here we get some shows that people have heard of like The Simpsons, Strangers Things and Breaking Bad. And some shows on this list that no one has heard of. I apologize for my rant, but I don’t know who in the world would put together lists like this. 📺

Monty Python is a big omission. I'd also nominate WKRP as a perfect time capsule. Oh yeah, and the original Star Trek.

Seinfeld should be WAY higher on the list. Friends is so overrated- I can't believe you ranked it higher than Seinfeld. Shows that should be on this list: X Files, Star Trek (original or Next Generation), Manifest, Better Call Saul, Fraser.

I got into Twin Peaks during the pandemic, and it's definitely a show unlike any other, with its collection of kooky characters, the surreal elements, and the mystery at the heart.

I know that this is a bit late to the party, but now that Hulu added the first 20 seasons, you should really check out the OG Law and Order, which gave us SVU and the underrated Criminal Intent with Vincent D'Onofrio before his days on Daredevil as Fisk.

[@80s_Film_Fan]

No X-Files? Massive fail not including that show on this list. I personally love Supernatural too, which ran for 15 seasons. But Supernatural probably wouldn't have existed without the X -Files, which was clearly a huge inspiration on Supernatural's "monster of the week" format intermixed with a main story ark running though the entire show

[@mikememine1423]

Kolchek - The Night Stalker was the inspiration for the great X - Files ... really creepy and well done for early Seventies TV

Have Gun - Will Travel was such a great show... Way above most Westerns

[@christopherrichardson8559]

How is The Sopranos not #1?!

Mojo, why don't ya'll ever put black shows on your list? There are black shows that are just as good or better than most of these white people shows. The only time I've seen a lot of black celebrities on a list is when you were talking about who went bankrupt. Girlfriends, The Jeffersons, The Chi, Living Single, Martin, The Coby Show, Greenleaf....just to name a few are really good. Please expand your horizons Mojo. This list is sad.

[@mrsmilescam1550]

Is Ozark really not on this list??

[@teppeiando]

Ozark is like Breaking Bad jr. Not significant like most of these

[@codyhiginbotham6616]

BLUEY should also be included Yes, I know it’s primarily considered a kids show, but it’s so much more than just that. It’s one that even adults can enjoy and it’s full of lighthearted and imaginative episodes to entertain anyone

[@rossmccarty5357]

Supernatural and Sons of Anarchy deserve spots on this list

[@lukejustus2573]

Only reason Sopranos didn’t get top viewership over breaking bad is cause when it aired you had to have an hbo subscription. That was expensive back then. My dad had a buddy record them on vhs that’s how he watched it with my mom they weren’t counted a viewers tho

[@mooney6889]

I get what you’re saying however you have to have cable to watch either show either way it’s something you are paying for so I think believe money was a factor in that regard and as far as the list I think watchmojo was putting the shows up and not ranking one over another in that regard..

[@amandabeaty1492]

I quote the Simpsons all the time. I worked with a fella who's last name was Bush. So whenever I saw him, I'd say, "Hellllooo Mr. Bush!" One day he stops me and says, "You know you don't have to call me Mr. Bush. You can call me Wade." I said, "Well, I know but that episode of the Simpsons... I went on describe the episode to a response of blank stares. The only people who got my Simpsons references were in Dublin. Also, nearly all of these are American. What about shows like Peep Show, The Mighty Boosh and Garth Merangie's Dark Place and Faulty Towers and dramas like Wallander, Shetland, Luther. Why watch American tv when you have British telly?!

[@majormccoy2659]

I'm supposed Fargo, Monk, Scrubs, This is Us, and Justified didn't make the list.

[@stephensinko9841]

Fantastic list, but no Boardwalk Empire or Peaky Blinders. I love that you have The Shield. Breaking Bad as #1 is 100% accurate. Keep up the great content.
