18 Best TV Shows of All Time, Ranked by MovieWeb

"In the past two decades, television went from being seen as a detriment to intellectualism to the new book reading in terms of time and money required to be a studied consumer. Just as literary classics like Pride & Prejudice or The Grapes of Wrath can spend years on your list without you ever actually intending to watch it, classic TV has become simultaneously treasured and laborious for the average viewer who used to just unwind after work with a sitcom. Regardless, works that have sifted through the ever-expanding collection as standouts artistically, culturally, or innovatively have earned their positions as murals on the Santa Maria delle Grazie or games in the Coliseum: they're what we as a society revolved around at this point in time. Do you need to watch these shows? No. Watch New Girl again because you love it and T.V. is meant to be entertainment. All you owe is to appreciate that these shows altered the landscape of contemporary society." - movieweb.com
