Screenrant's 55 Best TV Shows of All Time (May2024 Update)
5 more since the last ScreenRant list, but changed so much since last year that 'Better Call Saul' now ranks higher than 'Breaking Bad' (previously #1)
"The best TV shows of all time span various genres, topics, and generational conflicts, significantly impacting culture and the television medium. Once seen as inferior to movies, TV has produced prestige shows, classic sitcoms, and sketch comedies that have shaped cultural consciousness and changed audience interactions since the 1950s. These shows, chosen from a vast history, are celebrated for critical acclaim, beloved legacies, and cultural significance. While prestige dramas often dominate "greatest shows" lists, the influence and popularity of groundbreaking horror, legendary sitcoms, and sci-fi hits are equally important. Screen Rant's list of the best TV shows of all time uses a holistic approach, considering awards, critical and audience acclaim, cultural impact, influence on TV, and overall legacy." - screenrant.com
