Stacker's Best TV Show Released the Year You Were Born

"While not every year of television has been part of either the first (1940s–1950s) or current Golden Age, there have always been outstanding and award-winning shows. Between the comedic brilliance of Lucille Ball on "I Love Lucy" to contemporary favorites like "Game of Thrones," TV has produced a wealth of noteworthy programs. Stacker has compiled a list of the best TV shows released over the last 70 years, pulling data from IMDb and ranking series by user ratings. To be considered, shows from 1950 to 1989 had to have at least 1,000 IMDb user votes, and shows from 1990 to 2019 had to have at least 5,000 user votes. Any shows that shared top ratings for a single year were chosen based on which had the most IMDb votes. The year 1953 had to be calculated using a lower vote threshold since there were no shows with 1,000 user votes or more. The ratings were current as of January 29, 2020. Taking it all the way from 1950 to 2019, see the list to discover the top shows for each year."
