The 100 Greatest TV Shows of All Time

A ranking of the most game-changing, side-splitting, tear-jerking, mind-blowing, world-building, genre-busting programs in television history, from the medium's inception in the early 20th century through the ever-metastasizing era of Peak TV BY ALAN SEPINWALL

The list starts with the 100th show and counts down to the number 1 greatest show of all time, according to a vote by TV stars, creators and critics.

I have not watched all of these shows (or even want to watch some of them). I must admit, there are a few on the list that I had never even heard of. But I am sure they all must be very good to make the list.
