I think that was well-written, Mr. LaRue. I'm sure no one likes to read that their pick for best tv show of all-time sucked but personal taste can go a long way. IMHO it sucked too though. But it did help launch a very successful infomercial career for Suzanne Sommers!
Top 10 Series of all time
- Thread starter incognito
- Start date
Dragnet - Changed and defined cop shows
24 - return of the serial, but on the tube, great idea
Get Smart - one of the funniest, best written shows ever
Star Trek TOS - The series that challenged society on so many levels
Band of Brothers - if this does not make war unthinkable, nothing will
Rome - historically lovely, delightful details in the costumes and the social mores of the time
Dexter - like in Dr. Strangelove, you root for the moral evil, showing that in reality nothing is black or white.
True Blood - sexy escapism, Twilight for adults
Six Feet Under - a bit of a soap opera, but it pushed the boundaries about relationships and what is or is not acceptable. Better than average acting for TV
Carnivale - just a fun little series.

If you like Homicide Life on the Street, you should also check out HBO shows "The Wire" and/or "Generation Kill" if you haven't already.
Both are created and produced by David Simon who was creator and producer of Homicide.
