Put MASH at the top of your list.

including Doc Martin.


I'd list mine, but it would be a lot more than five, especially if I included shows that are no longer on. Remember all the cowboy shows in the 1950s? They've been replaced by "reality" shows.

Doc Martin is hilarious and a favorite.

Try "Call the Midwife", another Brit show and equally entertaining.

I've seen that advertised, and I know it's popular, but the subject matter doesn't appeal to me.

For me:

Dallas, LA Law, Hill Street Blues (Sipowicz -- one of the all-time great characters on television, IMO), MASH, Law & Order. I could name about another five or six that could be on that list.

My top 5 are Game of Thrones (but not the last season), Breaking Bad, the Sopranos, Mad Men, and Black List.

I’m surprised that “Cheers” hasn’t populated anyone’s list. And more recently, “Parks & Recreation “ would be on my list.

Um, today's "Law and Order" is about as political as a show can get.

I personally haven't watched television for 30 plus years, I think the last show I watched was "Barny Miller"

"Barney Miller" was classic!
As was "WKRP in Cincinnatti"

My wife and I are on our second time through viewing the series Doc Martin. This time on Acorn TV. If you've never seen it, or all of it, since PBS didn't air the last 2-3 seasons, I highly recommend subscribing to Acorn if for no other reason than to watch an hour of Doc Marin each evening. You'll go to bed better for it.

So here they are. My top five and beyond.

Doc Martin.....Great cast, humor, drama, continuing story line, and a rolling cast of interesting characters. Must be watched to the end of the series.
Law and Order.....Great drama which stayed true and didn't become political
The Honeymooners.....The template for all comedy series to follow. Outstanding cast of characters.
Friends.....Better writing and continuity of story than Seinfeld
Seinfeld.....Much ado about nothing, which is the point, but continually, nothing. Friends progresses
Mary Tyler Moore Show.....Outstanding, outstanding casting
Dick VanDyke Show.....Where we first came to love Mary, another great cast

Ok, there were so many other great shows like The Twilight Zone, etc. These are my tops. My big point? Don't miss watching all 10 seasons of Doc Martin. It's one show that you can sit down with your wife or husband and enjoy together.
