IMDB has released a list of it's top 250 TV series. http://www.imdb.com/chart/toptv?ref_=hm_nf_ttv_sm
I immediately for one of my favorite shows, "Bakersfield P.D." It was listed despite it's 8.8 rating (more than enough to make the list). I guess it doesn't have enough ratings to make the list. Which justifies my belief it's the best TV show that no one saw. Here's the top 10: 1. Band of Brothers (2001) 9.6 2. Planet Earth (2006) 9.5 3. Breaking Bad (2008) 9.5 4. Game of Thrones (2011) 9.4 5. The Wire (2002) 9.4 6. Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey (2014) 9.4 7. Cosmos (1980) 9.3 8. The Sopranos (1999) 9.2 9. The World at War (1973) 9.2 10. Sherlock (2010) 9.2 I still haven't watched "Band of Brothers." It's curious that the 2014 Cosmos rates so high since everyone seems to feel it doesn't compare to the Carl Sagan version, which I liked. Some other gripes: The U.S. "Office" ranks 70th while the British "Office" ranks 110th. Hah! The British "Office" ranks in my top 10. "Luther," with its preposterous plots makes the list while the much better "The Fall" does not. "Mad Men" comes in at 111. "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" makes the list but Leterman's NBC and CBS shows do not. Neither does Johnny Carson. Too many damn cartoons. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
