The Wire The West Wing The Sopranos The Shield   Are the very top of the tree, lots of others I’ve really enjoyed but they’re on another level entirely.

Favourite multi-camera (lough track / live studio audience) sitcoms (this one is dedicated to Numero)

 

Seinfeld
Fraser
Only Fools and Horses
Yes Minister / Prime Minister
You Rang M’Lord? (the most underrated British comedy ever)
Friends (first four seasons)
Will and Grace
Everybody Loves Raymond
King of Queens
Alf (guilty pleasure)
Partners (2011 one, with David Krumholtz, the most underrated sitcom in history, axed after 16 epoisodes)
Dear John (US and UK, a bit niche)

I did this with a group of friends a while back, but we tried to make our top fifty. I got 25 and an unordered list of others, plus a couple of disclaimers (a list of 'haven't seen or only partially seen' and 'can't remember, so will rewatch before listing'). Anyway, here's a half-sorted, not 100% (not sure I can ever get there because it's hard to compare certain shows) top 25. 

 

 

1. The West Wing

2. Six Feet Under

3. The Sopranos

4. Better Call Saul

5. Breaking Bad

6. Game of Thrones

7. Shogun

8. Band of Brothers

9. Hannibal

10. Mr. Inbetween

11. Battlestar Galactica

12. Entourage

13. Rick and Morty

14. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

15. The Shield

16. Lost

17. Spaced

18. Haunting of Hill House

19. Rome

20. Rescue Me

21. Fringe

22. Dexter

23. Blue Eyed Samurai

24. Fleabag

25. Lonesome Dove


25 shows and no mention of The Wire, that’s a neg.

Well, I did say 'plus a couple of disclaimers (a list of 'haven't seen or only partially seen' and 'can't remember, so will rewatch before listing')'. That includes The Wire, which I've seen most of but didn't really enjoy so I need to rewatch and go again. I think it's way overrated, so it probably won't make it. Almost definitely won't be in my top ten, which is rock solid.

I know we’ve spoken about the wore before and you said you struggled to get into it and thought it was overrated. 
 

I just wasn’t going to waste an opportunity to neg you.

I haven’t seen Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!. I quite liked Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated but thought it lacked some of the charm of the original series.

 

Yeah, it was good but I think they were going for a teen audience with stuff like the relationship subplots and some darker moments. Be Cool is more humorous, and worth a watch if you can get past the zany art style. It's on ITVX if you're interested.
