NYT list of 100 best TV shows of tue 21st century

15 that I have seen at least once. 30 rock and breaking bad are the two I’ve seen in their entirety.

Ten out of 100, and the only ones where I watched more than a couple of episodes were Breaking Bad, Curb Your Enthusiasm Schitt’s Creek and Bourdain. I guess I’m not much of a TV series fan.

Interesting autocorrect: Schitt’s Creek corrected to Schist’s Creek.

Never watched Breaking Bad, huh?

[jon-nyc]

I never did. I see it on the list on planes now and then. I should give it a look.

I've only seen 2. The Office (UK version), and some episodes of The Great British Baking Show. Most of them I don't even recognize the names.

I am thinking I'd like to see Downton Abbey at some point. It gets talked about so much.

I have seen at least one season of 29 of them. Current favourites from that list: The Bear, Slow Horses, Schitt’s Creek. The Pitt, and Severance.

I would argue that The West Wing and MASH both deserve spots on that list. Edit: never mind - just realized it said 21st century.

The first season is brilliant. I think each season gets a little more soap opera-y but Maggie Smith makes it all worth it.

The Wire has been so widely praised over the years that I feel negligent not to have seen it. Of course, times have changed, and it might seem somewhat dated, but I still think I should see some of it.

Some of this has to do with my age and when in my life I was watching TV.

Here are the top 20 shows of the 1960s:

1. The Twilight Zone
2. Star Trek
3. Bewitched
4. I Dream of Jeannie
5. The Flintstones
6. The Beverly Hillbillies
7. Bat Masterson
8. Batman
9. The Addams Family
10. Bonanza
11. The Jetsons
12. Get Smart
13. The Dick Van Dyke Show
14. Mission: Impossible
15. Green Acres
16. Leave It to Beaver
17. The Munsters
18. The Carol Burnett Show
19. Hogan's Heroes
20. Gunsmoke

I have not only seen all of these, there’s isn’t any of them that I’ve only seen one or two episodes….

[jon-nyc]

Only a couple there I haven’t seen
