filkertomSalon is debating which is the best TV show ever, The Sopranos or The Wire.
Granted that I've never seen either of them, I can think of lots of other candidates. Mystery Science Theater 3000, for starters. Babylon 5, of course. Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League (but not Superman, which still ain't close to bad). Animaniacs. Buffy maybe, Firefly definitely. The new Battlestar Galactica. The new Doctor Who (if you could take the Ninth and Tenth Doctors as a brand-new series, which I think you can at least make a case for). Gilmore Girls was damn close. I know lots of people love Heroes. And we can get into the wacky esoterica with Good Eats, Mythbusters, Beakman's World, and Iron Chef.
Not to mention The Mary Tyler Moore Show, All In The Family, M*A*S*H, The Twilight Zone, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, The Smothers Brothers' Comedy Hour, and several gazillion other worthy shows.
Heck, even the numerous letters responding to the article show how thoroughly "Best Ever" boils down to "The One I Like Most".
So, what would be your choices for Best TV Show Ever?
