Timeout's 100 Best TV Shows of All Time You Have to Watch

"Television used to be considered one of the lowest forms of entertainment. And for a long time, it was hard to say that television's poor reputation was undeserved. A lot has changed. Television is now the dominant medium in basically all of entertainment, to the degree that the only thing separating movies and TV is the screen you're watching on. Now, if you don't own a television – or a laptop or a tablet or a phone – you're basically left out of the cultural conversation completely. The shift in perception is widely credited to the arrival of 'The Sopranos,' which completely reinvented the notion of what a TV show could do. Chiseling the list down to a neat top 100 is difficult, so we elected to leave off talk shows, variety shows and sketch comedy, focusing on scripted, episodic dramas, comedies and miniseries. So don't touch that dial – these are the greatest TV shows of all-time." - timeout.com
