Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest TV Shows Of All Time

Sopranos as #1?

Bleh. It started wavering in Season 2 and was hit or miss for me thereafter....

I really liked the season with the school kids. It was perfectly done--showing the struggles those poor kids face. That season certainly deserved accolades.

My favorite character was Omar. His "code." Totally awesome.

I really liked Cutty, the guy who got out of prison and then realized he wasn't up for the game anymore. His struggle to adjust to life outside of gang banging was well portrayed as well.

The cops were well played. All of them. The dumb white, bald cop (Herk?) was hilarious. And, the smart, dry black lieutenant, Daniels---excellent acting. Female cop, Greggs, was very likable. Bunk---who wouldn't like the homicide cop?

If anything, I give the show an A for it's character development. Even the bad guys: Stringer, Marlo, Avon, Prop Joe...all excellent portrayals.

I loved how they demonstrated jury nullification when Clay Davis talked his way out of that embezzlement charge.
 
trying to view the RS list froze up my computer but here are the best shows IMHO

some I know are on that list-some are not

The Original Law and Order-stayed relevant for years-incorporated almost current USSC decisions into the plots.
Hill Street Blues-tremendous acting and scripts
Firing Line-Buckley's wit set a standard for this type of show
NYPD-much like Hill Street blues
The Good Wife-every major character was brilliantly done
Jeopardy-the best of the game shows
MASH-got better as it aged
Miami Vice-cutting edge in several areas including Jan Hammer's score
Star Trek-sort of set the stage for Sci-Fi prime time shows
 
another show I really liked that I am sure is not on anyone's list was the british show Merlin about a young king arthur and his young magician assistant. Very underrated with wonderful acting

and for sci fi Buffy the vampire Slayer was incredibly well written and played on several different planes meaning my then grade school son enjoyed it as did many people my age
