Top 5 TV programs of all time

[BigPoppa]

Not individual episodes, but the show for its whole run.


1) Hill Street Blues (this is how you make a cop show with real characters)
2) Northern Exposure (near-perfect ensemble comedy)
3) Seinfeld (as funny now as it was then)
4) Deadwood (violence, sex, a real plot, imperfect heroes, great villains)
5) Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (humor, great interpersonal relationships, and some of the best single episodes of any show ever)

Dexter and Heroes haven't been around long enough to make my list, but I'm hoping they will prove worthy.

Yours?
