GOT - Show is just amazing its unpredictability and the heart break from key characters you learn to love makes it amazing.
Friends - No matter when no matter how many times i've seen it, i can still watch this show
Scrubs - there was a meme when fb 1st got 'big' in australia and it was 'i learn my life lessons from scrubs' for me there was some truth to that
Seinfeld - Hilarious another show i can still watch never going to forgot the soup Nazi
Boston Legal (Seasons 1-3 became garbage after that) - Show was great the 1st 2 seasons in particular was just good tv with interesting drama - unfortunately as it went on it simply got shit and ended terribly

Damn. Can't believe none of you have watched LOST.

There, finished the comment for you. IMO Lost was terrible
I hated it at the time, found it on Netflix recently and tried again…nope, made it through 2 episodes.
Tons of people watched Lost. It was just very mediocre.
It's people's top 5 TV series, not name all the TV series you've watched.

In no Particular Order.
The Simpsons
Breaking Bad
Rick and Morty
Mr Robot
Game of Thrones
What about Blue Exorcist?
It can be in the honourable mentions :)
It's honestly hard to take any List that doesn't feature the Simpsons seriously for many reasons, most of which the sheer content in comparison to other shows.
My list:
- The Simpsons
- Bones
- Avatar: The Last Airbender
- Charmed
- Dragonball Z
Mentions: Unreal, Satisfaction USA, Naruto, Hunter X Hunter (2011), Teen Wolf, House, Kill la Kill, Future Diary, The Block, Survivor, Orphan Black, Prison Break, I dream of Genie, Seinfeld, Friends, Spartacus (Starz), Game of Thrones, Akame la kill

Counting is hard :p
Breaking Bad
Family Guy
FRIENDS
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Sherlock
Sarah Connor Chronicles (really disappointed this ended)
Battlestar galactica
Game of thrones
V
Vikings
Ditto on Sarah Connor Chronicles. I felt it got better and better towards the end, it felt like a great setup for another season, and then it just ended. Presumably too many people had stopped watching earlier on to make it viable.
The Last Ship
The Man in the High Castle
House of Cards
The Strain
The Crown
Community
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Hannibal
Sopranos
Deep Space Nine

South Park
Sons of Anarchy
Survivor (US)
The Office (UK)

Hey Hey It's Saturday (this and It's A Knockout we the "big deal" family shows we watched together growing up)
Other good ones
John Safran Vs God (Race Relations was also good)
The Dream with Roy n HG
Westworld
The Footy Show. Another big deal watching show for the family. Haven't seen it in the last few years but it seems to have gone to shit, all the same jokes about cross-dressers and a way-past-his-expiry-date host.
Honorable, everyone else mentions:
GoT
Twin Peaks
House of Cards
Sopranos
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Short sitcoms:
Peep Show

The New Statesman
Yes Minister
Frasier
Futurama
Drama:
Sopranos
Murphy's Law
The Shield
Boston Legal
Sherlock
Peep show owns
True, but I was left with nowhere to put Frontline. Peep Show is the newest interloper of those, and yet its very last scene of is all too familiar to us.
There's newer dramas that might arguably be better. I deferred to the older shows anyway. I loved Boardwalk Empire and Hell On Wheels.
The Expanse is awaiting an audience too.
Orphan Black looked good; critically acclaimed and all, but the other half didn't fancy it so I couldn't commit the time.
"I'll never be rid of her".
Doctor Who
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Midsomer Murders
Downton Abbey
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

The Wire
Vikings
The Office (US)

In no order (and keeping it to drama, rather than comedy and animations)…
The West Wing (kinda lost its way and got a little self-important after season 5)
The Newsroom
Dexter
Boardwalk Empire
Mr Robot
Always up to talk tv shows :P
Brooklyn Nine Nine
iZombie
In The Flesh
Stretchers
Superstore
Honorable mention: Blue Heelers. Watched it from about age 7 or 8 and it got me hooked on cop shows from then on.
Black Mirror
Dexter
Sherlock
Fargo
Luther
From what's new to me at the moment:
The Walking Dead
Archer
Robot Chicken and the theme song
Fast N' Loud
Diesel Brothers
Vikings
GOT
Always Sunny
30 Rock
Fargo (except season 2)
ORPHAN BLACK - I can't believe its taken page 2 before this is listed. Amateurs. You can thank me later, and then edit all your lists.
It came 6th on everyone's lists.
It was incredible when it was about the different personalities and differences. But as soon as it became conspiracy focused nearly 100% it started to become generic. You could argue that it was the premise the entire time, but honestly it became quite different.
So just watch the first 2 seasons then. Its still head and shoulders better than most of the stuff on these lists.
I thought it was average.
