There's been quite a bit of talk of spin-offs of Game of Thrones.
I was wondering what everyone's favorite TV series were?
My top three:
1) Game of Thrones
(Even though the last season was horrendous and failed to wrap up one of the best series in the history of television.)
2)Homeland.
Claire Danes was incredible as Carrie Matheson.
3)House of cards.

Being a Floridian, Miami vice put South Beach/Miami on the map. It's a defined the eighties. Don Johnson was the envy of many Men. I think what I remember most is the soundtrack.

1) Breaking Bad
2) Better Call Saul
3) Archer
4) Battlestar Galactica
5) Deadwood
6) Firefly
7) Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
8) Sons of Anarchy
9) Sopranos
10) The Wire

The order of the above changes depending on mood but that pretty much covers the best TV ever made.

@Baditude ... That 38 ft scarab was incredible. The entire show was just cool. Who could forget the Testarossa.

I agree with every show you listed except The Sopranos. Being Italian and growing up all around the mafia in Staten Island, New York, the Sopranos was more of a caricature than a real life portrayal of what the Italian mafia was truly like.
Tommy Bilotti, Paul Castellano Joe Watts, O'nealio Dela Croce, Sal Barbado and John Gotti were not nice men. When I was 12 or 13 ears old I idolized them but as I grew older I realized what terrible men they truly were.
This you may enjoy and it's a excellent true story of the fall of Paul Castellano and Thomas Bilotti and the FBI agents that took them down as well as John Gotti planning the hit on Paul and Tommy once the FBI indicted them.

Who can forget the queen of comedy. I can remember watching reruns by my grandmother's house while she babysat for us.
After nearly 60 or 70 years this is still classic comedy at its best.
I don't know if everyone knows but Lucy is the reason why the Star Trek franchise exist today.
Lucy wrote a letter to Gene Roddenberry explaining to him about reruns. Back then no one thought to rerun a show. Star Trek exists 60 years later because Lucy loved Star Trek and we love Lucy. Lol
