    Agreed. The only show after "The Wire" that I'd watch is "Entourage" and I most certainly don't consider that remotely in the same quality league as their other output. Gone are the days when we had "Oz","Six Feet Under", "The Sopranos", "The Larry Sanders Show", "Carnivale" and so on
    You people should start watching Curb. It's pretty, pretty, pretty good.

    I am going to nick the top six off you chalkitdown and replace the other four with the following.

    Firefly (best TV sci-fi ever)
    Frasier (consistently great over 11 seasons)
    Dexter (best new show on TV)
    Star Trek TNG

    My list is in no particular order..

    Crikey. Can believe I forgot This Life.

    Should be in anybody's top 10. Also, the first series of Batchelor's Walk - and I dont say this lightly - in many ways better than This Life.

    I think any Top 10 list across all genres is just too idiosyncratic. I mean how do you compare a comedy like Only Fools and Horses with a drama like The West Wing or a scifi series like Babylon 5? I think if you restrict it to best sci-fi, best british comedy etc you can have a more interesting conversation as there's some criteria for comparison. Just my two cents and perhaps a future thread.

    That said, if I had to pick one TV series as the best of all time, as a "desert island DVD" it would be Star Trek - The Next Generation.

    Alot of animation and HBO programs, quantum leap was a narrow miss but nostalgia may have skewed my memory.
