Not a great list, but interesting. Includes some shows we would think of as miniseries. Also, remember that Empire is a British magazine.

	No Breaking Bad? gtfo

	chriskotx:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 00:57 GMT	0 points
	Any list of quality tv shows that includes Family Guy and South Park has no credibility with me. The list is unabashedly contemporary-centric. Nothing from the 50s, 60s, 70s but Star Trek and Fawlty Towers.

	Heroes? WTF?

	needapausebutton:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 01:20 GMT	1 point
	OK, I tried to play this game thinking of how a British magazine would rate them. I was sure "The Prisoner" would be near the top, no wait I was sure "The Avengers" would be near the top, no wait

	needapausebutton:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 01:22 GMT	3 points
	Oh yeah, I did like Buffy, but is Joss Whedon a stockholder in the magazine (three in the top 21)?

	cscholes:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 11:49 GMT	2 points
	strange list, maybe they should stick to films!

	twarner50:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 19:04 GMT	3 points
	@chriskotx What's so bad about South Park? Sure, it's vulgar, but it's had a huge impact on the medium of television and has had episodes of brilliant comedy and satire. I can find many more shocking inclusions on this list, especially given the high number of notable exclusions of great series.

	mrness86:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 23:06 GMT	2 points
	I agree, what an awful list. I assumed that the original Prime Suspect would be on there. But how could there be space on the list with such modern classics like Heroes, Prison Break and Family Guy.

	cgrapes429:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 03:35 GMT	0 points
	@chriskotx Television of the past decade has been much better than nearly anything from the 50-80s. It's not "contemporary-centric," it's accurate.

	twarner50:	Oct 11th, 2011 at 18:52 GMT	1 point
	@cgrapes429 Family Guy is better than All in the Family? Heroes is better than Hill Street Blues? The Sopranos is better than My Mother, the Car? (Okay, the answer to the last question is yes.) While I agree with you that the overall quality of TV programs has greatly improved in recent years, this list is way too contemporary-centric in that it includes pretty much every great show from the current era plus a lot of average-to-below-average ones, while it excludes many classics from previous generations.
