Yeah same here. I never think of it when I'm asked my favorite TV shows though, probably because I've always watched it on Youtube.

The Simpsons is the only one I'd argue is a must top 3 TV show. Anyone that disagrees is the suckiest suck that ever sucked.

Speaking of the old black & white shows...I was really hard pressed not to work in the Dick Van Dyke Show.
He would make my Top 3 all time actor list.

I can agree with that.
Game of Thrones is incredible but it could end like crap. That is what happened to Dexter. The Wire and Breaking Bad are examples of how to end a series. Arrested Development is no doubt my favorite comedy. It edges our Scrubs. I rewatched the entire series of Scrubs on Netflix a few months ago. That show is still amazing.

I haven't watched Game of Thrones yet. No doubt that they drug on Dexter waaaaay too long. It could have been great. The more I'm thinking about it, there is probably some more to consider for my top 3. Band of Brothers was pretty damn good (not really sure if that counts as a TV show though).

I haven't watched Dexter(my mom watched it and told me a bit about it), but IMO those two shows are very different. I think GOT could end up shitting the bed, but it's based on Martin's writing and he's done a fantastic job so far. Now if he gets rushed or writes himself into a hole, that's a different story. Or if the TV series starts making bad adaptations to ASOIAF. But I would be surprised if the quality just dropped towards the end, especially because Martin is writing with a conclusion in mind and he's going to put a lot of these loose pieces and plotlines together. The HBO people are aware of the ending as well.

I think Game of Thrones will end up being in my top three. I know they are aware but they could still screw it up, Dexter is a perfect example of this.
I know the writers know how GRRM plans to end it and there are certain things about the series that are better. Namely the combination of books 4 and 5. My point was I couldn't put GOT in the top 3 because it could end horrible. It is currently my favorite show by far and it isn't close. Breaking Bad right now is probably #1 all time. Sons of Anarchy is pretty good as well.

I don't think Dexter went on too long it was just the last season. It was all over the place. He could have "died" but what was the point in Debra dying? What sane person would let their child go with a serial killer, I mean even Dexter. I wanted him to be "mortally" wounded and use that the fake his death or something. He could have disappeared and restarted killing. I would have been good with him "dying" and then it flashing forward to him somewhere else picking back up what he was driven to do. Same ending just done differently.

They? You know its adapted from a series of books right? Its not like Dexter where there is no arc across the entire series, where the story is constrained to the number of seasons they are contracted for... Where there is a team of writers and they don't know how many episodes or seasons they have to to create their narrative?
