Top 5 favorite (completed) television shows

[Darth Zangetsu]

I have reading comprehension issues....

Didn't see the (completed) in the title.

Edit time!

I was actually genuinely asking. I absolutely loved the first 5 or 6 seasons, but then life got in the way, and I have not been able to watch any of it since then. I am currently rewatching it from the beginning on Netflix. It is an awesome show.

That says something though. In my top 5 and not even done yet. Love that show.

I enjoy a lot of shows when they're on the air. But sometimes they just end poorly or I lose interest or they don't have that rerun stability the classics do. I also started this thread to find shows I haven't seen that I know are solid and have worthwhile endings.

Twilight Zone was a great one I didn't think about.

Yep, it made my list. Definitely a very unique television show for its time... and even for today. It just goes on and on.

Night Gallery was great too.

I did enjoy it as a kid, but it really doesn't hold up. I also loved The Night Stalker as a kid, but same problem.

Don't worry, to be rectified one day.

After S5, it loses some edge, IMO. Still good, but not S4-S5 good. This past season though (S9) really ended on a high note. Definitely gained some steam for S10.

I think what impresses me is just the longevity of the show. Sure, it has its ups and downs, but how many shows can you watch they went 10+ seasons.

That happens to me a lot. Then, I regret it. But end of catching it on Blu or DVD. Redemption!

If you're not into war flicks you won't dig it like it should be dug. I love my historical/military stuff, of any era - if there's fightin' I'm there

I like war films, I just wouldn't watch them often. They're not exactly escapist like sci-fi is.

In order from least favorite to favorite:

Only have four! Because all of my other favorite shows haven't ended yet. Though Damages would still be number 1. Homeland, The Newsroom, House of Cards, SVU pre-season 13, etc.

I like a bit of comedy but personally there are none that I'd have in my top shows list.
