Top 10 Best TV Shows of All Time

Television has come a long way since the days of black-and-white screens and just a handful of channels. Nowadays, there's practically an endless buffet of shows to choose from.

From mind-bending sci-fi series to gut-wrenching dramas, from quirky comedies to deeply nuanced character studies, TV has something for every mood, every curiosity, and every late-night binge-watching session.

The Top Ten

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad is an American crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan. The show originally aired on the AMC network for five seasons, from January 20, 2008, to September 29, 2013. It stars Bryan Cranston as a chemistry teacher who turns to methamphetamine production after... read more

Why is this lower than both SpongeBob and The Simpsons? Both of those shows have gone downhill over the years, while Breaking Bad hasn't.
Breaking Bad was consistently good throughout its entire run: fast-paced, clever storytelling, unexpected plot twists, and thought-provoking scenes. But most importantly, the actors. The people who starred in the show actually know how to act according to a certain scene in a drama series.
If you haven't watched this show, you're seriously missing out. Way better than Stranger Things and Dexter.

Breaking Bad has everything you could possibly want in a show, plus more. Every second of this masterpiece is absolutely brilliant. There's not a single bad performance by anyone. Breaking Bad has the greatest assemblage of characters I've ever seen. Everyone is incredibly fascinating. Walter White is one of the finest and most complex characters ever created.
The soundtrack must be mentioned as well, as Dave Porter's score is mesmerizing, and the great songs throughout the series are perfectly placed. I'm definitely going to watch it all over again. Breaking Bad is my religion!
The Simpsons

The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom created by Matt Groening. It originally aired as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show starting April 19, 1987, and debuted as a standalone series on December 17, 1989.
As of 2026, it remains the longest-running animated sitcom. The show follows Homer Simpson... read more

Easily the best show of all time. Matt Groening is so good, always taking the joke one step further. I started watching when I was three, and I'm still obsessed.

I love this cartoon. This show is one of my all-time favorites. Even though most people think that the old Simpsons episodes are better than the new ones, I actually love both the old and new. This show has great characters, great episodes, funny scenes, and awesome references to movies and shows. The list of things I love about it is positively endless.
I started watching The Simpsons when I was either 9, 10, 11, or 12 years old. I've watched it for a few years now and still love the show at the age of 14, which is my current age. Matt Groening is an awesome artist and is very good at drawing the characters, backgrounds, props, etc. He has to be one of my favorite artists of all time.
Besides loving the show, I also have some Simpsons comics, The Simpsons Family History book, a few clothing items, and the complete fourth season on DVD. I plan to get the rest of the complete seasons that are available. I hope that Fox, the network that airs the show, starts releasing Simpsons home media again, starting with the complete 18th through 27th seasons. I even play The Simpsons Tapped Out. It's a great app for those who love the show and are also bored. It remains one of my favorite shows.
SpongeBob SquarePants

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. It has become one of Nickelodeon's most popular and longest-running shows, attracting both children and adults.... read more

This is an AMAZING cartoon. SpongeBob SquarePants began in 1999. It didn't get much success until Season 2. Season 3 brought SpongeBob SquarePants to new heights, although a hiatus was going on in 2003 during this season due to the movie being made.
After the movie, things went a little downhill. Seasons 4 and 5 were still pretty good, but seasons 6 and 7 were pretty bad. Season 8 brought back some of the old humor, and Season 9 was even better than Season 8! A second movie had been released, and the seasons after that have been the BEST SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS SEASONS EVER! There are more movies coming out right now, and hopefully, SpongeBob SquarePants will stay as good as the first 3 seasons!
Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss. The show is based on the book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. The first book in the series is titled A Game of Thrones.

"Game of Thrones" is what happens when you choose a book that regular people would say, "This isn't doable with TV." Reasons? Cruelty, sex, morality plus wit, fantasy, and drama.
And boy did HBO's gamble pay off. "Game of Thrones" is the most clever, atmospheric, and epic show out there. The cruelty, sex, and bad morals of some characters that you may find yourself rooting for actually work because of how quality everything is on the show! The acting is too real - I mean, too real. I don't remember questioning one thing. The world of "GoT," for lack of a better word, is too real as well for its fantasy elements. Ice zombies, dragons, real. Damn.
And since when did fantasy become for non-fantasy fans if its name isn't "Lord of the Rings"? Good work to every working person on the show who contributed.
Family Guy

Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of Peter, Lois, their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their anthropomorphic dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog... read more

Family Guy is the best show ever. Although it has faced a lot of criticism for its content and humor, it can never be ignored as the best TV show of all time. It blends satirical and sitcom comedies, which makes a great combination. It also has Stewie Griffin, the best character ever in television history.
It is the only animated show to be nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, along with live-action real comedies. It is popular among everybody, hilarious to watch, and recognized as the best TV show of all time. It is about the Griffins, a dysfunctional family, consisting of: lovable idiot Peter, hot wife Lois, hated daughter Meg, fat stupid son Chris, diabolical genius baby Stewie, and sophisticated alcoholic talking dog Brian. They have many misadventures together or individually.
Please vote for this show. It is a superb satirical sitcom. If you have not seen it, watch and you will instantly fall in love. This is the best and perfect TV show of all time!
South Park

South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. The show centers on four boys: Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick, and their adventures in the fictional town of South Park, Colorado. It's known... read more

LOVE THIS SHOW! I hated when 200 and 201 got banned, but we all know why it happened, and hated when Chef died since he was a good character. I thought Cartman was funny, yet aggressive most of the time, and Kenny, a lovable boy who keeps on getting killed. I thought Cthulhu being in the show was a great choice.
A lot of funny scenes made me laugh, like in the movie when Bill Gates told the general about the new software and got shot (don't ask). Sometimes I think some of the jokes kinda cross the line, like that puzzle Randy did and said the word BLEEP out loud, and Chef's death! This show should go on for the years to come.

Worst show ever! I'm sorry to all the people that love this show, but I hate it. I've watched like 10 minutes of it in my entire life because my cousins watch it and I'm at their house all the time. It's so inappropriate.
I heard so much swearing and other ungodly things. I'm a devoted Christian teenager and I get very annoyed when people want to watch this show. Tip for you: never watch this show, especially if you are just a kid who doesn't know where babies come from. You do not want to learn it from this show.
The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is an American horror drama television series developed by Frank Darabont. It's based on the comic book series of the same name by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard. Andrew Lincoln plays the show's lead character, sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes, who awakens from a coma to... read more

I love this show. It should be number one. My favorite characters are Rick, Daryl, Maggie, Michonne, Judith, Carol, Aaron, Father Gabriel, Rosita, Carl, Lori, and Glenn.
There are times when they are happy and having fun, but there are also times when they are serious, and there are sad moments, like Glenn's death, which was the saddest death. But it is my all-time favorite show.

What got me into the show? The characters are just real people fighting for survival in all the ways you've seen before, and yet none of them are completely safe. One minute, they can be smiling over finding a can of food. The next, they get bitten, or they get kidnapped, or they get into a shootout with bandits or anything else that could go wrong.
Add awesome zombies, great acting, great effects, great writing, one of the best scores in all of history, likable actors portraying lovable characters you find yourself learning from, favoring, and even identifying with, and you have the greatest TV show ever made, based on a comic book or not.
Friends

Friends is an American television sitcom created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. It originally aired on NBC from September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004, spanning ten seasons. As of April 2026, the series continues to be popular through syndication and streaming platforms, though it is no longer part of... read more

I really love Friends very much, and I'm a big, huge fan of this sitcom. I absolutely love Matt LeBlanc so much because he's so handsome and cute, and I have a big crush on him. I seriously can't stop laughing because he has a wonderful sense of humor.

Whenever I feel low, this is the only serial I watch, and it really lifts my spirits. I grew up watching these friends, almost like my next-door neighbors. I feel I am a part of them, and they are a part of my life whenever they come into my living room.
I can't stop smiling even now after watching all the episodes 'n' number of times. They are like a ray of sunshine in my dark, cloudy days. Thank you, Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Ross, Joey, Chandler - not necessarily in that order - for being my best friends through the years. I have laughed and cried along with you. That is why my choice of the best serial goes to Friends.
The Office (US)

The Office is an American television comedy series that aired on NBC from March 24, 2005, to May 16, 2013. The show is an adaptation of the British series of the same name created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. It became a cultural phenomenon and is especially known for its mockumentary style... read more

Now, I may not exactly be an expert TV/film critic, but The Office is most definitely one of the best comedies out there, likely the best. It's also one of the best shows ever made. I have to give props to the original The Office in the UK, but the US adaptation is better (considering it had more seasons).
This show is genuinely funny and smart. The documentary-like style they went for absolutely works. Everyone kills their roles, and it all feels very real. This level of realism in a show is nearly unmatched. Did I also mention this show is absolutely hilarious? Jim's pranks on Dwight, Kevin doing Kevin things - just the comedic timing is impeccable.
Although this show is mostly a comedy, this show can blend in with many other genres as well, like drama. Most of all, it is so rewatchable, and I have no idea why anyone would not like this show or at least appreciate the work put into it.
Avatar: The Last Airbender

Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons from 2005 to 2008. It is set in an Asiatic-inspired world where some people can manipulate the classical elements using psychokinetic techniques based on Chinese martial arts, known as "bending."... read more

This deserves to be in the top ten. I absolutely understand it not being first, but it's just inspiring, influential, and developmentally peak. Absolutely recommend it. I think it deserves top 3.

It's hard to explain it all in one comment, but the show is well-balanced in everything. Great animation, epic music, awesome actions, well-developed characters, amazing actors and actresses, etc.
Though what's nice is the fact that the show can balance out serious moments and funny moments. It's not at all inappropriate or so kid-friendly that it's corny. Also, the show touches on concepts that most kids' shows wouldn't even think about, and yet they explain it in a way that kids won't be completely bored by it.
Either way, everything about the show is perfect and has obvious effort and pure optimism put into it. Both adults and children can find something to enjoy in this beautiful masterpiece of a show. Avatar: The Last Airbender is a one-of-a-kind show and honestly, I don't know if anything else will ever be like it. So for me, it is my favorite show of all time. For others, maybe not, but my experience with the show has been completely positive. Rating: Infinity points/10.

The Newcomers

?
X-Play

This show turned out to be a national spotlight for video game reviews, especially when G4TV was exclusive to expanded cable.
When the show ended in 2013, it saddened the audience so much. But moving on is a step too important to ignore.

The Contenders

Stranger Things

Stranger Things is an American science fiction and horror television series available on Netflix. It was created, written, and directed by the Duffer Brothers, Matt and Ross Duffer, and is also co-executive produced by Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. The series premiered in 2016 and quickly became a cultural... read more

How is this number 12? According to many sites, Stranger Things is often among the top 5. Plus, who doesn't love travel to dark reflections of worlds and flower-faced monsters? Plus, amazing characters.

This is one of the only TV shows that I couldn't get enough of. I finished the entire season 1 in about a week, and now I am just patiently waiting for season 2. The horror vibe, characters, and storyline were simply amazing. There were actual plot twists, and I felt sympathy for the characters - even for Steve, for some odd reason.
The characters were made perfectly and still have mysteries tied to them. What is Eleven's backstory? What's going to happen to Will now? How about Hopper? Hopefully, these questions will be answered in the next season.
There were plenty of funny moments, like when Eleven was about to change in front of the boys or when Lucas spat into Dustin's hand to demonstrate a spit shake, and Dustin just looked at his hand confused and possibly disgusted. Definitely one of my favorite shows, and I hope season 2 will be just as wonderful as the first.
Gravity Falls

Gravity Falls is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation. It first aired on Disney Channel before moving to Disney XD, running from June 15, 2012, to February 15, 2016. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel in the fictional... read more

Gravity Falls is what got me through sixth grade. I love this show, especially because it was made by the voice actor of two major characters in The Owl House, which is also amazing.

I love Friends, but all in all, Gravity Falls is undeniably my favorite show. I love it for so many reasons, so I'll just touch on a few. First of all, it has balance. It has mystery and the supernatural like the X-Files or Twin Peaks, but it also has humor like The Simpsons or Friends. It has outstanding character development, and every character has more than one side. The series-long love story (as all TV shows have) is actually interesting. (Blendin's Game!)
Dipper and Mabel have an awesome sibling relationship. They care about each other a lot but also fight sometimes. The main cast has great chemistry with each other. There are countless outside references, making it a show for kids and adults. The humor is clever and mature, not random, gross, dorky, or childish. The graphics are unique but cool.
Every episode works both on its own and as part of the series. The plots are well developed and cleverly resolved, not solved deus ex machina. The episodes are thirty minutes, which is one of the reasons everything else can happen. The show has a perfect mix of humor, mystery, emotion, development, and everything in between.
Every time I think, "This episode wasn't that great," and I rewatch it, it is always way better than I remembered. Somehow, the episodes get better each time you watch them. I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, who also served as executive producers alongside Steven Molaro. The show follows a group of socially awkward scientists and their interactions with friends and romantic partners. It featured several notable guest stars throughout... read more

Hilarious! I remember watching it the first time and nearly splitting a rib! I couldn't believe it because before, no other comedy had actually made me laugh. The entertainment wasn't ever that funny! But this show did it for me.
Then I binged the show over and over and over again, and now I've seen every episode like, five times. Haha, I don't know if that's healthy or not.

The Big Bang Theory must have some sort of force field around it that alters the laws of social hierarchy. While nerds are ridiculed in other situations by the general populace, they are found entertaining in the case of this show.
Being a nerd myself, I find it great that there is a show which requires a certain degree of scientific savviness to understand.
Seinfeld

Four single friends, comic Jerry Seinfeld, bungling George Costanza, frustrated working gal Elaine Benes, and eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer, deal with the absurdities of everyday life in New York City.
Seinfeld is a sitcom that originally aired on NBC from 1989 to 1998. It is often regarded... read more

How is this lower than Family Guy? SMH. Most of the humor in Family Guy is just random and comes from somewhere else, consisting mostly of cutaway gags that, while occasionally funny in a superficial sort of way, rarely add anything to the plot. The rest of the humor just comes from the characters, particularly Peter, acting foolishly for cheap laughs, as well as the ever-prevalent "offensive" humor designed to appeal only to the lowest common denominator by making jokes that are designed to spark outrage and get cheap laughs for the sole fact that they are offensive or politically incorrect. Not only that, but most of the characters are unlikable, and Seth uses the show and its characters to force his views onto the audience.
Juxtapose that with Seinfeld, where almost all the jokes contribute something to the story and relate with the themes, plot, and experiences of the characters in an episode. It isn't just funny for the sake of being funny. You can clearly tell that damn near every joke and even small standalone comments and lines were thought out with clear intent, not just thrown in to get easy laughs. Not to mention that many of the situations in an episode often overlap and intertwine with each other in creative and unexpected ways, tying each of the 3-4 plots together and showing how one small event can create a chain reaction.
I'll admit as an immature 14-15-year-old, I found "Family Guy" to be amazing, and as I said before it was because of the cheap, surface-level, juvenile, and crass humor that appealed to me at that age, but now, as an adult, I find most of that show unwatchable. If you want a good show with crass humor to watch as an adult that is actually funny and well written, then definitely go with "Married... with Children" instead.
Adventure Time

Adventure Time is an American animated television series created by Pendleton Ward for Cartoon Network. The series follows the adventures of a boy named Finn, voiced by Jeremy Shada, and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake, voiced by John DiMaggio. Jake is a dog with the magical power to change... read more

I've watched all of Adventure Time, I want to say, 8-9+ times. It is, in my opinion, not only the greatest kids' show of all time (along with Avatar: The Last Airbender) but also a contender for the greatest show of all time, period.
It's silly and fun at times but can also get sad, dark, and even profound, as exemplified in episodes like "I Remember You." No matter what age you are, I strongly recommend watching it.
I will say that the first season or two can be pretty slow, but the pace picks up, and it's absolutely worth it. That's about all I have to say. Bye.

I completely respect your opinion if you don't like this show. I'll listen to your opinion and try to understand, even if I don't agree. However, I am in love with this show, so of course, my opinion will be biased. I could write a whole essay (and I actually did) on why this is my favorite show, so I'll just shorten it a bit.
Many people who've never seen the show (which is perfectly fine) say it's either too weird, confusing, or immature. And I admit, that description pretty much sums up the earlier seasons when the main focus was about a boy and his best friend going on wacky adventures with lots of childish humor. But it evolved into so much more than that, as the characters grew up and matured along with us.
I can't begin to describe how much I love this show. Hopefully, others understand. The characters, the dialogue, the relationships, the drama, the happiness, the emotion, the bad, the good - the whole show is a rollercoaster. It has had very high highs and very low lows, all presented in such a simple way, but with so many layers.
I don't know, maybe it's not as good as I think. It certainly has some very questionable episodes and moments I can barely watch without being disgusted or offended. I mean, I'm not really sure why this is a kids' show. There are themes of cannibalism, lots of kidnapping, lots of killing, depression, and numerous relationship issues. In a few episodes, they get a little too suggestive with innuendos and such. Also, it's worth mentioning that without Adventure Time, several other shows probably wouldn't exist. I've laughed incredibly hard watching this, and I've cried more times than I can count. It has made me question so much in life and is one of the primary things keeping me going, one of the only things I have to look forward to lately.... read more
Supernatural

This haunting series follows the thrilling and terrifying journeys of Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers who travel across America to battle supernatural forces. After their mother was killed by a demonic entity, their father raised them to become hunters of mysterious and deadly creatures.... read more

You'll fall in love with everyone in this show, including villains like Lucifer and Crowley. And why is it the best show ever? Because Sam and Dean have a chemistry better than any other couple that ever lived. I promise. Sam and Dean. They are the reason this show is so good. The actors are amazing people in real life too, and that reflects in the show. The directors are geniuses! The music in the show is bound to make your taste in music better.
You'll fall in love with every single thing about the show: the Impala, Sam's puppy eyes, Dean's pie, his burger, our cute angel Cas. And you'll be so emotionally attached to them, you won't be able to leave them, because they are your family. That's why SPN is a family.
Doctor Who

Doctor Who is a British science-fiction television programme produced by the BBC since 1963. The programme follows the adventures of a Time Lord called "the Doctor", an extraterrestrial being from the planet Gallifrey.
The Doctor travels through time and space in a ship called the TARDIS, which... read more

The best, most detailed show in the history of television. It has so many qualities other shows have failed to meet. It has amazing actors and actresses. The show breaks boundaries by including so many different people. The show shows that being gay is okay. It embraces variety and tells you it's okay to be who you are. No one will judge. Doctor Who embraces everything. That's why I and so many other people just adore it.
With new and old faces, lesbian lizard women, evil yelling salt shakers, aliens, and Captain Jack Harkness's pickup lines, there's nothing to hate about this show. Sci-fi, horror, action, adventure, historical fiction, drama, romance - Doctor Who has it all. Consider watching Doctor Who, the best show in all the universes.
How I Met Your Mother

How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom that originally aired on CBS from September 19, 2005, to March 31, 2014. The series follows Ted Mosby as he recounts to his children the events leading up to how he met their mother. The show is set in Manhattan and features an ensemble cast including Josh... read more

Okay, I agree all the other shows are excellent, but trust me, How I Met Your Mother is the best among them. It's because it has everything: comedy, romance, friendship, love lessons, life lessons, philosophy, etc.
It teaches you how to live your life and how to deal with it! I've learned a lot in these nine seasons of How I Met Your Mother. I've watched the whole series more than five times. Still, if you ask me whether I feel bored watching the same thing again, my answer will be no!
Watch it, and you'll understand the greatness of this sitcom!

Hands down, the best TV show ever. From its comedic casting to its awesome portrayal of characters and flashbacks, they really put a great deal of effort into making you feel like part of the gang.
I really like the balance between making you laugh and having sympathy for the characters. The only hitch is the ending, though they were hinting at it since the very start.
Lost

Lost is an American television drama series that originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company from September 22, 2004, to May 23, 2010, over six seasons, comprising a total of 121 episodes. Created by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Jeffrey Lieber, the series follows the survivors of a commercial... read more

After thinking about the question for a while, I have to conclude that LOST is the best television series to ever air. It's just incredibly well-written and thought-out. It can get confusing, especially in season 5, but that's one of the great things about it. It's intelligent because that's how the story happened to turn out, not because it had to be or wanted to be. I will forever regret not watching it until five years after it finished.
Now, how the hell is it that the likes of Family Guy, South Park, even The Simpsons are higher than this? I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not even that is an appropriate excuse for something as grotesque as this.
GET LOST!
Regular Show

Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series follows the lives of two friends, Mordecai, a blue jay, and Rigby, a raccoon. They work as groundskeepers at a local park and often find themselves in surreal... read more

My favorite show of all time. Other than seasons 3 and 5 (season 3 had some of the absolute worst episodes in the show and had good episodes that weren't even that good for this show's standards, and season 5 was very forgettable for the most part), the entire show was always top quality up until the very last episode.
The plots were always at least somewhat original to the show, even in the episodes with similar plots. There was nothing regular about this show. In fact, it's probably the most unique show that I have ever watched, and I also love it for that reason. Other than Margaret and C.J., I adored all of the characters and the way each one acted.
There were some other very small problems in the show, such as seasons 1 and 2, as well as the first episode of season 3, having very choppy animation. Overall, I can't forgive this show enough for even existing. It's just that good.
Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Adult Swim. The series premiered in 2013 and follows the misadventures of an eccentric scientist, Rick Sanchez, and his good-hearted but easily influenced grandson Morty. The show is known... read more

Rick and Morty is just a blast of adult animated comedy sci-fi thrown in our faces. And it's awesome. The characters are just funny. Rick is an amazing grandfather and scientist. Morty is just a funny, enjoyable character to watch. Definitely recommend this show.

I LOVE THIS SHOW! My dad introduced me to it, and it always makes me laugh. Rick is hilarious, Morty is basically me, and Jerry is just... Jerry. A 10/10 for me.

How is Family Guy 5 and this 98? This is the best adult cartoon ever, even better than The Simpsons.
American Dad

American Dad! is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company and currently airs on TBS. It was the first television series to premiere on the network's Animation Domination block. The series premiered on February 6, 2005... read more

Like any adult animated comedy, it can be a real pick-and-mix bag. If you decide to marathon a show like this, expect to notice significant shifts in both quality and themes between seasons.
Of all the adult animated family sitcoms, though, this is the one I have least often found boring, disgusting, or abhorrent. Let's not dance around the issue - those kinds of moments come with the genre. American Dad is the one I've seen get the most visible effort put into it, to the point it does have real changes in the status quo that span seasons sometimes, and (while silly) plotlines that can span over multiple episodes. It creates a bit of intrigue when they pop up, but you know it's pretty much all a massive joke anyway.
Last time I watched this show was about a year ago, and it still felt like it had people who cared about the show and characters working on it. When a show manages to get over 10 seasons and has that sort of dedication, it's worth a look.
Futurama

Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The show follows Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy who's cryogenically frozen and wakes up 1,000 years in the future. It blends satire, science fiction, and social commentary.

I like Futurama, but it's not better than The Simpsons. It was not going to last as long as The Simpsons. This was a parody of sci-fi shows and in the year 3000.
If the year 3000 ever happens, then do you think it would be like Futurama? Even though we wouldn't know unless there would be a time machine invented to see the future. Do you want to drink some Slurm? Anyway, I'd prefer Busted with the underwater.

This show had so much potential and needs to be brought back. The comedy was perfect. There were so many interesting characters that could have had whole episodes about them.
The X-Files

The X-Files is an American science fiction drama television series created by Chris Carter. The original series aired on the Fox network from September 10, 1993, to May 19, 2002. It was later revived for two additional seasons in 2016 and 2018 and also inspired two theatrical films.

I had only recently started watching this series on Netflix. This show still holds up above most others today. The only thing that gives it away as an older show is the dated technology. Corded phones, anyone? Ha ha! Mulder and Scully are excellent characters and are quite entertaining to watch. David Duchovny is hilarious as Mulder, and Gillian Anderson is perfect as his skeptic, scientific-minded partner. I had a recent interest in watching it for the UFO, paranormal, and government conspiracy plots, but I was surprised to find that this show has a lot more to it than that and really gets you invested in the duo. Some of my favorites so far have actually been the more comical ones ("War of the Coprophages" and "Bad Blood," for example).
Pokemon

Pokémon, abbreviated from the Japanese title Pocket Monsters and currently marketed in English as Pokémon: The Series, is a Japanese anime television series adapted for international audiences. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, and in the United States on September 8, 1998.... read more

Pokémon! I watch it with my little sister all the time! We criticize trainers' battle strategies, call out what they should do, and make fun of certain characters. But watching this show with my little sister has made some of the best memories in my childhood. I remember giving my sister a Jigglypuff stuffed animal. It was awesome. All of the games, shows, and Pokémon characters have a special place in my heart. Anyone saying this is a bad show just hasn't watched the whole thing. The first episode with Pikachu and Ash is so emotional! Anyways... Pokémon all the way!

I haven't seen XY yet. Black and White was good, but the show seems to be going downhill (not as much as people say, though, because the show is still awesome). The first three seasons, however, are amazing and matched only by Dragon Ball and One Piece in anime, and the best series is the third: Diamond and Pearl.
If you haven't seen this, you have no childhood.
