    Its probably because there is only one star trek movie every 3 years and no tv episodes isn't?-while for me,I still have lots to watch having only been a fan since watching the last movie.

    1) Seinfeld
    2) The Simpsons
    3) I Love Lucy
    4) Only Fools and Horses
    5) The Sopranos

    Obviously too many important shows to reduce to just five so I tried to pick a varied list and shows like Blackadder and Friends have been missed out despite their impact. Also had to miss out arguably some of the better modern shows Arrested Development/ Community/ Parks and Rec/ The Daily Show because their impact will be much more evident in the future.
    Thumbs up for not just listing your favourites.

    1. the walking dead
    This is a great series, very much looking forward to the third series, if it continues until the end of the story (of the same standard) then I think it deserves maybe 1. position, but not just yet....?
