Compsognathus 09/26/22 3:19:18 PM #66:	There is so much TV, spanning so many years and genres that these lists are almost impossible to judge. I try to look at in in aggregate and honestly, while I have differences in opinion on the placement, this is a good list and it doesn't have any shows where I'm like "what are they thinking?" I can see why each show placed. TheGoldenEel posted... I think theres discussion to be had on whether the peaks of a show negate the bad seasons like, objectively Game of Thrones and The Simpsons were among the best shows of all time in their respective genres for at least several seasons. Do shit seasons negate that? arrested developments initial run absolutely deserves a place on the list; do the bad Netflix seasons mean it should be left off? I dont think so imo The way I see it the Simpson's had at least 8 seasons of peak sitcom quality. Very few shows get to 8 seasons period and they never operate at that high of a level for that long. The fact that it eventually became mediocre doesn't undo the fact that their is an entire long-running A+ show there. TheHoldSteady posted... If Breaking Bad continued after 2013 for three more decades of shit would you feel bad for 87-year-old Bryan Cranston peddling meth in the nursing home cafeteria? Would it still be #3? The advantage the Simpson's has here is it doesn't do a long-running narrative. There is no story arc that needs to be completed. If you just stop watching after season 9, you aren't losing anything. Breaking Bad as a serialized drama does have to factor being viewed as a single cohesive story experience. So it does get hurt if it can't stick the landing. Game of Thrones is a good real-life example of that. Shitty payoff does in fact make the earlier seasons less good. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:968308981] in Rolling St...

Well yeah, there's no arguing that at this point The Simpsons has only been 1/3 of an excellent series with a decade of greatness followed by 2 decades of "meh" BUT as Compso says most shows don't even get that much. --- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Do not write in this space. <cite>HylianFox posted [p:968310721] in Rolling St...

HylianFox 09/26/22 4:51:58 PM #90:	There's also the issue of what makes a show "good". Like, is it actually good, or did it merely have some sort of cultural significance during its initial run? Lost and Game of Thrones are great examples of shows that look bad in retrospect, because they both had shitty payoffs. As a result, it's rather hard to go back and watch them again knowing what you're gonna get. --- THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Do not write in this space. <cite>HylianFox posted [p:968310858] in Rolling St...
