Justified is absurdly low. Top 59 AT LEAST.
As is The Office. Total joke being ranked below the UK one, and I was on the UK bandwagon before the Us version even hit the air.
Twin Peaks doesn't belongbon this list, neither does Freaks and Geeks or Better Call Saul- and I love all three of those.
Terriers is missing.
The Real World has no business in this realm.
No King of the Hill: list is shite.

Lolno. BB will easily surpass become the new "The Wire" where it is the consensus GOAT. People are just too skiddish about how recent it is to just come out admit it.

I'm not a fan of most of the top 10. It's Always Sunny is criminally underrated.

How is Parks and Rec ranked higher than the Office?
Because it's a better show.

Including mini-series in this list seems strange. And if you do, where's Lonesome Dove?
Also missing: The Honey Mooners, the Twilight Zone.... I'll stop right there.
On second thought, it's obvious that the list was compiled by a Millenial. Not that they're wrong, but it seems impossible to compare TV shows from different generations.
Parks and Recreation is a good show for example, but it's meant for today's audience. How can you put that show ahead of The Waltons, or MASH, or Newhart, for people from those generations? You can't.

The Honeymooners at #71? Sheesh.
I've come to believe that there's a difference between better and greater. A measure of a great show is how it measures up to other shows in its era. By that measure, Honeymooners is far too low on that list.

Not very PC these days when Ralph is highly implied to be a wifebeater and threaten her with it constantly.

I'm glad Rick and Morty made the list, even with it's short run. It has the potential to move up pretty high on that list if they stick around. Like South Park, it's simultaneously an incredibly smart while also being incredibly dumb.

Here's how I describe Rick and Morty when explaining it to others: South Park is to Libertarianism as Rick and Morty is to Nihilism.

Mainly women like P&R over The Office because, for the most part, they don't appreciate humour to the same extent men do but are easily entertained by seeing a woman on a screen. I'm including metro-weinies as women for the purposes of this post.
Big P&R fan here, but I can approach it objectively and say the Office is the better show because I don't have to make every funny female comedian a symbol of empowerment.

I'm not necessarily saying I take that stance, but I can absolutely understand it.
Office seasons 2-4 (for sure, I'll even give you 5) are up there with the greatest run of seasons for a comedy television program EVER. I'm talking elite, A+, doesn't get better type of run. But when (SPOILERS to be polite..)
-Jim and Pam get married
-Jim is co-manager with michael
-They turn dwight into some ladie's man bagging a ton of hot chicks
-Charles comes on board
-Jim/Pam have a kid and are insufferably awful
-Michael leaves
it just goes completely off the rails. From elite TV to unwatchable in the matter of a season or 2. Then the whole wandering the in the wilderness with sabre, kathy bates is now running things, daryl somehow goes from warehouse foreman to office boss, etc...it's just not even in the same stratosphere as it was.
Compare that to parks and rec where basically seasons 2-7 (eveyr season on the show aside from the shortened first season [which I also ignored for office as well]) are all good to really darn good to frickin great. The highs may not have been QUIIITEEEE as high as office's highs were but it was far more consistent. It hit it's stride around season 3 or so and never slowed down and was great all the way through to the very end. You damn sure cna't the same for office.

No full house, saved by the bell, family matters, boy meets world. I mean wtf. My 8 year old self would kick IGN's arse
I'm assuming "reality" TV is excluded otherwise you have to included shows like American Idol, Survivor, Real World, and the bachelor as they were all pioneer programs for today's reality TV lineups
ETA: I see the real world and survivor, not sure how American Idol was left off with the craze that created. I feel like the bachelor has been airing for 20 years, I'm sure it's terrible but there's no denying that teenage and 20 something girls are obsessed with it

LOST being higher than Seinfeld is a fricking joke.
In fact, I'd put Seinfeld at 5.
