1) The Wire
2) The Sopranos
3) Better Call Saul
4) Neon Genesis Evangelion
5) Breaking Bad
6) Rick and Morty
7) Batman: The Animated Series
8) Shameless (Seasons 1-4)
9) The Simpsons (Seasons 1-7)
10) Six Feet Under

I really do like Mayans but its not near SoA for me. I don't think the characters are near as unique and well drawn as the Sons. I love EZ and Angel, I like Coco a lot too (despite him starting to make some really stupid decisions) but I just don't think the rest of the club is near as memorable.

Greetings,

Not sure if there is a seperate thread just for Animated series or not, but I'm just going to list a few of my favorites. Also I won't be listing Anime here, or rebranded Anime for western audiences such as Star Blazers or Voltron because that list would be just way too long. This is strictly my favorite animated series produced for western audiences:

In no particular order:

Young Justice
Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Thundercats (2011)
Masters of the Universe (2002)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Star Wars: Rebels
The Transformers
Beast Wars Transformers
Transformers Prime
War Planets/Shadow Raiders
The Pirates of Dark Water
Spiderman:The Animated Series
Batman:The Animated Series
X-Men (1993)
Justice League/JLU
The Simpsons (S 1-10 are Gold, 11-13 I personally think still have comedic merit, the rest I'm just watching out of a sense of completion)
Futurama
The Critic
The Tick
Freakazoid
Animaniacs/Pinky and The Brain

I have no idea how I forgot this. The first seven seasons of The Simpsons are brilliant and most definitely in my top ten.

I was watching the episode the other day where Homer got accused of sexually harassing the babysitter when all he did was grab a piece of candy off of her trousers. I was literally pissing myself laughing. Bare in mind that this is a 30 year old episode and I've seen it numerous times through the years and it still made me laugh.

Ugh, that's just brilliant. The Simpsons was so 90's yet also so timeless...

X-Files
Doctor Who (Tennant and Capaldi are my faves)
The IT Crowd (funniest comedy ever made IMO)
Batman: The Animated Series
Batman (1966)
Star Trek TNG
The Mandalorian

And I’ve got to hand it to Seinfeld, M*A*S*H, and Cheers. Those three really stand the test of time.

I would include Looney Toons/Merry Melodies as possibly my absolute all time favorite, but I don’t really consider those tv shows since they were originally theatrical shorts.
