I have watched all of these shows except for Freaks & Geeks, Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, Firefly, Big Love, Buffy, and Wonder Showzen.

1. Freaks & Geeks was wonderful

Well written and well acted.

[NewJeffCT]

10. I need to watch that show

never seen it, but I keep having people tell me I'd love it.

13. YouTube has the pilot episode

2. Good list of stuff to check out.

:D

[Mojambo]

3. I gotta check out that "Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!"

Seems up my alley.

4. I never saw Veronica Mars but Kristen Bell is usually good in anything she does

[EndersDame]

5. Stargate SG1 should have made the list

there are a few shows that start in the 90s and end this decade. Stargate should have been on the list

[Vidar]

7. I agree.

6. I thought F&G aired in the '90's. I'd add 'Pushing Daisies' .

or 30 Rock or Boston Legal.

[Yavin4]

8. 30 Rock Is On The List

Boston Legal isn't though.

[peekaloo]

9. Thanks, I missed it.

weak ass coffee :-)

11. Numbers 1-3 sum it up for me.

The Wire, The Sopranos and Arrested Development all belong at the top of the list. Glad to see Lost made it as well.

[Initech]

12. I'd add Reno 911 and the Daily Show / Colbert Report to the list.

[Yavin4]

17. I Forgot The Daily Show

It definitely should be on that list.

[Duer 157099]

14. Great list! I've seen every episode of their first 9 shows

and after that, only about half or less. So there's still gold in them thar hills for me to mine!

22. Show #10 is in some ways the best

especially if you like The Wire you should check out The Shield. By far the most gripping all around storytelling outside of The Wire. It would probably be #4 on my list and definitely before Breaking Bad, even though I love Breaking Bad. Check it out - The Shield rules.

15. Thanks!

I'll bookmark that and use it to update my netflix queue later.

16. Shocked that the show Ricky Gervais says is the best British comedy since the Office didn't make it

It's an absolute CRIME that How I Met Your Mother makes this and Peep Show doesn't.

[doc03]

18. Of all those shows I saw a handful of the West Wing episodes

a few minutes of a Sopranos, that's it.

[realisticphish]

19. I'm a huge Firefly nerd

But Arrested Development was also awesome, as is The Venture Brothers. I've been meaning to check out Dexter and Deadwood. This is a good list to start finding new shows.

The only problem is, I usually find shows RIGHT when they end (see "Firefly")

[kwassa]

20. "The Wire" is #1, as it should be. Best tv series EVER.

[slay]

21. They nailed #1, #2, #3, and #4

all MUST see - especially #1: The Wire. Haven't seen Mad Men, but Breaking Bad, LOST, Deadwood, and The Shield, fuck what else can ya ask for? I'd say they are pretty right on with this killer list! (HBO's Rome and Carnivale were great too).
