Twin Peaks. It's one of the most original shows I've seen, and I think it manages to strike a perfect balance between mystery, drama, comedy, and general quirkiness. The third season in particular is a goddamn masterpiece imo. Also Dale Cooper has to be one of my all time favorite characters. It's definitely not everyone's cup of coffee though

The Good Place, basically perfect television.
Fringe, because I find it infinitely rewatchable.
The good place is entirely fantastic, but season 1 is pure perfection.
For rewatchability maybe: Always sunny and scrubs But for favourite of all time that's a hard question and I think it changes all the time
Better call Saul. It was the show breaking bad tried to be.
Hard to choose but probably scrubs. I feel like they're hard to compare, like there should be one per category.
Supernatural, WestWorld (first two seasons), Justified, Mr Robot as well.
all 3 stargate series. oldtrek mostly, nutrek is just not even close, other than prodigy and lower decks, snw i find its still not good considering what other people are saying. use a different showrunner.
maybe spn although its through comprehensive videos of the seasons which fans graciously posted on youtube, mostly s1-5. inuyasha, not yashime or whatever it is, because fans made it weird, by making it a grooming situation rin+ sesshomaru. blue gender, Fullmetal alchemist, the og series. the new one is somewhat all over place. pre-disney takeover of marvel shows. gifted, runaways, AOS.
grimm might be up someones alley, it has a spn spin to it, and it ended as it should, and not dragged on forever like with supernatural.
a short series, DAMAGES, with glenn close, if you ignore the network changes that included sex scences for some reason.
medical drama: House, ER just not the last few seasons, which one of the actors became the showrunner of pitt. not any of those new ones with nobody actors i keep seeing on youtube.
bio shows, like monsters inside me.
netflix original: CASTLEVANIa, the first series one. the 2nd one is currently in limbo, as netflix sees which shows to cancel.
sandman and blood of zeus if they hadnt rushed to cancelled these series.
This Old House.
Kevin is cool. Very handsome man.
I preferred Norm and Bob, though. Sorry, sunny.
Silva Bros always deliver. Love pops(Tom. And Charlie!)
A true example of how team work makes the dream work.
I was gonna say Firefly. "Objects in Space" is amazing.
But it's Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.
Impossible to answer. There's a lot of different variations of "Favourite".
-
Favourite comfort show: (ie..rewatchability) Star Trek: TNG. Honourable Mention goes to Quantum Leap.
-
Favourite Drama to rewatch an entire series once a year of so: Battlestar Galactic Remake.
-
Favourite Comedy of all time (similar to comfort show...what's the comedy I can just pop in a random episode of and enjoy): Night Court (The original one) with honourable mentions to Community and How I Met Your Mother.
No one of those three beats the other two. They just exist in different worlds.
Six Feet Under is the best show I’ve ever seen. The ending is beyond the best I’ve ever seen, it’s perfect.
Scrubs and Hogans Heros
Classic MTV. Saturday morning toons.
The Rehearsal, favorite not sure, but best of all time? Not sure either, arguably, definitely up there. It's wild.
Band of Brothers
Quantum Leap is the gold standard for me.
Runners up: Night Court, Better Call Saul, Bojack Horseman, and The Twilight Zone. Those are all shows I have rewatched multiple times.
In addition to the shows you mention I'm really enjoying Silo right now, and found A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Severance to be really interesting.
After reading all the replies, I'm just here to add:
- Rome
- OZ
- The Wire
And a global mention to 90's and 00's Sci-Fi !
The Day Today. The Thick Of It. Time Trumpet.
These shows have nothing in common. No, siree.
