Rick and Morty Breaking Bad South Park It’s Always Sunny Parks and Rec The Office The Man in the High Castle GoT (sans final 2 seasons) SNL Stranger Things
I need to give High Castle another look. Got stalled out on it.
The actor for the lead Nazi character is phenomenal. He does some outright evil shit and still makes you sympathize with him
South Park (pre-heavy politics shit that has taken the show over)
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Man in the High Castle
The Americans
Old Looney Tunes cartoons
Pee Wee's Playhouse (re-watch this as an adult and enjoy the sexual innuendo)
The Price is Right (Bob Barker years)
History Channel WWII shit
Transformers (80's era)
Agree. I had to leave SNL off because of this. I watched consistently from the mid 80's until about 3 years ago when being funny became less of a priority than desperate activism. I really miss that show. And Letterman
Agree, except snl hasn’t been funny for a good 15 years and its been at least 5 for South Park as well.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Breaking Bad Eastbound and Down Band of Brothers (fuck you this counts) Trailer Park Boys (someone here maybe @DoogieMcDoogerson recommended it and I am thankful. They get bonus points for the Nate MacKinnon cameo) Top Gear (British version obviously) Celebrity Deathmatch Chappelle’s Show Crank Yankers The Man Show (remember when Comedy Central was funny and Kimmel wasn’t a cuck?)
Sorry gotta cross that out and add PEAKY FUCKIN BLINDERS in there.
Honorable mention: SPORTS and also The Angry Beavers for @BennyBeaver

Two Shows have ! In their title so this list must be good:
Breaking Bad It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia South Park Simpsons (first 10 or so seasons) Police Squad! MacGyver Rick and Morty Almost Live! (The 30 minute John Keister version, not the 60 minute Ross Shafer talk show version) Seinfeld River Monsters
Good call. That could've been in my top 10. The effort to make some of the fish seem dangerous, and some of the episodes harrowing, was on the cheesy side of things, but they were all great documentaries and stories with cool fish. I actually kind of like the host and the way the shows are staged, even when there is no real mystery and he's just trying to catch bad ass fish.
I actually got turned onto this show by my eight year old son, who gobbles it up. It's actually pretty entertaining, although my eyes roll every time he has to jump into the croc/shark-infested water after his gear because it was "ripped out of his hands."
Edit: I'm getting two fishing shows confused because of your "cheesy side of things" comment. My son's favorite show is Chasing Monsters on Netflix. Same kind of thing only not limited to rivers. Same cheesy put-yourself-in-danger-for-dramatic-effect angle. Still fun to watch.

The original?
For some reason that picture reminded me of the greatest show ever produced:
Cosmos. OG, not the new one, although the new one isn't bad (it just tries way too hard to be the original). We should strap every sixth grader in America into their chairs, prop their eyes open with toothpicks Clockwork Orange style, and make them watch the whole series.

Ok. I think we could have an education/documentary/movies that teach something bracket too.
Call it the Substitute Teacher TV on a Cart VHS bracket

Just off the top of my head...I’m sure there’s lots more

I'll consult with my seeding committee ( @Doog_de_Jour and whom ever else wants to volunteer ), but I think we'll keep this tournament to best 32 shows of all time for Drama, Sitcoms, Cartoons, Crime/Action, etc. Talkshows, comedy sketches, documentaries, mini series can be fodder for the REAL off season.
