Might be hard to do this without some sort of categorization (drama, comedy, etc.).
My nominees:
Comedy: Curb (easy choice; no close second)
Drama: Wire, Mad Men, Breaking Bad (not such an easy choice)
Honorable Mention: The Americans; Narcos

You’ve immediately crossed out your taste by putting The Americans near the ‘best of’ any list.
The Twilight Zone is the best TV show of all time and it’s not close.
It’s more of a personal favorite than an objective best of. Hence, my Honorable Mention list.
Feels like there should be a comedy bracket and a drama bracket. Winners can meet in the final for fun. Unless it is 100% clearly a comedy it is in the drama category. I love you The Bear, but you shouldn’t be considered a comedy for awards sake.
It’s all good, we all like bad shows for some unknown reason.
Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
The Wire
Also you should say what we are voting on. If you have cultural relevance, peak of show. I don’t see how Simpsons isn’t the clear #1. I mean…they had a Simpsons MNF game this past week.
Night Court. Three’s Company. Cheers. VEEP. Law and Order. Schitt’s Creek.
You’re voting on your favorite shows and being mad when they get knocked out
Well someone’s gotta do it - Friends.
Yeah I know that will be the criteria at the end of the day…
But at the end i still believe in splitting dramas and comedies apart
Chernobyl need to be nominated.
Was going to add that to my honorable mentions. Still watch it regularly and it stands the test of time.
Leftovers, Halt and Catch Fire
The Office what the hell wrong with y’all
Everybody Loves Raymond still elicits an average of 2 belly laughs per episode all these years later
CHiPS we just started a rewatch and that show was just cheesy enough to work
The Big Bang Theory probably won’t win because of rerun fatigue but still an all-timer
Hill Street Blues GOAT police procedural imo eta and awesome themesong (RIP James B. Sikking)
It’s Always Sunny - longevity, hilarious, infinitely rewatchable and some of my favorite comedic characters in TV history
Band of Brothers
Arrested Development
Twin Peaks
Homicide
