Todayβs Ask PHlemmy: What is the greatest show of all time?
The Wire, easily.
To this day, I don't think anything is close β and I love Succession, Breaking Bad/BCS, Black Mirror, Game of Thrones, Fleabag, Arrested Development, The Office, and so on.
Besides the last couple of seasons, Game of Thrones was really good tv. Red Wedding is still one of the most shocking twists I've seen on any show.
My coworkers would call a dialogue-driven episode "boring" when those witty banters are the reason why I watch, lol.
Shout out to Lady Olenna π
I bet those are the same people that look at their phone when "nothing" is happening on screen. Good dialogue delivered by great actors are a joy ot watch.

Ang hirap:
To add:
Fargo
This is a tough one. There is no one greatest show for me, kasi ang hirap talaga piliin objectively because they each have different things to offer.
Series: House, M.D. Band of Brothers Prison Break Chernobyl Ted Lasso
Great in terms of comedy imho Thin Blue Line (Mr. Bean had an obscure series lol) Blackadder Monty Python A Bit of Fry & Laurie Two Ronnies - Four Candles is a favorite bit. QI (Quite Inappropriate with Stephen Fry) WLIIA (Whose Line Is It Anyway) - Current one is ok, but the drew carrey hosted WLIIA is better.
Talk Shows: Johnny Carson David Letterman Conan O' Brien (especially the remotes)
Game Shows: The Chase - mostly watch the highlights. Quite funny to see the production staff intentionally putting in a bit inappropriate double-meaning answers sa multiple choice answers to get the host into uncontrollable fits of laughter (Bradley Walsh). The double meanings are not as funny as Walsh's contagious laughter lol.
Kung local naman, medyo limited lang ang mga napapanood ko unfortunately but Pepito Manaloto is good.
The Greatest Showman... hehe...
