I was discussing this list with my wife yesterday - from the other comments we've watched more than the average person here. I'd say we've seen 4 out of every 5 shows at least one season and probably finished about 20% of them (with minor exceptions like spin offs or movies or new seasons in the last few years with a hiatus).

What struck me was the inclusion of Suvivor and Ru Paul - I don't doubt their cultural impact and significance, nor their importance towards their fans - but as a mark of quality of what a TV experience can be, considering performances, risk-taking, writing depth, cinematography, music, costuming, editing, props design, imagination and ingenuity - I wouldn't have included those in the Top 100.

    I just look at these lists for some recommendations. To truly choose a best when many of these are apples and oranges, different genres, short series, long running, everyone has heard of it, no one has heard of it, high budget, low budget, influential, experimental, animated,hard to write or produce.

    TLDR, The metrics are off so I don’t sweat it
