My list:
1. The Sopranos
2. Seinfeld
3. The Wire
4. Alias
5. Rome

Honourable mentions:
South Park
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Lost
Battlestar Galactica

Edit: Goddamn Oxy, I completely forgot about Rome and BSG. For now, Rome will replace Lost as #5 pending the end of Lost and final judgment.

Am I the only one who can't stand episodic crime dramas? I find them to be horrid messes of morbid fascination and zero inspiration with a complete lack of respect for the subject.

Watch "The Wire" Nets, and you will never watch an episodic crime drama again.

Waitaminute...While I agree about crime dramas in general, dont forget law and order is done by the same team that brought us Oz, hence all the cameos and guest appearances by former Oz stars, not to mention those that actually have starring roles.

BSG
Stargate
Stagate: Atlantis
Eureka
Futurama
Law and Order: SVU
Heroes (yes, I know...)
Lost
Sopranos
Oz
Deadwood
Carnivale
Rome
Trueblood (for now...pending...)
Tales From the Crypt
Weeds
Dexter
Brotherhood
The Tudors
Masters of Horror/Fear Itself (yes, I know again...)
South Park
Outer Limits
Terminator: Sara Conner...

Mad Men

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Although I am more of a movie buff than a TV series watcher.
