Best TV shows of all time

Here is a list of my top 10 favorite TV shows of all time, in no particular order.  This is obviously very subjective and open to debate and to change, and only consists of TV shows that no longer air new episodes:

The Wire
The Sopranos
Deadwood
Lost
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Band of Brothers
Battlestar Galactica
The Office (UK version)
Planet Earth

Honorable mentions to (and possible new entrants to the Top 10 on a different day):

The Good Wife
The Wonder Years
24
The Shield
Justified
Hannibal
Spaced
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The World at War
Banshee

And possible (and in some cases extremely likely) new entries once they finish up:

Game of Thrones
South Park
The Americans
Rectify
Homeland
Fargo
Silicon Valley
Black Mirror
Mr Robot
Better Call Saul

If I gave this more thought, I could probably come up with a whole new set of shows that I’ve momentarily forgotten about that should be in these lists.  What is interesting is that the majority of these are American dramas, with only a handful of comedies and British shows thrown in.  Is that why, or because, I moved to the US?  Curious.
