It can be really tough to have a conversation with anyone about your favorite show, and in the golden age of television we have a lot to choose from. Luckily, Hollywood Reporter polled over 2,800 people from the tv industry. They ranged from producers to directors to even the actors themselves, and they came up with the 50 best shows ever.
They all range from different time periods and chances are you will want to argue things. My biggest beef? How can The Office and Parks and Recreation be only at 31 and 32 respectively?!
