Friends and how I met your mother shouldn't be on the list imo. Neither should FMA. FMA was alright but brotherhood was significantly better and also better received by people.

Most people really like Attack on Titan, house of cards, and daredevil. Orange is the new black had a great season 1 but received a lot of hate for season 2.

Big bang theory is pretty universally loved by non-nerds, I think most nerds actually find it boring/stale/slightly offensive.

Better call Saul and Fargo are both pretty universally loved as well.

megapopular shows like GoT get some hate

If I had to pick something that I would say has gotten literally zero hate, it would be True Detective Season 1.

Friends is one of the most popular, and well received sitcoms of all time.........



Seinfeld should be on this list, although I personally don't enjoy it.




My list:

Breaking Bad
House of Cards
Game of Thrones
Gilmore Girls
Grey's Anatomy
Big Bang Theory
Law and Order
House
Firefly RIP
The Walking Dead (however, I stopped watching during season 4)


American Horror Story is very popular, but certain seasons are a hit or miss for some people.
The Office is popular and very funny, but i don't think it appeals to everyone.
Dexter is clever and interesting, but most agree that at least the last season was awful.
Lost, although I didn't watch most of it, it literally captivated TV and was the show "everyone" talked about.
I really enjoyed Spartacus, but it's kind of a niche show, and gets a lot of bad criticism for some of the cheap background and blood effects they use.


There are very notable Netflix series, but haven't had many seasons to justify being on the list in my opinion.

That's okay, it still doesn't change where it stands. I'm not the biggest fan of it either.

It was extremely popular... Yet it is pretty much universally mocked as being an example of what to not do. It is the troll 2 of sitcoms.

Does it deserve respect for staying around for 10 years? Maybe...but all 90's shows stayed for a long time.

A lot of conversations I have go Office Space(only thing I can stand jen in) -> Jen(what you dont like jen? what about friends) - > Friends(I dont like friends at all, do you? Oh you dont really like it either now that you think about it? how surprising.....). I have literally not met a single person that has claimed to like friends.

Walking Dead definitely should not be on the list either. Although it certainly deserves an award for having so many people bitching about it while continuing to watch it.
