We'll turn anything into a meme, won't we?

Snagged from maharet83.

Empire Magazine has revealed its list of the "50 Greatest TV Shows" ever. So, of course, LJ-ers have leapt upon the opportunity and made it into a meme.

1. Bold the shows you've watched every episode of
2. Italic the shows you've seen at least one episode of
3. Post your answers

50. Quantum Leap
49. Prison Break
48. Veronica Mars
47. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
46. Sex & The City

45. Farscape
44. Cracker
43. Star Trek
42. Only Fools and Horses
41. Band of Brothers

40. Life on Mars
39. Monty Python's Flying Circus
38. Curb Your Enthusiasm
37. Star Trek: The Next Generation
36. Father Ted

35. Alias
34. Frasier
33. CSI: Las Vegas
32. Babylon 5
31. Deadwood

30. Dexter
29. ER
28. Fawlty Towers
27. Six Feet Under
26. Red Dwarf

25. Futurama
24. Twin Peaks
23. The Office UK
22. The Shield
21. Angel

20. Blackadder
19. Scrubs
18. Arrested Development
17. South Park
16. Doctor Who (new version) - working on it, only the last half of series 3 to go

15. Heroes
14. Firefly
13. Battlestar Galactica (new version) - another one I'm almost caught up on
12. Family Guy
11. Seinfeld

10. Spaced
09. The X-Files
08. The Wire
07. Friends
06. 24

05. Lost
04. The West Wing
03. The Sopranos
02. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
01. The Simpsons

I have to say, it's a pretty decent list. While there's a bunch of stuff on there I'd never watch (or watched one episode of and said, "Forget it!"), off the top of my head, I couldn't think of many shows that were missing. All my faves were on it - Buffy, VM, West Wing, 24, BSG - even Red Dwarf, which usually doesn't get nearly enough credit. I think the only addition I'd make is Friday Night Lights, and maybe the US version of The Office.

The Wire's predecessor Homicide: Life On The Streets was also an excellent show. You're right, the US Office should have a berth, too.
