This is an extremely difficult question IMHO. So much to choose from:

 

1. Star Trek - The Next Generation

2. Charmed

3. Battlestar Galactica (newer series, obviously)

4. Friends

5. Lost

 

Although many of the shows below could sneak into the top five on any given day, and at certain points in my life, many of these shows would have easily been in the top five:

 

Thirtysomething

M*A*S*H

Taxi

Cheers

Family Ties

Roseanne

Will & Grace

The Paper Chase (both versions)

Star Trek

Star Trek - Deep Space Nine

Star Trek - Voyager

Star Trek - Enterprise

Heroes

Scrubs

The Daily Show

The Colbert Report

Mad TV

That 70's Show

Medium

Sex & The City

The Ghost Whisperer

America's Next Top Model

The Real World (the first few seasons)

Survivor

Monty Python's Flying Circus

 

These two only had one season, but were among the very best:

 

My So Called Life

Freaks & Geeks

 

 

There must be plenty of other worthy contenders I can't think of...

I'm not going to lie; I love Roseanne. I have a lot of good memories with that show.

Tough choices and the list would probably change regularly but for now it'd be something like this inpo;

 

The Wire

The Simpsons

Deadwood

Frasier and Cheers

The Sopranos

 

Dexter, Family Guy and 24 would be not far off the list.

 

And just for the sake of it, here are five British ones;

 

Blackadder

The Young Ones

Minder

The Goodies

The Fast Show

Well now, this should be interesting, since we're talking ALL-TIME (in no particular order):

 

The Incredible Hulk <== from my youth

Ultraman <== from my extreme youth

The Apprentice (early seasons were more interesting)

Star Trek (original series)

Star Trek: The Next Generation

1) The Shield-Best Show I've ever seen, period. The last two seasons weren't their best, but the first 5 were riveting.

 

2) Dexter-A very close second. Given more time, this one might overtake The Shield.

 

3) The Sopranos-A classic. What more can you say?

 

4) The Wire-Intelligent, gritty social commentary without preaching or coming off heavy handed.

 

5) Deadwood-Why, oh why did HBO not let this masterpiece reach its conclusion?

 

Honorable Mention:

 

Rescue Me

Lost
