>>
>>70170641
Deadwood's in the list.

I don't get it. These aren't books so what does writing have to do with it?

>>70170694
No, I only posted the 10 first because of the character limit.
>>
>>70170700

that's not very fair, euros have more time to read with all those brownskins banging their wives
>>
>>70170806
But the US has a higher population percentage of niggers and spics than any country in Europe...

so well written

Eeh. Pretty standard stuff but still good choices. At least they didn't put GoT
>>
>>70170838

yeah, but they're American niggers and spics
>>
>>70170539

>Game of Thrones actually made the list
>Dexter also made the list
>both of these shows are above the Shield and Band of Brothers

Yeah, nah
>>
>>70170871
GoT is rank like 30 something actually.

The list gets shittier the more you look past the top 10.
>>
>>70170539

> Oz, Boardwalk, Empire and Six Feet Under are below Game of Thrones and fucking Twin Peaks

Ree.

>>70170913

>>70170930

Where's Fargo?

Hispanic typically refers to Latin Americans. Even so, compare Spain to a country like Mexico and the differences are pretty clear.

Also i really don't get Seinfeld. Whatever.
>>
>>70171428
is this bait? or did you just miss every other social issue the show tackled?
>>
Dexter and GoT are on the list so no I don't agree with the list.
>>
>>70172868
Did you see the post he was responding to? Yes it's bait.

Christ this board is more autistic than /v/.
>>
>>70170539
Pretty solid top 10 desu
>>
Happy to see Twilight Zone get up there, I still think it hasn't been topped fucking over 50 years later.
>>
Damn solid fucking list. You could fuck with the order a bit based on personal preference but everything there deserves to be, with the caveat that I haven't seen Mary Tyler Moore since I was a kid, but based on the others on the list I'll trust it.
