Ozark is great to teach in terms of showing what not to do

 

The Wire would probably be it.

 

Sopranos, Mad Men, Seinfeld, Wire,

Idk of a good fifth one that's on that level.

 

Not a ton of people have probably watched dark but it’s so intricate and detailed and they kept everything so perfectly in line through the 3 seasons.

 

I really think BB is

 

I need to watch it. Might do it next

 

Dark rules

 

I was gonna say BB. That'd probably be my choice

 

I would consider deadwood too

 

I also need to see Deadwood.

 

People debate the last season of Seinfeld but even with a couple duds, it doesn’t dilute the rest of the series. Top 5 for sure

 

Yeah I can’t think of another comedy that even comes close to that level of consistency.

 

Maybe Bojack

Edit: not to compare to Seinfeld but for the question

 

Oh yeah Bojack would be my 5th

 

Seinfeld is the easy choice

 

Haven’t watched bojack, sounds stupid but I just can’t get into any cartoons anymore. Bob’s burgers, bojack etc.

 

Coward

 

I did not like what i saw

 

FWIW it feels fundamentally different than any other cartoon I’ve watched

 

for whatever reason I just cannot pay attention whenever I put on something like bojack or bob’s or whatever. 2 minutes in and my mind is completely elsewhere.

 

that’s me with anything fantasy like GoT or LotR

 

If you're teaching a course you have to be more considerate of history. Stuff like I Love Lucy would be part of it.

 

Television and film started in the 90s duh

 

The Simpsons, Seinfeld, 30 Rock

Mad Men, The Wire, The Sopranos

 

That is one of the difficulties of trying to teach a course like that. Are you working for CBS and cranking out 24 episodes a year or are you making a ten episode season that might take two years off? In some ways it is more impressive that a show like Cheers or MASH could keep people entertained with so many hours of footage on tight budgets and deadlines.
