"Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a place, a town, a house, like a lot of houses. A yard like a lot of other yards. On a street like a lot of other streets. And the thing is, after all these years, I still look back... with wonder."

Justified
77 points from 9 votes
Justified has earned a following among Kentuckians for its authentic, down home flavor, despite being shot in California, due in no small part to the prominent role Kentucky’s native spirit, bourbon, plays in it. In the show bourbon plays a supporting role and you can tell a lot about a each character by the kind of whiskey they drink.

Dexter
79 points from 11 votes
"I just know there's something dark in me, and I hide it. I certainly don't talk about it, but it's there - always. This Dark Passenger. And when he's driving, I feel... alive, half sick with the thrill of complete wrongness. I don't fight him, I don't want to. He's all I've got. Nothing else could love me, not even... especially not me. Or is that just a lie the Dark Passenger tells me? Because lately, there are these moments when I feel connected to something else... someone. It's like the mask is slipping and things... people... who never mattered before, are suddenly starting to matter. It scares the hell out of me."

Babylon 5
81 points from 7 votes, one first place vote
The Vorlon encounter suit actually didn't fit through the doorways on the set, so the alien was never shown entering or leaving a room.

[djgeneral]

Stranger things and dexter are the most nominate shows so far with 11 lists.

Shocked freaks is so low !

[terp_fan99]

Glad Scrubs made it. I'm sure me ranking it at #2 helped.

[MechaGodzilla]

I expected Miami Vice to do better, but hey. At least it made the top 50, which I know some of my other favorites definitely didn't.

[jacobsever]

I didn't vote in this, but if LOST isn't Top 5...I'll probably cry.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
83 points from 10 votes
The pilot was created by four Hollywood actors (Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day and Jordan Reid) about struggling as actors in LA. The show was initially titled, "It's Always Sunny on TV". The original, unaired pilot only cost $200 to make and was shot on a digital camera, with the actors taking turns holding the boom. It was then shopped around to different networks and was picked up by FX. They then moved the setting of the show from LA to Philadelphia and re-shot the pilot.
The show was almost canceled after its first season but renewed at the last minute when FX executives decided to give it room to grow. It has gone from the brink of cancellation, to being one of the highest rated and most popular shows on FX. On April 1, 2016, the series was renewed for a thirteenth and fourteenth season, which will tie it with The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as the longest running live-action sitcom in American TV history.



Fargo3.jpg
Fargo
83 points from 13 votes
As with the original film, each episode begins with the text: “This is a true story. At the request of the survivors, the names have been changed. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.” As with the film, this claim is completely untrue.
Fargo has won 32 of its 133 award nominations. The first season garnered 8 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, with the show itself winning the Outstanding Miniseries and director Colin Bucksey winning the Outstanding Directing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special. It received an additional 10 Creative Arts Emmy Award nominations, winning for Outstanding Casting for a Miniseries, Movie, or Special. It has received eight Golden Globe Award nominations, with the show winning for Best Miniseries or Television Film, and Billy Bob Thornton winning for Best Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film.
