Your all-time favorite tv drama series

[caj]

I'm probably flying fast and loose with the term 'drama series' because some of mine could be considered sci-fy, detective, action, etc... But I'm including any tv show that has regular drama in it.

Also, I'm limiting these to night-time only. Daytime soap operas are a whole category into themselves IMO.

Mine:

1. The Waltons
2. Dallas
3. Star Trek TOS
4. Murder She Wrote
5. Friday Night Lights
6. Mad Men
7. Knots Landing
8. Little House On The Prairie
9. This Is Us
10. Melrose Place
11. Family
12. Adam 12
13. Barnaby Jones
14. In The Heat Of The Night
15. Charlie's Angels
16. Columbo
17. Falcon Crest
18. Marcus Welby MD
19. Touched By An Angel
20. Perry Mason

Hopefully, this counts. But when you bring up drama series, you certainly can't go wrong with anything pertaining to high school...

Serial Experiments Lain

Wow. Neat question. Off the top of my head:

1. Star Trek: The Next Generation
2. The Waltons
3. Longmire
4. Battlestar Galactica

My list
Game of Thrones
Lost
Star Trek Deep Space Nine
Babylon Five
Picket Fences
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Alias
Twilight Zone
Star Trek The Next Generation
Evil
The Good Wife/Good Fight

There are shows I really loved for a minute like seasons one and two of Heroes but the rest of it I really didn't care for. There are shows that were very well written and I enjoyed but I never loved, Succession, The Wire, Oz, Sherlock and Luther

I'm going to leave out Trek (Most Trek had little "Drama" IMO it was mostly problem solving) for the same reason I'm leaving out Procedurals like Law and Order.

Dallas (Both Series the reboot had issues in Season 3, but JR's sendoff was fantastic)
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
West Wing
Sopranos
Melrose Place
Beverly Hills 90210 (Boy did I date myself with those two)
All in the Family
Little House on the Prairie
Waltons
Family Ties (While a sitcom like All in the Family it mixed in drama well)
Babylon 5
Oz
The Wire

[From The Shadows]

Star Trek TOS
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek DS9
M.A.S.H (do comedy dramas count?)
Little House on the Prairie
Rockford Files
Magnum P.I.
Quincy
Barnaby Jones
Northern Exposure
Law and Order
The X-Files
