Here are mine.

1. The Rifleman
2. Bonanza

Picking the first four was easy. Picking a 5th was hard. So here are a few "extras"

- The A-Team
- Happy Days (pre-1980)
- Get Smart

Lucy and 3c are tied for first.

I like several newer/recent series, too, like DEXTER, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, JUSTIFIED, TERRIERS, BURN NOTICE, LOST, DEADWOOD, PUSHING DAISIES, BREAKING BAD, etc, but I haven't given them repeated viewings yet, so I can't as yet put them in the 'all-time fave' category, though I may well do so in the future.

These aren't really my all time favorites except for the first three....

1. 30 Rock

I was a little disappointed with Parks this season though, so if it continues to underwhelm me it could drop out. Community was also a step down this year but my love for the first 3 seasons is so strong that I can't really see anything dragging it down. I also don't consider anything past Season 9 of The Simpsons to be the same show, so...
