What tv series do you consider to be the most well written?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
All-time? For sitcoms, I am partial to The Golden Girls and Seinfeld. For dramas, it doesn't get much better than seasons 1-4 of The West Wing. Updated On: 11/18/14 at 12:28 AM

@HorseTears...The first half of S3 of Homeland was a blemish. The series quickly recovered.
@James885...I completely overlooked The Wire. That series provided an unabashed view of the nexus between organized crime, global financiers, the legal system, hardworking honest folks in decaying neighborhoods, and America's inner city untouchables. It wasn't always the prettiest sight to behold. Just last week I was touring the neighborhood in which much of the series was shot.
Couldn't agree more Javero, it's the greatest show in the history of television because it never once lets the viewer off the hook, the acting is astounding, and there has never been another show that portrays dying industry, the urban educational system, the cycle of poverty, and the corrupt political system so incredibly well.
Re: Roseanne - I dunno about greatest show in history, but it's certainly one the greatest. For all the reasons you mentioned, Sutton, and because it accomplished all of that while also being very funny. Well, as long as we ignore the last two seasons. Especially the last one.
