"L.I.V.E.R.P.double O .L Liverpool FC"... man, that was brilliant too!

I'm not much of a tv watcher now but that's probably the most hard-hitting telly I've seen.

(as an aside)

Looking at the OP's No. 1...Madmen. I finally caught up with this and watched the whole shebang. Never have I watched anything that had so many loose ends in the story line that never got tied. Was a bit weird. Still loved it though, in a funny sort of way.

anyway, my ten:

Breaking Bad
Pride & Prejudice (Jennifer Elle version)
Poldark (Eleanor Tomlinson version)
Fawlty Towers
Game of Thrones
Rockford Files
The Good Life
House of Cards (original)
Kung Fu
Just Good Friends
Taggart
