I just looked up Enoch L. (Nucky) Johnson who the character was based on. In a photo from 1941 he looks like Mandy Patinkin. Mind you, Enoch was 58 in 1941.
I think my favorite moment was the karaoke of Leonard Cohen’s Famous Blue Raincoat. Not sure if I was just drunk enough to laugh my *** off while watching, but hit me just right.Succession is so good, feel like I underrated it at 6th. There’s so much subtle stuff I don’t want to spoil but like
never mind to tired of spoilers
Tom and Greg, just despicable characters yet in a way you want to root for them, or at least respect them in the game
Logan was so great to, could say so much just by saying “uh huh” or “f off”

Got a blender? Shred some paper, add a splash of milk and seltzer. Liquify. There you go. Let it congeal for the full effect.
I'm glad it all worked out for you.
I loved this frakking show and thought it absolutely stuck the landing.
Lester's funeral scene with Con and Willa was the best. "Lester touched all of us".Succession is so good, feel like I underrated it at 6th. There’s so much subtle stuff I don’t want to spoil but like

The (dis)likability factor is a big driver of what makes the show. It’s a bunch of deplorable - yet very interesting - characters.Yeah, this is just a big miss for me. I can't get into shows where I literally dislike everyone. And the business side of things was too absurd, too.33 - Succession

I'm curious how you felt about Breaking Bad. I am typically the same as you and it took me about three tries to make it through season 1 of Breaking Bad just because I hated just about everyone but Jesse. I ended up really enjoying BB. I think with Succession, it took me awhile to figure out that all of the characters were deplorable, so by the time I hated them all, I was already vested in the show. It was top 100 but didn't make my top 70 for whatever reason.
I've always thought that one of the points of shows like BB/Better Call Saul was that there weren't really any "good guys" but instead various shades of bad. Characters who might think they are doing the right thing by their families etc. but instead get immersed in the criminal culture, to the detriment of everyone around them.
Great show.
Cox made the show. It was really good with him, not so good without him. Getting through the last season was a slog.
I think Breaking Bad is Top 10 all time for TV.
Well said.
Well, I'll be shocked if it's not top 5 in this countdown. Legit contender for #1 overall.
I could see 2 other possibilities and 3 dark horses. I think those 6 are locks for top 10 and #1 will be one of them.
I assumed BB or BCS would be #1 and the other likely top 5.
I haven't seen BCS yet, so don't be spilling too many beans.

In my various circles of friends, in the mid-00s, no gathering went by without at least one reference to a Chappelle’s Show character or sketch. It was hilarious and broke boundaries.

The comedy style was so alien (at least, to me). Not the format so much, though the animated stuff was really different, but that type of humor. I "got" Carol Burnette, even if some of the jokes went over my head a bit as a kid. I had to readjust my thinking to get into the Flying Circus.The Pythons redefined comedy, in format, subject matter and delivery. They were as impactful on comedy as the Beatles were on music.

We almost never got to hear of them in the States, though. After the show’s conclusion, despite its popularity, the BBC was planning to tape over the master copies, which was common practice back then because of how expensive film was. Terry Jones convinced them not to. And then a deal with PBS was struck to air it in the States.

1. "I separate art from the artist"
2. "Most brilliant artists are troubled/problematic"
I'm too old, too lazy, and too much of a hypocrite to parse every artist's set of values. I'll never attend one of Chappelle's shows or order a PPV, but that doesn't mean I don't find him hilarious.
I'd done some digging and didn't run across much of that.
Did you read my second-to-last sentence?
Ok, sorry I'm not as up to speed as you, but if I can't find a mention of what you're talking about in the first 2 pages of a Google search or after going through this entire article, your knowledge of Dave Chappelle's controverises is likely deeper than the vast majority of the population.
One I thought about after submitting my list was Schoolhouse Rock, but I’m not sure if that would necessarily qualify for these rankings for some since they’re just a bunch of short interludes.

Guess he's right, he has basically been cancelled for telling "offensive" jokes about the untouchables.
At the video store I would mess around and see what got the most comments when I put it in. Schoolhouse Rock got the most complaints by far.
