Best telly ever?
Empire has produced a list of The Best TV Shows Ever.
The Simpsons is a pretty good number 1, but I would never have put Buffy at 2 or Friends at 7 (Friends simply can't hold a light to Seinfeld, Fawlty Towers, The Office or Frasier).
Similarly, I would have thought The Wire would be further up the top 5, possibly closer to 1.
Apart from that, the top 10 is difficult to argue with, although maybe Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, The Prisoner, Monty Python, Life on Mars, Only Fools and Horses, Doctor Who, Blackadder and Father Ted should be among the elite instead of drifting out of the list - or not showing up at all in the case of The Prisoner.

Here's another, about a woman who bit a dog that attacked her dog.
