BoobTube, Idiot Box, we are so close to ReadyPlayerOne
...as a distraction; Izzy and Pete helped me create my top ten list of Prime Time Soap Operas. A la old school David Letterman, for your perusal, my opinion! (SideBar: Lovecraft Country is Horror and Schitt's Creek is Comedy while Game of Thrones is Fantasy, Sherlock is Crime! Those are diff lists.)
#10 LOST (Six seasons) Disregard last season plz.

#9 Six Feet Under. (Five seasons) Ticks all my boxes. It holds up fine.

#8 Club de Cuervo. (Four seasons) Funny, but so drama, very sports.
#7 Sons of Anarchy. (Seven seasons.) It is Hamlet with Harleys.

#6 Twin Peaks. Two...no...three but, again, the end...WTF?Skipthelastseason!
#5 The Riches. 1.5 seasons...Just leave me hanging...FOREVER!ugh.
#4 Dallas. FOURTEEN EFFING SEASONS! It was a thing. Oh,Bobby.
#3 Breaking Bad. Five glorious seasons, what a ride. Multiple spinoffs. Vince Gilligan is a god.

#2 YellowStone. So is Taylor Sheridan! https://ew.com/tv/yellowstone-season-3-finale-wes-bentley-interview/?did=554694-20200830&utm_campaign=entertainment-weekly_newsletter&utm_source=ew.com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=083020&cid=554694&mid=39856109848
