The Writers Guild of America (WGA) released a list of the 101 best written TV series.
The list spans seven decades of television.
Anything from comedies to dramas and variety talk shows along with children's programming were in the running.
The ranking was decided by online voting from WGA members.
Each member was allowed to vote for up to 20 series titles. Each title counted as one vote.
What made the controversial list?
"The Colbert Report" (50) is significantly higher than "The Golden Girls" (69). There are also a lot of ties.
"Roseanne" sits with both "The SHIELD" and "24." Showtime series "Dexter" ties with the U.S. version of "The Office."
HBO favorite "Game of Thrones" is way down the list at number 40.
And sorry zombie fans, "The Walking Dead" is nowhere to be found on the list. However, two of AMC's other shows "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" do get shout outs.
