There is a good list of favorites on here that I enjoy,
Walking Dead
Spartacus
Breaking Bad
Justified
X-Files
Killing Eve (Jodie Cormer is incredible)
Sopranos
24
Homeland
Banshee
But if I was made to pick one all-time favorite, it would be Preacher hands down. Guaranteed something to offend everyone on this show!

I've read some of the original graphic novels. Never saw the series, though. If the series is half as trippy as the comics...
"I thought turkeys could fly!"
The plane is pulling a banner, it says H....A....P....P....Y....T....H....A....N....K....S....G....I....N....G.
Loved Les Nesman. My favorite is how he pronounced Chi Chi Rodriguez.

Favorite implies ONE, so I'll go with "Sky King".
Runners up:
Sgt Preston, Have Gun will Travel, Bonanza (Watched it at the neighbors because they had color TV), Boston Blackie, Dragnet, The original "Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent" (The puppet one).
Modern: Grimm, Bosch, Fortitude, Trapped (Both Foreign=on Amazon), Justified, Lost, NOS4A2, Walking Dead m(Getting boring and seasons are too far apart). Amazon has several "spie" series about WWII that ae Russian=each season tells a different story with different characters=sort of a "set" of mini=series!. They also have two series on the "Night Witches"=female bomber pilots who carried out night-time, low-level bombing missions in bi-planes.
From Wikipedia: ""Night Witches" (German: die Nachthexen; was a World War II German nickname for the all female military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, known later as the 46th "Taman" Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, of the Soviet Air Forces. Though women were initially barred from combat, Major Marina Raskova used her position and personal contacts with the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Joseph Stalin, to obtain permission to form female combat units. On October 8, 1941, an order was issued to deploy three women's air-force units, including the 588th Regiment. The regiment, formed by Major Marina Raskova and led by Major Yevdokiya Bershanskaya, comprised primarily female volunteers in their late teens and early twenties.
An attack technique of the night bombers involved idling the engine near the target and gliding to the bomb-release point, with only wind noise left to reveal their presence. German soldiers likened the sound to broomsticks and named the pilots "Night Witches". Due to the weight of the bombs and the low altitude of flight, the pilots did not carry parachutes until 1944.
Most of the ones posted by other posters bring back fond memories of the '50s and '60s!

Watched both shows.
For me, the star of Hardcastle & McCormick was the car. I was disappointed when they changed the Cody Coyote from a McLaren-style car to...whatever it was that replaced it.
Wikipedia says it's a DeLorean chassis. Well, as a kid I didn't care of course
I also liked Walker, Texas Ranger as well as Knots Landing.
MASH was good but only the first 3 seasons, with both LTC Henry Blake and CPT Trapper John McIntyre. Them two cracked me up

The real star was the old pickup truck.
I love a lot of those listed, but all time favorite is the Simpsons.

I'm glad I read your little disclaimer before I hit the freezer for some Belvedere to settle me down !!!
You need to still hit the Belvedere— a toot for your snoot purely for medicinal purposes.

Original Warner Brothers Cartoons
Bugs, Elmer, Daffy, Foghorn, Coyote, Roadrunner, Marvin, Pepe, Speedy, etc.!
Many (most?) of the voices done by the incomparable Mel Blanc!!
Humor, Humor, and characterization of society as a whole! Something we need more of!

There was a time I really liked MASH, but tired of it as I got older.
Didn't watch Seinfeld when prime time, but absolutely love the reruns.
Two & a half men, same as Seinfeld.
I have to add, Th Beverly Hillbillies & Andy Griffith
Hasn't been mentioned I don't think, but really liked Dallas
