It first aired on AMC on July 19, 2007, and ran until 2015. mad men It was certainly celebrated in its time, taking home 16 Emmy Awards and five Golden Globe Awards over its seven seasons — yet all three agreed that Bossis’s choice for the greatest drama series of all time has gotten better with age.
“mad men “It’s very well done and holds together over its seven seasons in a way that’s surprising when you watch it in concert,” Busis says. “It’s kind of surprising that there wasn’t a plan for the ending from the beginning, because it ended so well.”
While many may argue that The soprano It is the greatest drama series of all time, Lawson suggests for this award mad men It is a way to shower praise on The soprano also. Weiner was hired to write it The soprano After submitting the spec script for mad men; When he finally had the opportunity to perform his original presentation, they behaved like their normal counterparts. “mad men and the The soprano “They are in deep dialogue with each other,” Lawson said. “if The soprano It’s about the end of the American dream, mad men It comes to the first cough.

Talking about things that may not have aged well: America’s Next Top Model Overcome both RuPaul’s Drag Race and The real world: Seattle For the greatest reality TV show. It originally aired on UPN in July 2003, America’s Next Top Model Hosted by tyra banks, who also served as its executive producer. While many of the show’s situations and challenges — like having contestants change their race for photos, or forcing someone to stand in a coffin hours after learning their girlfriend has died — have aged terribly, Ants It was troublingly entertaining and laid the foundation for many other reality shows, from Drag racing to Runway project to Top Chef.
