To this day, I don't think anything is close — and I love Succession, Breaking Bad/BCS, Black Mirror, Game of Thrones, Fleabag, Arrested Development, The Office, and so on.
I bet those are the same people that look at their phone when "nothing" is happening on screen. Good dialogue delivered by great actors are a joy ot watch.
This is a tough one. There is no one greatest show for me, kasi ang hirap talaga piliin objectively because they each have different things to offer.
Series:
House, M.D.
Band of Brothers
Prison Break
Chernobyl
Ted Lasso
Great in terms of comedy imho
Thin Blue Line (Mr. Bean had an obscure series lol)
Blackadder
Monty Python
A Bit of Fry & Laurie
Two Ronnies - Four Candles is a favorite bit.
QI (Quite Inappropriate with Stephen Fry)
WLIIA (Whose Line Is It Anyway) - Current one is ok, but the drew carrey hosted WLIIA is better.
Talk Shows:
Johnny Carson
David Letterman
Conan O' Brien (especially the remotes)
Game Shows:
The Chase - mostly watch the highlights. Quite funny to see the production staff intentionally putting in a bit inappropriate double-meaning answers sa multiple choice answers to get the host into uncontrollable fits of laughter (Bradley Walsh). The double meanings are not as funny as Walsh's contagious laughter lol.
Kung local naman, medyo limited lang ang mga napapanood ko unfortunately but Pepito Manaloto is good.
Huge huge fan of the Australian version and stopped watching shortly before the original host was fired a couple of years ago. Basta 3pm every day, I pause whatever I'm doing and set up shop sa couch with snacks, lol. It's also recorded so when my wife gets home, we watch it again.
