TV (The Book) Top 100 Series According to Alan Sepinwall and Matthew Zoller

Here is the Top 100 Television Series according to Sepinwall and Zoller from their new book, "TV (The Book)." They had to be narrative fictional shows, American produced, and either completed or an ongoing show that had been on for awhile. This seems like a very daunting task. Not sure if we could even come up with 100 shows. Well, that's not true. Still daunting.
