2010s: Louie OR Community 2000s: Curb Your Enthusiasm 1990s: The Larry Sanders Show 1980s: Cheers 1970s: Columbo 1960s: The Twilight Zone 1950s: Alfred Hitchcock Presents
As long as the show peaked or predominantly aired in the decade, it'll count, or whatever!

2020s: Arcane - Everything that a fantasy story should be. A tragic tapestry in which every character bears responsibility for things falling apart, and in which everyone sees themselves as the hero.
2010s: Madoka Magica - Imagine sticking your hand in a blender and you can't get it out, and your family, friends, peers are all watching you suffer and nobody is bothering to help, and you just have your hand swirling inside a fucking blender. That's what this show is like.
2000s: Kino's Journey - A calm, philosophical story that I find utterly entrancing.
1990s: Cowboy Bebop - This plays almost like a piece of music: play a theme, then play variations on that theme. Some episodes even repeat whole plots that the show did just half a dozen eps before, but they change perspective to make each variation completely fresh, all while quietly laying the foundation for the show's climax. It's masterful stuff.
1980s: Sapphire and Steel - Low-budget ghost stories with a sci-fi twist. This show is ridiculously low-budget, but uses that to its advantage, basing each plot thread in a single location (and thus just two or three shoddy sets) and allowing the actors and dialogue sell the slow-burn creepiness of each tale. I'm rewatching Assignment 2 right now and I am marveling at how brilliantly tense it is.
1970s: Anne of Green Gables - Isao Takahata's pacing here is amazing, perfectly adapting the novel to his new format.
1960s: The Prisoner - And all of you think that Twin Peaks is the best surreal television we've ever had. But did Twin Peaks have THIS!?

there's way too much current TV to watch for me to even think about watching the older stuff, even the classics. Someday I'll get to The Wire... someday.
2000s for me is probably The Office or Parks & Rec 2010s would be Breaking Bad S3-5, Game of Thrones S1-4, and probably Mr. Robot

1980s: Blackadder. HISTORY-Making. So Happy that this exists in life. 1990s: The Sopranos. Of course the majority of it takes place in 00s, but look at that 1999- ... 2000s: Toss up between Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Shout out to the American The Office. 2010s (1st half): Game of Thrones (the first four seasons ruled). 2010s (2th half): Maybe It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Or Louie. I left both of them unfinished somewhere... these last few years I just didn't consistently watch any show or that many newly released films.
Gave The Wire pilot a try a while ago. Loved it's tone and attention to detail but gonna get back to it when I have more peace of mind. It's demands focus, big-time.

60s - Monty Python's Flying Circus 70s - Fawlty Towers 80s - Blackadder 90s - Twin Peaks 00s - LOST (Arrested Development close second)' 10s - Dark is my favorite, but I guess Breaking Bad as its peak was in the 2010s (Chernobyl if mini-series are included though, the GOAT)
