If I look at it as "what were my favourites back when they were on" as opposed to what I think is "best" looking back, my list would probably be pretty similar to some of the earlier posts.
As a kid it was Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights, the one time we were allowed to watch TV with dinner, and the Muppet Show. In my early teens after school it was (ineligible show) and WKRP in Cincinnati.
I remember being hooked on the original Battlestar Galactica (even if it doesn't really hold up) and V.
Later, in addition to (ineligible show TNG) I was really into the X-Files, despite being uneven and going off the rails in later seasons (not even going to talk about the ill-advised revival). Sliders started well but declined, Space Above and Beyond was cancelled way too soon. Also Babylon 5, I didn't get hooked at first but got drawn in later on, and then Stargate SG-1.
I actually struggle to remember what I watched between then and more recent times and shows like Game of Thrones, I think lots of shows that were quickly cancelled or didn't leave a huge impression.
