The high ration of contemporary shows in peoples answers suggests to me they don't really get the concept behind "ever." I'd say MASH or maybe The Simpsons or Seinfeld, outside of the US I suppose the impact and influence of The Office is hard to move past. Not sure about what are the defining "Drama's" of all time, most Dramas I watch are Australian and therefore likely have had limited impact.

you make a good point...
didn't really watch TV back in the day, but Arthur is the best fucking show ever
or Doctor Who, almost 50 years and going strong; further testament for all the non-watchers to just how brilliant it is.

Okay, being realistic, more like 35 - there was the break between 1989 - 2005
But, minor details

Yeah Dr Who is a fair call, I'm not a fan of the show personally but its long lasting success, it's ability to reinvent itself etc is commendable.

I agree- they can literally change the whole show whenever they feel like they need to.

There's more to it than that, merely fitting into a shows narrative structure doesn't make changes neccessarilly successful but to my knowledge Dr Who has adapted itself quite seamlessly to social evolution. Incidentally I think I might be the only person who likes Matt Smith but doesn't really like Dr Who, he was on a show called Party Animals a few years back and was absolutely brilliant in it.
