Breaking Bad is the correct answer. Thanks for playing.
But almost all the other shows mentioned already are quite good.

Lonesome Dove--just so good, the miniseries and the book it came from. Thanks for reminding me.

Fawlty Towers the best comedy ever.
X Files (series 1,2 & 3) are probably best drama as they were so different at the time.

I loved Hogan's Heroes because it was so silly and unrealistic.
I loved MASH because it was so silly and realistic.

I forgot about this one. I was late to the party, having seen it for the first time just this past winter: Downton Abbey.

Drama: The Sopranos
Comedy: Seinfeld-Cheers
Night Soaps: Knots Landing & Dallas
The first 2 seasons of Knots Landing were released on DVD, but apparently sales didn't go well & they never released anymore 
Present Time: Pawn Stars, Hard-Core Pawn (canceled) Yellowstone, Naked & Afraid, Angie Tribeca (canceled) & although I don't like to admit it, American Dad & Family Guy. I like the dark/twisted humor, & the fact that they leave no group unscathed.

I am usually tired of most shows by the time they close out, e.g. we liked The Big Bang Theory but it had lost its appeal to us in the last couple of years.
The only three TV shows I can think of that I still wanted more of when they signed off were The West Wing, House and Northern Exposure...

Growing up I loved Gidget with Sally Field and Peter Duel. (Duel was also in Alias Smith and Jones, another good show) And Dark Shadows! Funny to watch it now...so cheesy! But we loved Quentin and Barnabas! Ha! I also loved Star Trek TNG. Jean-Luc Picard! Be still my heart

Just coming in to say this. Best damned series wrap up I've ever seen. Was bawling at the end of it but it was so perfect. Whole thing was just... wonderful. Characters you hated, then fell in love with, characters you loved and then hated. They grew, some grew up, some came out, some found love and meaning and through it all the cycle of love and birth and death and family and the whole "what is the meaning of life" type of thing. And lots of humor. And drama. And weirdness. And beauty. And sadness. And loss. And messy vibrant sometime heartbreaking sometimes joyful life... which I guess is the whole point of it all.
Any day above ground is a good day. 
But for me in no particular order (in addition to the above):
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
MASH
The Rockford Files
Murder She Wrote
Midsomer Murders
Barney Miller
WKRP In Cincinnati
The Office
The Venture Bros.
