The Writers Guild of America named mob classic "The Sopranos" the best-written television series of all time, topping a list of 101 shows that also honored "Seinfeld," "The Twilight Zone," "All in the Family" and "M*A*S*H*."
"No show has been more responsible for TV’s storytelling renaissance, in which writers use character both as engines for commenting on the contemporary world and for teasing out the ways in which action reflects psychology in the troubled inner lives of real people," wrote Paul Brownfield, introducing the list.
