This is actually a good ranking — I’d make a few swaps in the top 20 but weirdly matches my perception. The sole major exception, ironically considering who I’m QTing here, is the inclusion of LOST anywhere on that list
The New York Times’ final list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is now complete. What do you make of the final ranking? Which placements surprised you the most?

I’m not bothered by this but I AM bothered that the New York Times now considers “debuted” a word its writers may use. *Made* its debut. *Had* its debut. *Enjoyed* its debut. But never “debuted.” Or “exited” for that matter.

"On" debut is an irritating newcomer

Debuted is perfectly fine, as long as it is pronounced day-byood.
