5. The West Wing

Points: 31

The West Wing ran for seven seasons between 1999 and 2006. This political drama has received a wide critical acclaim for its precise and detailed portrayal of life and work in the office. A large number of actors have been contracted for such a colorful project, most notable of all being Martin Sheen. During the course of seven seasons, The West Wing has won a couple of Golden Globes, 25 Emmys, and 91 other awards. That, and overall ratings of 8.8 on IMDb and 8.9 on TV.com have clearly been enough for it to make the list.
