Oh that’s a great answer. I might have to change mine now

I’m not entirely clear on the term. By my understanding it just indicates superior quality right? It’s pretty hard to quantify though. I guess personally I would say it can’t be really be prestige if it’s episodic. A show that keeps going on just to keep going on is by definition not the highest quality right? So I guess the earliest show I can think of right now that fits my admittedly arbitrary definition is Band of Brothers.

After reading this I’m starting to think Jonathan Lithgow might be a wee bit senile.
