With everyone spending a lot more time around the house as the coronavirus pandemic forces self-isolation and social distancing, there's never been a better time to binge your favourite TV shows.

If you like your series iconic and their casts award-winning then this count-down has you covered.

Let's get into it.

Number 10: Dawson's Creek

More than two decades since it first premiered, the trials and tribulations faced by Dawson, Joey, Jen and Pacey are as relatable now as they were then. Thank god they didn't have social media to worry about though!

It's hard to believe the series aired 20 years ago!

Number Nine: Grey's Anatomy

Celebrating its 15th year on air and with production having wrapped on its 16th season, the interns and residents of Seattle Grace hospital are still showing strong vital signs.

That said, Dr Meredith Grey and her colleagues experience almost everything but have never had a global pandemic to deal with. An idea for the next season perhaps?

Number Eight: Buffy and Charmed

Yes, I'm serving up a supernatural sandwich with Buffy and Charmed because it's impossible to choose between the two.

Join Sarah Michelle Gellar as she fights off vampires and all sorts of forces of darkness in a role that made her famous...and one she literally slayed.

If witches are your preferred supernatural species then the Charmed sisters have you covered as they too fight forces of darkness.

Number Seven: Parks and Recreation

I love a laugh, and if you're going to have one then why not do it with one of the funniest women in the world, Amy Poehler in Parks and Recreation.

The series also stars Marvel hunk Chris Pratt and I can assure you he is very, very funny.

This one is chock-full of laughs.

No list would be complete without Karen and Jack! Nothing says true friendship more than wanting to reunite with your buddies, six new seasons after a decade apart. That's what the gang did a few years back.

Enjoy every episode ever made of this comedy series. The final two new episodes of their last season ever will be dropping very soon.

Number Five: How I Met Your Mother

Catch up with Ted and his friends in this hilarious series, which I love. Throughout its nine-year run the show was nominated for 30 Emmy awards and took home 10. Not a bad run at all in my books.

Number Four: Family Guy and South Park

In fourth place is another tie, featuring my favourite two cartoon gangs, the Griffin clan from Family Guy and those naughty kids from South Park.

Both series have done their bit to offend us over the years and they've certainly hit the mark at times. I find them side-splittingly funny and that's why I can't split them at number four.

Number Three: The Office

If you're working from home at the moment and missing your work pals you probably don't work in an office like these guys.

Whether you prefer Ricky Gervais's original British version of The Office or the American adaptation staring Steve Carell, Stan has you covered.

The paper company offices are well and truly still open for business.

Number Two: Friends

Now, just to be clear, this isn't my personal pick at number two but I was well and truly overruled when I tried to sneak it out of the countdown.

I suppose it did win a swag of Emmys and People's Choice Awards over the years and with the much-anticipated reunion special postponed due to the coronavirus crisis, for now you've got all 236 episodes of the original 10 seasons to enjoy.

Number One: Seinfeld

And so the Friends vs Seinfeld debate rages on. I love Seinfeld and I stand by the fact it deserves its spot at number one.

It's highly original, with a cast of quirky characters like the beloved George Costanza – how can you beat it?
