From my original list, The Sopranos and Deadwood don't have 20+ episode seasons, so I don't think that's a necessary condition for high-quality television.

yeah most cable shows tend to have 10-12 show seasons,(sopranos, Wire, Shield, Deadwood, Carnivale etc) but most network shows tend to have 24 epsiode seasons (Lost, Scrubs, West wing, Friends, X files, etc) I just looked at my dvd shelf so excuse there being not many recent examples. But quantity doesnt equal quality. It jus tmeans when its good there's more of it to be good.
