The teen years are both the best and the worst. You're experiencing so many firsts—first love, first real friendship, first time driving a car—as your whole future sits in front of you. But you're also trying to piece together who you are while feeling all the things, navigating the horror that is other teens, and then there's homework. And yet, the same reasons why the teen years are so complicated to live through are why they make for such dramatic, compelling television.
To kick off EW's I Want My Teen TV series, we've ranked the 50 best teen television shows of all time. Before you start telling us all the reasons we're wrong, let us lay out our guidelines for how we defined a "teen show."
We chose to include shows that prominently feature characters between the ages of 13 and 19 and tackle what we deem as "teen issues." That means you'll see a bit of middle school, and a bit of college on this list. It also means you'll see shows that focus a lot on the parents, such as Friday Night Lights or Gilmore Girls. One thing you won't see? Anything we felt thought was more of a "family show," with much of the drama taking place inside the family unit and thus inside the home. (Think 7th Heaven and Blossom.) Admittedly, a couple of these shows toe the "family show" line—we're looking at you, Fresh Prince and Party of Five—but you'll find all of our reasoning in the blurbs below.

ON MY BLOCK
(Netflix, 2018) A motley crew of Black and brown teens is searching for hidden treasure and themselves in Netflix's On My Block, a much-needed series centering on underserved communities whose high school experience is often relegated to the background. At the center of the L.A.-based tale are Monse (Sierra Capri) and her crush Cesar (Diego Tinoco), two kids from the same inner-city neighborhood who find love amid gang wars and family trauma. It's definitely not all doom and gloom, especially when fully immersed in their wild adventures are friends Jamal (Brett Gray), Ruby (Jason Genao), and Jasmine (Jessica Marie Garcia). But a mysterious character named Chivo (Emilio Rivera) is often lurking around and he has homies of his own that rival the teen squad. As literal ceramic gnomes (known as gnomies), it's easy to dismiss them, but it's worth noting how they're never too far away from the mayhem. —Rosy Cordero

(E4, 2007) Skins dared to be bold. Over three generations of characters, the British series provided a new look at the lives of teenagers. It showed viewers a slice of life in Bristol, a grittier tale compared to other stories about young people. Fans will remember when Chris (Joe Dempsie) is taken away too soon
