#1 The Wire, #2 Sopranos, #3 Deadwood.
Those are elite shows that reward repeated viewings seemingly without limit, as do Game of Thrones, Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The first half of Season 5 of Breaking Bad was good enough that I went back and rewatched the rest of it, wondering if it was better than I'd remembered. It wasn't. It's a fine show but I doubt I'll watch it again, putting it in roughly the same company as Weeds, Mad Men, Lost, and Dexter. I might rewatch Parks & Rec, Community, Rome, Sherlock and 6 Feet Under, but doubt I'll ever consider them elite. Boardwalk Empire is enjoyable but I don't see it landing in the elite category.
