Just for fun I was reflecting on the lore sources in Fallout (Shush Im not weird). I thought Id share them with you and see if you can think of more or want to quibble a ranking of authority.

1st Fallout 4, Fallout 3, Fallout NV
2nd Fallout 1 & 2
3rd Fallout 76, Fallout: The Role Playing Game, Fallout TV Show
4th Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Fallout Bible
5th Tweets/comments by Team, Fallout Shelter, Fallout Pinball, Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, Fan Theories
6th Canceled Movies, Video Games, and TV projects

Fallout BoS on the same level as Bible and above Tactics? (well none of them are canon but Fallout Bible at least was? in some capacity? and Fallout Brotherhood is an atrocity)
also there's a pinball game apparently. lol.
If by fallout show you mean the new show, then I'm sure Amazon will disappoint and it will be far from established lore. Not that I'm a lore nerd and a super gatekeeper. 76 with all its apparent flaws (take it with a grain of salt as I never played it) is an official game at least. Anyway, for me 1-2 would take priority, then 3-NV (with a side note that 3 was probably intended to take place much earlier), then 4, 76 and everything else.
 
Fact is, as much as it might be written now by people who at best speed-read the TVTropes pages for the old games (which as we all know doesn't have any rules about outright making stuff up to put on there, unlike wikipedia) then claimed to be life long fans, Bethesda DOES own the property now, so their works have to take precedence.
