Since when has quantity been an indicator of quality? There's a f**k tonne of Two and a Half Men episodes...
62 episode is equivalent to 3 seasons (yes I know, BB has 6 seasons), but if you're going to judge a show based on that, then a show with 1 really brilliant episode should be up there too.

The Simpsons first 7-8 seasons were brilliant and they should be #1 in my opinion.

Breaking Bad had 5 seasons of really good quality. And a solid season or two was masterpiece level. So it was 62 episodes of quality, which is a 100% success rate. Most shows would f**king kill for half that.

What are you basing the 100% success rate on?

Quality. Never watched a bad episode, and i assume everyone else who voted it so high are the same.

Seriously, you never base how good a show is off how much the network wants to keep it around. Simpsons would be long gone if FOX actually paid the cast any royalties at all, for example. Networks are notoriously geniused.

Any chance you could do a full list with everyone's no.1 like NT did in the game thread Mis?

I can post a complete list but unfortunately, I didn't keep track of each person's individual votes. I'll do that for the movie count-down I'm preparing to launch into.

What the f**k is this dumb logic :lol:

Probably will always be my number 1. In it's prime, no show has entertained me more.

The best shows usually have less episodes as they know when to stop. Shows that go for 100+ episodes usually run out of ideas and turn to shit.

Good to see whose line get a mention. Hilarious in it's prime. New episodes are funny too, but damn they look old.

Never seen breaking bad, but love the Simpsons. Probably would't have made a difference if I contributed.

I didn't think so. It highlighted Walt's need for control, his obsession for it. He couldn't control the fly so he lost his shit, because he is a very unstable man. It was just a metaphor for losing his power in the overarching story.

Yeah sure it is.

I used to love watching it every afternoon after school. Preferred the UK version but the US version did have Wayne. Colin and Ryan ftw.

yep, it was one of those 'character building' episodes that needed to happen. Still better than most crap on tv.

I would have voted for DBZ if it was anywhere even remotely close to being my favourite anime series, which it's not. I didn't list any others because they would have ended up in the list of shows that no one else here watches because they have shit taste.

Am I now? That's news to me.

Yes, you are

Was once was my favorite show

And since I know how predictably stupid you are and your next response will be "but not any more *insert gay wink here*" I'll address that by saying I don't care whether you hate the show post-Sheen's meltdown, it was once your favourite show and you're a fan of the Charlie Sheen era hence your television opinion is irrelevant.
