LU's Favourite TV Show of All Time

[Misanthrope]

In the spirit of the vaguely successful 'LU's Favourite Movie' threads I've run sporadically over the last few years, I thought I'd do the same for the small screen.

How it Works

Send me a PM with your favourite 15 TV shows ranked 1 to 15. The show ranked #1 earns 15 points, #2 earns 14 etc.

At the end of it all, I'll do a count-down; either top twenty or top fifty, depending on the number of entrants.

Go! Go! Go!

I sent a PM but here's mine for all to see!

From First Onwards to 15th


The Twilight Zone - original b/w
RAGE - ABC video music
Get Smart
I Dream Of Jeannie
East West 101
The Young Ones
The Addams Family
Married With Children
Monty Phython's Flying Circus
The Chaser's War On Everything
The Munsters
The Outer Limits - original b/w
Steptoe and Son
Inspector Rex - SBS
Hale and Pace
All In The Family


Great idea too! Well done.

Can't wait for the whingers saying no....

Simpsons
Friends
Seinfeld....etc.

Those Yank creations are purely self indulgent pox.

Just thinking about it, if you take out the Twilight Zone mine are pretty much all going to be 90s onwards. I would be surprised if less than half weren't in the '00s

With the possible exception of Fawlty Towers or Monty Python, there'll be none from the pre 90s in mine, most likely.

 

[Springs]

That was hard. Had to leave out shows like Monty Python, Father Ted, Black Books, Whose Line, Colbert Report, Elfen Lied, Arrested Development, Flight of the Conchords, DBZ, Game of Thrones, Scrubs, X-Files etc etc etc

Could probably make a top 50 list

 

[BDR]

Sent mine in. Heavily weighted to comedy, and I included some that I love but I know aren't particularly well written or shot :lol:

1.Seinfeld
2. M*A*S*H
3.The Sopranos
4.The Wire
5.The West Wing
6.Breaking Bad
7.Mad Men
8.The Twighlight Zone ( original)

14.The Simpsons
15.Sports Night



Didnt include miniseries like BOB or Rome etc

Not a big fan of british TV.

Shoot me a PM so I don't forget. Not at my PC atm.

Community will be on my list too. Grossly underrated show.

 

[Pete Cash]

Community is an alright show but its pretty self indulgent.

 

[afinalsin666]

1. Community
2. Top Gear
3. Game of thrones
4. Breaking bad
5. Dragonball z
6. Walking dead
7. South park
8. How I met your mother
9. Scrubs
10. Arrested development
11. Drawn together
12. The Simpsons
13. Family guy
14. Tosh.0
15. Adventure Time

f**k Seinfeld and all them traditional "great" shows. My favorites right here.

 

[Pete Cash]

lmao railing against Seinfeld but including HIMYM in your top 15 bravo

 

[afinalsin666]

It's favourite bro. I give zero f**ks about popular opinion on these things. They are what I like.

More surprised you picked out himym rather than dbz honestly :lol:

Edit: Same as movies really. The "correct" answer is Schindler's list or some such. Give me batman any day of the week.

 

[Didgi]

Sitcom elitists are my favourite type of delusional geniuss.

 

[Misanthrope]

Close fought battle at the top right now.

63 - Drama
58 - Comedy
53 - Drama
51 - Comedy
48 - Comedy

And so far no votes for The OC, Big Bang Theory, or Neighbours

 

[Parra Pride]

Struggled making my top 15, would have been much easier if I didn't leave out my obscure as all hell anime that would make up the very large majority.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Sitcom elitists are my favourite type of delusional geniuss.

There are a few sitcoms that clearly stand above the rest IMO.

Are you havin' a laugh?
