GRcade's Best TV Series Ever - 2009 - THE RESULTS

Great job, nice list. Predictable, but worthy number one, I was very glad that The Simpsons still sits firmly at the top of the rankings, and especially pleased to see Twin Peaks get such a high place.

Bravo.

And here's how last year's Top 50 fared.

Gained Places
Peep Show - 29 places
The West Wing - 27 places
Blackadder - 24 places
The Shield - 24 places
House - 20 places
Six Feet Under - 18 places
Life On Mars - 15 places
Spooks - 13 places
Farscape - 12 places
The Wire - 11 places
Deadwood - 9 places
Spaced - 9 places
The X Files - 9 places
Star Trek: The Next Generation - 8 places
Band of Brothers - 7 places
Arrested Development - 5 places
WWE Raw - 4 places
Firefly - 2 places
The Office (UK) - 2 places
Weeds - 2 places
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 1 place

Dropped Places
Babylon 5 - 61 places
Angel - 58 places
Stargate SG-1 - 56 places
The Apprentice - 52 places
Heroes - 45 places
Supernatural - 38 places
Prison Break - 34 places
Friends - 24 places
Red Dwarf - 21 places
Family Guy - 20 places
Doctor Who - 16 places
Fawlty Towers - 14 places
South Park - 13 places
Dexter - 12 places
Seinfeld - 11 places
Scrubs - 10 places
Battlestar Galactica - 5 places
My Name Is Earl - 5 places
Curb Your Enthusiasm - 4 places
ER - 3 places
24 - 1 place
Father Ted - 1 place
Futurama - 1 place
Lost - 1 place
Oz – 1 place
The Sopranos - 1 place

The Simpsons stayed in the same position and there wasn't a single vote for either Malcolm in the Middle or Top Gear.

Heroes and Prison Break were the real losers here, both in the top ten a year ago and both fallen way way down the table.

I was actually going to guess that it was you.

How dare you. Here are mine:

1. Lost
2. 24
3. Futurama
4. The Shield
5. Battlestar Galactica (remake)
6. Peep Show
7. Family Guy
8. House
9. Friends
10. Smallville

Nice work Cutty, like the comparisons there. Poor Prison Break.

List needed more Flight of the Conchords though.

Aye.

I should have voted for it.

It's a more or less a very good list though tbh. Some shows obviously get their position by fanboy block voting (WWE), and others at outrage at the fact they got cancelled/were treated like gooseberry fool by the network. But all in all I don't have that much to complain at.

It's a far better list than last year. The Wire winning. The Simpsons, Arrested Development, The Sopranos all in the top five. Spaced in the top ten. Blackadder, Six Feet Under, Peep Show much higher and in the top twenty and both Office series placing fairly high.

Honestly except for a couple of the shows in 30-50 placing lower than they ought to there is nothing whatsoever to complain about here.

Aside from Smallville obviously.

Yeah whats that all about, I know I should of voted for it.......

Also Season 4 & 5 of lost have been all kinds of awesome 10x better than 2 & 3

Absolute poppycock!!!!!!!!!!! Heroes is one of the finest shows ever made and should easily be in the top 5. Angel is miles better than Buffy the bloody whinging woe is fkin me vampire slayer. Also, no sign of Cold case or criminal minds.

Sophmoric morons, the lot o ya

Wow, that's, that's a whole lot of wrong in one post.

Last year's results wrote:8. Heroes

What were you people thinking? :lol:

Mother of God.

That was probably more towards the first series. No i didn't vote for Heroes, i didn't vote at all.

Im right , your all VERY wrong. Heroes is immense.

Oh Jesus. You don't actually think this right? No-one can actually like the drivel that Heroes now amounts to, seriously.

disappointed that NO-ONE else voted for Day of the Triffids or V. Both are classic mini-series...es. And both are receiving remakes because they were so successful first time.

Wild Palms I admit was a bit indulgent...

Are you 'avin' a giraffe?

WWE ahead of Six Feet Under? Epic fail. :fp:

Decent list overall though.
