24/Lost/WWE > Six Feet Under

Maybe if you had voted for more than three shows Fawlty Towers wouldn't be below Scrubs.

Explain to me how that would have worked?

So given seven more choices you wouldn't have voted for the show you think outrageously placed beneath another?

That's not what you said.

And I really didn't see the point in taking all the time to think of another 7 when the list would be complete shite anyway.

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 got three votes but only six points. It actually finished 93rd.

You bastard you just made me check your vote. :lol:

Anyway, here's the rest of the list, I'll work on the changes later.

Total points (Total votes)

EDIT - Almost forgot EastEnders there.

Propcho, Chris Partcho...uh...

Who voted for Heroes?

The Munsters?!? Man, that voter needs naming and shaming.

Just a single point would have seen it replace E.R.

Am I the only person who voted for HIMYM :cry:

There's also a disturbing dominance of Drama/Comedy on that list, the only thing that doesn't fall into that (or a mix of) category is a soap for crying out loud.

What, like how what all TV generally falls under?

And:

=62. Match of the Day – 12 (2)

And Raw. Not that I had anything to do with that whatsoever.

o/ to whoever else voted MOTD

Raw was the soap.

And MOTD didn't make the final list, but yes that would be an example of what I'm talking about.

Sure Drama, Comedy are the dominant categories but stuff like Top Gear, Have I Got News For You, Planet Earth, Walking with Dinosaurs, Question of Sport etc.

All are the kinds of things that should be making this list but I bet weren't even considered by 99% of people who voted. Yes I should have voted properly but still.

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.

Peep Show - 29 places
The West Wing - 27 places

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.
