I just love Locked Room Mysteries. If only someone would turn some John Dickson Carr books into a film, hopefully one day it will happen.

Edit: That reminds me I've got "The Case of the Constant Suicides" which I haven't starting reading yet. I might start that tomorrow

Ahhhh who doesn't love a good old list. I purposely snuck in a few more obscure choices into my top 5. Well ok 2 but still all it shows is that I watch too much comedy and not enough drama basically

1. The Simpsons
2. Blackadder
3. Match of the day
4. Life on Mars
5. 3rd Rock from the sun

If Raw counted for the last list goddam it Match of the Day counts for this one. I also put in 3rd Rock from the sun as its one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time. John Lithgow is a legend

1. The X-Files
2. Twin Peaks
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
4. Six Feet Under
5. The Wire

Carnivale and Deadwood came close, but I'm pretty sure that's my top 5.

1. The Simpsons
2. The Wire
3. The Sopranos
4. Twin Peaks
5. Battlestar Galactica (RDM)

Not hard at all, really. Give Mad Men another season, and it'll probably be on there. I love Firefly with a passion, and maybe if it had had a longer run it would have been a shoe-in. I've just been reminded how wonderful Arrested Development is as I've sat my friends down to watch it, but alas, I'm not sure any show has ever quite tugged the ole' heartstrings the way these have.

Re: my previous post in this thread - :fp:

If Arrested Development isn't in there then it's a travesty. I don't want to call Lost until its run its course.

Really hard to choose, but...

1. Farscape
2. ROME
3. Stargate SG-1
4. Love Hina
5. Spooks

...and I hope Friends, Frasier, Cheers and such get votes too.

OK, I've decided the points system will go as follows:

1st) 5 points
2nd) 4 points
3rd) 3 points
4th) 2 points
5th) 1 point

Simple enough. Placing will be allocated by:

-Total points, then
-Total number of votes, then
-Highest number of tier votes

Which means if three series receive say, 12 points each and:

Show A receives - Two 1st place votes and one fourth place vote
Show B receives - Two 2nd place votes, one fourth place vote, and one second place vote
Show C receives - Three 3rd place votes

Then the placing goes Show B, Show A, Show C as B received most votes, and A received two 1st place votes more than C.

Hopefully I've explained that properly.

Keep those votes coming!

For the record I voted as follows:

1) Spaced
2) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3) The Wire
4) Deadwood
5) Red Dwarf

I'm shocked and appalled Smallville isn't in that list.

So far there's only sixteen shows that have both five points and more than one vote.

Need all the votes I can get, keep voting!

Smallville is in a league of its own.

Anyone remember American Gothic? Now that was a great TV show. Sheriff Lucas Buck. One of the best villains/antiheroes of all time.

Never heard of it but I just looked it up on Wikipedia.

The story takes place in the fictional town of Trinity, South Carolina, and revolves around Caleb Temple (Lucas Black) and the town's corrupt Sheriff,Lucas Buck (Gary Cole).

Whaaaa? Just a big ol' coincidence?

1. The Simpsons
2. Deadwood
3. Futurama
4. Phoenix Nights
5. Fawlty Towers

I remember American Gothic. Got the DVD set somewhere too.

Still trying to select 5. Five from this lot probably: Lost, Arrested Development, Buffy, Angel, Dexter, 24, Flight of the Conchords, Life on Mars, Friends, Neighbours, Inbetweeners, Generation Kill, Taken, Supernatural, Peep Show, My Name is Earl, Prison Break, Malcolm in the Middle, Top Gear, Father Ted, Heroes, Futurama, Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, King of the Hill, 3rd Rock from the Sun....

Are sketch shows and comedy quizzes OK? If so, melist is:

1. The Sopranos
2. House of Cards
2. The Wire
4. Shooting Stars
5. The Fast Show (or) Big Train

Yeah, that's fine. Though I'll only the count the first four until you choose between The Fast Show and Big Train. Same for you Anung.

1. The West Wing
2. Firefly
3. Band of Brothers
4. Chuck
5. Spaced
