Arrhg! I forgot Duckman... What a fantastic show, sad that they had such difficulty with the rights and all, no dvd

The entire series is on DVD in two boxsets. They've been out for a while.

Rank of shows has been updated to post #210. Waiting for a few pm's to come back regarding some votes.

Will let this thread burn until at least mid-week, maybe even Friday and then I'll post the final results.

I was considering having a few sub-categories when I post the results, similar to what Ani does for the GotY threads.

Here are the categories:

Best Show
Best Drama
Best Sitcom
Best Sci-fi (may change this to "Best Sci-fi with spaceships" if people don't consider Lost a true sci-fi)
Best Animated Comedy
Best Animated Show (Non-comedy) - For shows like Batman TAS and Avatar the Last Airbender
Best Show That Got Cancelled
Best Non-fiction Show (doco's, food shows, and Top Gear)

I won't do best anime on the basis of this thread, because there was a far better voting thread for that.

Your thoughts on these categories and suggestions for others would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, LOST isn't a sci-fi show (not really).

Will you also include the plain top-ten?


Good job, BTW.

 

[Bernbaum]

Will you also include the plain top-ten?

Of course!

Probably will just do the top 100, with scores so people can see how close certain shows were (re: The Office UK vs US has been interesting to watch each time I've updated the list!).

Because of the voting system, the order of shows beyond the first 100 or so won't really mean anything, because a lot of shows only have 1 or 2 votes.

 

[The Storyteller]

Really? Really?

Really? Really?

"We're either in the past or we're in the future."

You know, I like you. And I'm beat from debating Lost-stuff, so, can we skip to the part where we agree to disagree?

Hate to be a nuisance, but I just edited my post. #209

 

[Bernbaum]

^^^^
Changed, thanks for the heads up.

BTW, the only other vote that I've changed because someone edited it was Desperado's, and that's only because he told me. I will not be checking these twice, so if anyone has changed their vote, please let me know and include the POST NUMBER, this makes it a hell of a lot easier to change.

The number of you that haven't watched The Shield is depressing. I don't think any other show has executed a story so well, especially a story that spans 7 seasons. It proves that television is just as good a storytelling medium as any other, it's just a remarkable piece of fiction.

 

[Bernbaum]

The Shield is currently ranked 20th, directly ahead of big GAF favourites Chuck, Star Trek TNG and Friday Night Lights.

When will you...make final tally?

 

[Bernbaum]

When will you...make final tally?

I'm thinking end of this week. Want to have as many votes in as possible to avoid ties (and there are a few), but won't set a closing time just yet.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Whenever I see a top 10 list and don't see the Wire on there, I know that person right there has not seen the Wire yet.

 

[Bernbaum]

^^^^

For people voting for the Wire, it is almost always in their top 5, and it has some of the most #1 votes from voters, meaning that people that have watched it, really love it. There are other shows which have done well in the tally which have not recieved #1 votes, but are universally loved by most and appear in the lower ranks of a lot of lists (Futurama).

I will start watching the Wire this week!
