Top 100 TV Shows

[Cardsfan]

And they're both shit.

Elementary was top of my list

Brilliant storylines and characters, the most relatable Sherlock and Watson out of the many attempts.

 

[hodge]

And they're both shit.

Robot Wars was class

 

[Rammy]

To round off the shows that didn't make the Top 100, we have our 26 pointers.

Twin Peaks featured on two lists, and sat atop of one of them. Elsewhere Everybody Loves Raymond, and that God awful show Gogglebox were present on three lists.

The others were all on two lists.

26pts
Twin Peaks *
Everybody Loves Raymond
Gogglebox
A League of Their Own
The Blacklist
The Newsroom

Tune in tomorrow, when the Top 100 countdown begins!!!

 

[Craig]

[Cardsfan]

Forgot the Newsroom but yeah, great series. The age difference between Will and Mack is criminal though.

Pretty sure the Newsroom and A League of their own we're both on my list. Surprised both aren't a lot higher.

 

[HarvSFC]

I refuse to believe anyone watches Gogglebox.

 

[Craig]

Gogglebox >> Robot Wars tbf.

 

[Rammy]

I forgot to mention that Twin Peaks has dropped out of the Top 100 for the first time. Last time out it finished in 50th, with a slightly better 43rd place in 2011.

 

[Hooray]

Think 11 or 12 of mine have made the Top 100

 

[HarvSFC]

I believe I've got 17 in the top 100.

 

[Gladders]

9 or 10 left I think, not bad seen as only 3 of my top 20 were released this century

 

[White Army]

Surprises me how few people watch the blacklist, really is a great show.

 

[Craig]

I've seen it, just didn't vote for it.

 

[White Army]

Good on ya Craig

 

[Madejski]

Robot Wars was one of mine, 13 remain for the top 100.

 

[Meadow]

Just one of mine made the 100 :-( Then again, I grew up in the golden era of TV (1970's) before most of you were born. It would be interesting to learn if most of you have heard of most of my nominations. I'll post the list up tomorrow.

 

[Murphy]

Robot Wars was great, probably the highlight of Jonathan Pearce's career.

 

[mistermagic]

I enjoyed The Newsroom. Sloan is like super hot. It still looks strange to see Jeff Daniels being serious after Dumb & Dumber.

 

[Meadow]

This is my list with the decades the progs were broadcast. No2 is somewhere in the top 100

1 Drop the Dead Donkey 90s
2 ?
3 Parkinson 70s-00s
4 Tenko 80s
5 Broadchurch 10s
6 Ballot Monkeys 10s
7 Ripping Yarns 70s
8 Rutland Weekend TV 70s
9 ER 90s-00s
10 Yes Minister 80s

13 A Very Peculiar Practice 80s
14 7 UP 60s-10s

17 Bedtime 00s
18 Outnumbered 00s-10s
19 Inspector Morse 80s-90s
20 Foyle's War 00s-10s

 

[mistermagic]

A series called 7UP sounds awesome.

 

[MagpieBee]

Drop the dead donkey is awesome, can't believe I forgot it off my list

 

[The Hand of Dom]

I love that someone else has helped get my number two in to the Top 100. Whoever you are, I love you.

 

[markpvfc]

I think The Blacklist, The Newsroom and Elementary were on my list, I was rather top heavy with Dramas for this.

100. Storage Hunters
Points: 27 | Lists: 2 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: N/A | 2011 Position: N/A
Seasons: 5 | Episodes: 84​

Storage Hunters is a reality show featuring a series of storage auctions. Made to look like a proper auction, what we really have is two or three sets of 'characters' who bid for the items within the storage locker. The others just look on, pretending to be interested.

The show has somehow managed to be more successful in the UK, after Dave picked up the rights to broadcast the three seasons. Due to this success, the show has recently been rebooted as a UK series, featuring the same host and some of the American bidders who have made guest appearances.

 

[JJH]

I forgot Storage Hunters - used to love that. Got a bit fed up of it in the end although, the auctioner was attempting some rapping shite when selling and it was coming across as a mumble.

Interesting show apart from that although.

This is my list with the decades the progs were broadcast. No2 is somewhere in the top 100

1 Drop the Dead Donkey 90s
2 ?
3 Parkinson 70s-00s
4 Tenko 80s
5 Broadchurch 10s
6 Ballot Monkeys 10s
7 Ripping Yarns 70s

9 ER 90s-00s
10 Yes Minister 80s
11 Love Hurts 90s
12 No Place Like Home 80s
13 A Very Peculiar Practice 80s
14 7 UP 60s-10s
15 Hill St Blues 80s
16 Moonlighting 80s
17 Bedtime 00s
18 Outnumbered 00s-10s
19 Inspector Morse 80s-90s
20 Foyle's War 00s-10s

Interesting. Although I considered 5 or 6 of those, none made my Top 20. My over 60's list from the mists of time was:

1. Northern Exposure
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. Tumbledown
6. Boys from the Blackstuff
7. Longmire
8. ???
9. ?
   
10. Q
11. The Young Ones
12. The Tube
13. Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin
14. ??
15. Callan
16. ?
17. The Singing Detective
18. Old Grey Whistle Test
19. Magic Roundabout
20. The Kenny Everett TV Show

So that leaves me with 7 in the Top 100. I guess it's a bloke thing more than a generation thing that influences preferences - as my battles for the remote confirm.

 

[Murphy]

Storage Wars is miles better than Storage Hunters.

Although the fact this has been chose has made me remember that I forgot Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, American Pickers and Shipping Wars, although only the first two would have made my list.

 

[Rammy]

I'm glad you forgot them.

99. Eastenders
Points: 27 | Lists: 2 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: 109th | 2011 Position: 173rd
Seasons: N/A | Episodes: 5089​

Back in the 1980's, the BBC decided they needed something to compete with Coronation Street, and they came up with this bullshit. Set in the fictional London borough of Walford, the show follows the ridiculous lives of the residents on Albert Square.

Somehow this show regularly wins in the UK ratings, often beating Coronation Street as the nations most watched show.
