63. America's Next Top Model • 179 points
  77-83-63No. of votes: 6, Highest score: 38 (Mattias) 20th May 2003 - 4th December 2015 (22 seasons) • Reality TV It has recently been revealed that America's Next Top Model will in fact be ending with the current series. That is not to undermine it's success though as 22 seasons is a fantastic number and it has been one of The CW's most successful shows. Tyra Banks has overseen all of the seasons with a number of other notable models, such as Janice Dickinson and Twiggy, also making appearances as judges. Each week, contestants are judged on their overall appearance, participation in challenges and their best shot from the week's photo shoot, with someone being eliminated each week. After the first initial shows, each contestant will also receive a makeover. Despite all it's success, the show has been criticsed for it's cruel judging and it degrading and humiliating women. The show will of course be best known for giving us this amazing moment and Buzzmeme:

62. Come Fly With Me • 180 points
  xx-xx-62No. of votes: 12, Highest score: 34 (Ultraviolence1989) 25th December 2010 – 27th January 2011 (1 series) • UK TV and Soaps Come Fly With Me was a sketch show from David Walliams and Matt Lucas, reuniting after their HUGELY successful 'Little Britain' series and it was a spoof of the documentaries 'Airport' and 'Airline'. I'm SO happy that this managed to qualify for the final and be so high as well! Praise the Lord! It sadly only aired for one series much each sketch is so memorable and SO funny, with coffee kiosk manager, Precious Little being one of my favourite sketch show characters of all time. It was a very accurate parody both in it's style and some of the characters featured, although all exaggerated of course. Personally, I feel the show is a lot more well known than you might expect for something that only ran for one series. I always see this image crop up on my Facebook:

61. Will & Grace • 181 points
  47-24-61No. of votes: 9, Highest score: 39 (Liam) 21st September 1998 – 18th May 2006 (8 seasons) • International TV Another well-loved show that I'm not going to do justice having never watched it is Will & Grace. The popular sitcom is suprisingly based around the relationship between Will (a gay lawyer) and Grace (a straight interior designer). It was the first primetime US series to star openly-gay lead characters and so it has been praised for improving public opinion of the LGBT community. Joe Biden, the US Vice President stated that it "probably did more to educate the American public" on LGBT issues "than almost anything anybody has ever done so far". Others have said that the sitcom used "comedy to familiarize a mainstream audience with gay culture" that was "daring and broke ground" in American media. One of the most popular characters was Grace's assistant, Karen who loves her alcohol and provides some of the best comedy moments. The show was hugely successful, managing to win 16 Emmys, with all four stars managing to win one, and a massive 83 nominations. |

'S.H.I.E.L.D.' & 'Brooklyn 99'. <3 Both deserved to do far better in this. Agreed with your write up on AoS! It's definitely found it's feet a lot more since 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' and really held it's own. This season has so far been fantastic! Marvel are on a huge roll for me. 'Brooklyn 99' is filling my HIMYM void extremely nicely! Although a very different type of show, HIMYM finishing left a HUGE HOLE in my heart and B-99 came at the right time <3
'Come Fly Me' is also EXCELLENT. I really wouldn't mind if they did an hour Xmas special or something! |

60. The Good Wife • 182 points
 37-46-60No. of votes: 6, Highest score: 40 (PaulM1983, Johnkm) 22nd September 2009 (7 seasons) • International TV I'm aware that there's a lot of avid fans of The Good Wife so I apologise in advance for having never seen it before. The show is a legal and political drama that mainly uses the serialized format but has overarching story lines as well, with these coming into more prominence in its latter seasons. It sees a woman whose husband has been jailed following political corruption and a sex scandal. In order to provide for her two children, she returns to her old job as litigator. The show has been very heavily praised by critics and has managed to win 5 Emmys. It has also seen praise for its use of technology within the show, exploring many a relationship between techonology and the law. The show also sees one of Johnkm's favourite QoL's Christine Baranski in a main role. |

59. Russell Howard's Good News • 183 points
 xx-42-59No. of votes: 9, Highest score: 30 (Liam) 22nd October 2009 - present (10 series) • UK TV and Soaps We've seen Mock the Week earlier in the countdown but one of the stars of that show, Russell Howard, sees his own show, Good News, place higher at 59. It follows on from the nature of Mock the Week by looking back on the news of the week in a humorous way. As the title suggests, Russell tends to avoid the heavy news of the week by picking out the funny moments of the main news as well as looking to local news from all around the world. The show mainly uses the stand-up format but also includes sketches and recurring gags/clips. One feature of the show also sees a guest who has been in the news that week for an odd reason and Russell has to guess why. To live up to the show's title even more, it ends with a heart-warming story e.g. someone who has achieved an amazing feat or has helped to aid someone. Good News 'Extra' would also feature 15 minutes of stand-up from an up and coming act but this has now been dropped. It originally started off on BBC Three but Russell has now moved to BBC Two due to the closure of the former channel. |

58. Homeland • 183 points
 10-17-58No. of votes: 8, Highest score: 39 (Sarah) 2nd October 2011 - present (5 seasons) • International TV The first show that has previously come Top 10 in a previous Buzzjack TV countdown to feature this year is 'Homeland' which has suffered quite the drop. Indeed, the show was a massive talking point with it's first two seasons with many celebrities, including the US President, naming it as one of their favourite shows. It initially centred on Brody, a prisoner of war making his return to the US, being hailed as a war hero. However, Carrie Mathison, a CIA officer with bipolar disorder was the first to have her suspicions that he had actually been turned by Al-Qaeda whilst he was held captive and was working undercover for them. The show became an interesting 'is he/isn't he' before we learned the truth that Carrie's suspicions were true and the tension became whether they could stop Brody and the threat of terrorism. With many shock revelations and cliffhangers throughout the first two seasons, viewers were kept on the edge of their seat. However, there was only so long the writers could keep up the Brody storyline and, in the long run, rewriting the Season One finale to keep Brody alive led to significant problems and a very underwhelming third season that was unsure of the story it was trying to tell. A revitalised fourth season saw it back up to the quality of the first two with a focus in Pakistan, bringing back the tense scenes Homeland was known for. The fifth season is currently airing but has so far not been as good for me. All this is underlined by Carrie's problems with coping with her bipolar disorder and her constant crying became a mixture of drama/hilarity/annoyance. There have been a number of random subplots throughout (mainly surrounding Brody's daughter Dana who was suddenly dropped following her father's departure) and it's also known for it's unbelievable plots but that's why we love it. |

57= The Voice UK • 187 points
 126-40-57No. of votes: 12, Highest score: 34 (harryflynn) 24th March 2012 - present (4 series) • Reality TV Sitting in a position that its winners could only dream of when it came to their debut single, The Voice UK falls next. For such a neutral show (especially in comparison to its rivals), The Voice UK has attracted a lot of controversy over the years. Admittingly, a lot of it has come from the fact that it's shown on the BBC, who have caved into pressure with the show now moving to ITV in 2017. The format was already a success all over the world (and helped bring us 'Moves Like Jagger') so it was always bound to hit UK screens. The first series brought us the megastars Tom Jones and will.i.am as well as Danny 'from the Script' and, relative newcomer back then, Jessie J. The country increased their love for will but I think it's safe to say that the show was a bad career move for Jessie, marking the start of a sort of downfall as we got to know more of her as a person. The show was a big hit with its blind auditions as they helped bring something new to our screens and it became an interesting way, after years of sob stories and joke acts, to judge someone purely on their voice. However, the problem does come once the judges, or rather COACHES, see their faces as it becomes like any other singing show albeit with a shout-off round and lower production values. All attention was focused on the finalists and how successful they would turn out to be, until the winner missed the Top 40 with her single a week later. This turned out to be a sign of things to come as with more contestants but less live shows to get to know them better, random results start to occur which means that the competition starts to become one of pot luck. Things looked set to improve when finalist Leah McFall got the show the first Top 10 single with her performance of 'I Will Survive' but a lack of support from the BBC's radio stations (as well as elsewhere) meant she didn't secure a hit following the show. Kylie, Rita and Ricky Wilson have all appeared as coaches as well but, throughout it's four series, the show has failed to produce one successful artist. Becky Hill may have scored a number one single, as well as another Top 10 but both were as featured artists and only Tyler James from the first series has secured two solo Top 40 hits with original releases. It remains to be seen what will happen with this year's winner, Stevie after his blink and you'll miss it Top 10 but I think we can assume. Next year's final BBC series will see Boy George and Paloma Faith join. 187 points also marks a big improvement on its -1 points it got the first time.

57= Modern Family • 187 points
 93-105-57No. of votes: 8, Highest score: 36 (SLlewellyn) 23rd September 2009 - present (7 seasons) • International TV One of the most successful US comedies of recent years is 'Modern Family' which is still holding strong in it's seventh season. However, it's success has never really transcended properly over here, perhaps down to it only being shown on Sky. The premise of the show is that it is a mockumentary following three interrelated families. These three families represent a range of familial relationships: an old man and his young wife, a husband and wife and children and two gay men and their adopted daughter. The cast have gone on to recieve some of the highest paid fees in TV and the show has been credited for reviving the sitcom format. It's also been praised for mixture of heart and laughs and lovable characters. However, many critics have suggested a wain in quality as it has gone through the years. |

55. Spongebob Squarepants • 189 points
 xx-xx-55No. of votes: 9, Highest score: 38 (Pavel) 1st May 1999 - present (9 seasons) • International TV One of the ultimate children's classics makes an impressive impact on this countdown. It's one of those shows that has had such a big impact that you don't need to have seen a single episode to know who Spongebob, and other characters, are. Spongebob obviously lives in a pineapple under the sea, in Bikini Bottom nonetheless, where his best friend Patrick also resides. He works at the Krusty Krab with his moody and grumpy neighbour Squidward. The show has been a HUGE success for Nickelodeon and one of the most successful children's TV shows of all time. It has spawned two films, one fully (well. mainly fully) animated in 2004 and one as recently as this year that was mainly set in the real world!

54. How I Met Your Mother • 192 points
 106-63-54No. of votes: 7, Highest score: 34 (Jonjo) 19th September 2005 - 31st March 2014(9 seasons) • International TV Humour is of course very subjective which is why reactions towards sitcoms can be very polar but one of the most divisive sitcoms is How I Met Your Mother. Overlooking (mine) and many people's criticism of it, the show was hugely successful, managing to last nine seasons and enabling it to reach a natural end. The revolves around the main character, Ted, telling his children in 2030 all about the events that led him to meeting their mother (shock). This allows different storytelling techniques allowing events to be told from multiple points of view or forgotten names to be blanked out. As has been said, the show is very divisive but the finale went even further with many criticising that it went against the whole premise of the show and contradicted many previous episodes. |

53. The IT Crowd • 195 points
 29-41-53No. of votes: 8, Highest score: 36 (Froot) 3rd February 2006 - 27th September 2013 (4 series) • UK TV and Soaps Thankfully, one of my favourite ever sitcoms has beat that thing in 54. The IT Crowd highlights how good British comedy can be as it's something that could never work in the US and, yes, they've tried attempted to do so. It's mainly focuses on the IT Department of a successful company, with the deparment made up of Jen, someone who knows nothing about computers and Roy and Moss, two computer geeks. The head of Reynholm Industries is also a main character, with Denholm starring in the first series and his son taking over in the other series. The cast work so well together and there is at least a laugh a minute. The show thrives of odd situations and it's at its best when things escalate beyond the point of no return. One of my favourite episodes, based around Gay: A Gay Musical is a perfect example of this where Roy decides to use the disabled toilet which, through a chain of events, leads to him being in a minibus that has an end destination of many miles away. Another highlight episode is one that is based around Countdown, where it portrays a secret member winner's club, inspired by Fight Club. Every episode is ultimately a highlight though and the quality never slips up, in fact you may even say it improves as time goes on. The cast returned for one final episode in 2013, seeing them become viral stars for all the wrong reasons as well as Jen still believing the entire internet was in one box. |
