August 30, 201014 yr 38 / I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! / 282 Points It's quite laughable how high this is to be honest, and it's only our lowest reality show! At #38 is this show set in the Australian outback where Ant and Dex put a bunch of Z-listed "celebrities" in a jungle for 3 weeks and make them eat kangaroo balls. Epic. 37 / Keeping Up Appearances / 289 Points Buzzjack's favourite character: Hyacinth Bucket At #37 is another British sitcom about eccentric, social snob Hyacinth Bucket (or Bouquet as it were). Essentially the whole show is about Hyacinth trying to convince the world she's some pompous bitch as far as I understand it, sounds a tad bizzare but whatevz. 36 / Loose Women / 290 Points I was wrong about I'm a Celeb, this is laughable. For some insane reason Loose Women, the daytime chat show hosted by a bunch of randy middle aged women bitching about their husbands and men in general has made it as high as #36. I'll let you guys field why this is so high, it drives me up the wall. I love all three! :D :wub:
August 30, 201014 yr SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH FTW i doubt it's even in this list tho cos you all smell of poo
August 30, 201014 yr Hollyoaks I use to enjoy quite a bit, but like the majortiy of the soaps it appears it's turned into absoulute rubbish though since it is being reported it's imporing I may give it another go. Never watched Gimme Gimme Gimmer, or 24 or Dexter. Though I would like to get round to those last two, Dexter in particular looks like something I'd really enjoy. American Dad is suprisingly enjoyable, it's reached a point now where Family Guy's overratedness has reached hideous levels. American Dad whilst not in the least bit original is enjoyable enough. Have I Got News For You is for me the best of all the panel shows, Ian and Paul are quite fabolous and the show often has briliant guests. Skins was very good, but simply isnt anymore and should be killed off. The show was always going to struggle to keep the momentum going but the fourth series hit a new low. I'm A Celeb also needs killing off, a once interesting show which was mildly entertaining but it now hideously boring to watch. I quite like Loose Women. I have no real defence for this tbh :(
August 30, 201014 yr Skins used to be amazing :( Especially the first two series, the last two had their moments but were on a whole quite $h!te, and just what was that ending to the last series?! Terrible. Hollyoaks is another I used to enjoy greatly, especially a good couple years back, I barely watch it these days and I have caught a couple of more recent episodes and they've been pretty dreadful. I'm A Celeb is either surprisingly entertaining or just downright $h!t, usually it's the latter these days but the series with Kerry/Jordan/Peter was a classic and the one with Janice Dickinson was pretty great too, even if it was just for her lol.
August 30, 201014 yr Seriously Buzzjack never ceases to amaze me [in all the wrong ways!]. Loose Women is disgusting. I won't even waste any more words on it. I do find AD! far funnier than FG as well though the characters in FG are much more compelling.
August 30, 201014 yr Loose Women is fantastic guilty pleasure TV and Dame Jane McDonald is a national institution.
August 31, 201014 yr SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH FTW i doubt it's even in this list tho cos you all smell of pooJust been getting back into this show (borrowed my mates DVD) I keep re-watching it. It's hilarious and Mr G is one of the greatest characters to ever exist. THE KIDS SAY "OMG MR G, WE'RE SO GLAD TO HAVE GOTTEN INVOLVED IN THAT PRODUCTION! THAT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE!" AND I TURN AROUND AND SAY... "cool" "Thank God You're Here. Grandma's Been Raped!" "So. What time do you call this?" "3..." "I expected you to be back at 2!" AMAZING. Also, one of the best scenes from the show: 8lohXhTOCtE "Miss Allen from the library has got 3rd degree burns" Can't remember if I nommed it, but if not I really should have :wub:
August 31, 201014 yr Keeping Up Appearances is amazing Loose Women is really fun to watch imo, and I'm a celeb has had some very good moments (like Janice Dickenson's series)
August 31, 201014 yr American Dad's fourth season was absolutely appalling, but the fifth season has been a huge improvment imo. Family Guy's latest season is probably its worst as well. However, American Dad is undoubtedly funnier - the third best comedy on TV imo. Behind '30 Rock' and 'Modern Family' - did either of those make it nto this list? ¬¬ Edited August 31, 201014 yr by PuffStaxxx
August 31, 201014 yr Author 30 Rock or Modern Family haven't really crossed over to the UK yet. I doubt they ever will. They're very 'American'. That said... 35 The Big Bang Theory 293 points Buzzjack's favourite character: Sheldon This brash American sitcom is more old-school than its fellow comedies like The Office or 30 Rock but it's becoming more popular with every season thanks to decent writing, having actual jokes and a likeable cast. Only two nights ago Jim Parsons who plays Sheldon, Buzzjack's character of choice, won an Emmy, and critical acclaim doesn't come much higher than that. In a way it reminds me of 3rd Rock From The Sun, probably because that was quite geeky too. Anyway I can happily sit through this but would probably never go to the effort of putting it on especially. A solid sitcom.
August 31, 201014 yr Keeping Up Appearances is terrible And Australian Jungle made me laugh :lol: Big Bang Theory should have been much higher
August 31, 201014 yr The Big Bang theory is the worst ''comedy'' i've ever seen. Even Kerching was better than it.
August 31, 201014 yr 34 / Futurama / 299 Points Buzzjack's favourite character: Leela Up next is this animated show from Matt Groening (creater of the Simpsons for those of you who live under a rock) which follows the adventures of a late 20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for a thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retrofuturistic 31st-century. Futurama is another one of those shows I've meant to get properly into, but what I've seen of it has been fairly great. =32 / Mock The Week / 303 Points And the first show to grace us at the joint #32 position is Mock The Week, the celebrity panel game hosted by Dara Ó Briain. The topic of the show is, as the title shockingly suggests, mocking the weeks events and alot of the shows 'points' are based on stand up comedy and improvisation to earn points. It is a brilliant panel show, (even though it's no 8 out of 10 cats) but it's gone downhill without Frankie <3
August 31, 201014 yr I used to love Futurama back in the day, now it's full of stupid confusing plots with the odd joke put in. Leela truly is amazing in it too <3.
August 31, 201014 yr 40 American Dad! 276 points Buzzack's favourite characters: Francine & Roger I watched this by chance and was pleasantly surprised to learn that despite its close relationship with Family Guy - both were created by America's favourite geek Seth MacFarlane - AD! is actually much, much funnier. The greatest character is surely Roger the alien, a camp extra terrestrial with a huge 5head and a penchant for trashy food whose presence in the Smith household is never questioned. The rest of the family is made up of dad Stan (a wildly incompetent CIA agent), ditsy but devoted wife and mom Francine, repulsive teenage nerd Steve, his gothic tearaway sister Hayley and the pet fish Klaus, who spends his life yearning for Francine and is actually a German athlete whose brain was inserted inside a fish's body by the CIA. If that sounds wonderfully bizarre it's because it absolutely is, and it's a great shame that Family Guy gets all of the attention when the jokes come so much faster in this. Hang your heads, Buzzjack. Probably in my Top 10 TV shows of all time! SO funny. I watched all of its 5 seasons in a very short period of time. Pisses all over AWFUL Family Guy which is not even funny in the very very very slightest. Can't wait for its return in september. 34 / Futurama / 299 Points Buzzjack's favourite character: Leela Up next is this animated show from Matt Groening (creater of the Simpsons for those of you who live under a rock) which follows the adventures of a late 20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for a thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retrofuturistic 31st-century. Futurama is another one of those shows I've meant to get properly into, but what I've seen of it has been fairly great. Crazily loved first 5 seasons but the new one has kind of lost it :( At least the first 5 episodes of season 6 i so far watched.
August 31, 201014 yr Keeping Up Appearances is WONDERFUL and Hyacinth Bucket should be QUEEN. And I wholeheartedly endorse the idea that American Dad is funnier than Family Guy. Because it IS.
August 31, 201014 yr Keeping Up Appearances is WONDERFUL and Hyacinth Bucket should be QUEEN. Agreed! Also Mock The Week is brilliant.
September 1, 201014 yr 'Big Bang Theory' is amazing! Sheldon & Penny's relationship/friendship/whatever it's called is brilliant and, imo is what makes the show. All in all though it's a very fun and likeable sitcom (as you rightfully pointed out) show.
September 1, 201014 yr 30 Rock or Modern Family haven't really crossed over to the UK yet. I doubt they ever will. They're very 'American'.

I love BBT :wub: so funny and it has Billie from Charmed :wub:
