16. WWE

18. Gillette Soccer Sports

Interesting choices. I was debating whether to include WWE or not, but went against it as I thought Pavel would just dismiss it. I'll nominate it though, but I doubt anyone else would be voting for it :lol:

 

How could I forget 'Celebrity Juice' though?!

HOW COULD I FORGET THIS

I almost did too! It was the last one I added to try and make a round 20, I've seen her in someone's signature recently.

 

OH SNAP.

Tbh, Both should be a lot HIGHER, but I don't watch WWE unless it's with you (which we MUST do on Monday) Did you get my text btw? It seems as if it's true!

Definitely watching on Monday. Can't miss the 1000th episode! (Even if I know it's going to be terrible!) Yes I did! I was working when I read it so couldn't text you back. Will reply now though! Gutted if it is indeed, true. :(

1) Six Feet Under

2) In Treatment

3) Buffy the Vampire Slayer

4) The Simpsons

5) Battlestar Galactica (2004)

6) Lost

7) South Park

8) Angel

9) Parks & Recreation

10) Futurama

 

I'll leave it as my Top 10 for now.

I'm not sure whether game shows (how BORING of y'all to nominate stuff like POINTLESS) fall under the 'reality' category.

 

Pavel, where is BIG BROTHER in your list :o

Because I value scripted TV much higher nowadays even though I love Big Brother A LOT.

 

I'm surprised some people watch so much more British TV than American. They do drama SO MUCH BETTER.

 

INDEED.

 

You won't even want to go back to watching British TV once you spend some time with American TV shows. :D

Until the Americans master the art of the PERIOD DRAMA there'll always be a need for watching British TV.

1) Six Feet Under

Is this actually any good (well you have it at number 1, so I assume you love it ha!)? I was never really interested in it, but seeing as Michael C. Hall was in it (I had no idea until about a month ago or so!!) I wanted to give it a go but was never sure if I would be all that interested in it. I have no idea what it's about, other than it's based in a funeral home sort of thing.

Who even needs period dramas?! It's all about procedurals and science fiction (a la Lost and Fringe).

He's playing a gayer there too <3

Well whilst those 2 genres account for about 90% of the best stuff on TV, there's always room for a DOWNTON ABBEY work of towering fabulosity.,

21. 'Summer Heights High'

Finally somebody else has nominated this! I couldn't believe for one second that I was the only person to after seeing the love-in for it in the Angry Boys thread last year. I'm not sure whether to nominate the (not as good) We Can Be Heroes though D:
