    Every tv show in the world is about to be cancelled. Except for five. You get to choose which five.

    Selfishly choose the five shows that get saved. Go.

    (I'm going to have a think about mine and get back to you.)

    You might as well if you don't like these brilliant shows and they get saved as I suspect they will.

    They've all already been canceled or run their course. So they would be safe under the conditions set out by the OP.

    Television died to me some years ago.

    Im looking at free to air now on my telebox.
    My choices are crufts or the paralympics or the deceptively titled film4 ... which does technically show a film but its nearly always some outdated and/or boring shyte. Even the addition of the god channel can't save tv.

    Internets wins.

    Just finished the 5 seasons of The Wire. Without a doubt the best show that was ever made.

    TBBT no matter how **** I feel, it always makes me laugh.

    GoT is amazing too. Can't wait for it to come back.

    Breaking Bad is great but overrated.

    Softy I didn't play your game OP, just needed to get that out there.

    I've never heard of half of these shows, never mind seen any of them. How the fluck do yous manage to keep track of what new shows are out?

    Life was simpler when there were only six channels.

    Only show I bother to keep up with at the moment is Archer.

    So, Archer.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I actually meant tv shows that are on now, since ones that aren't on anymore (The Simpsons, Friends, West Wing, Breaking Bad, 24 etc etc) can't actually be cancelled....

    Otherwise, The Simpsons, Friends and 24 would be on my list.

    ....a list which I am finding very hard to make!

    Did most people choose shows that aren't on any more because you don't like any of the shows that are being made these days?
