Best TV Show EVER - Boardsies Decide: Tournament Thread

Necro

Right...



Just getting the first match ready, let's get started, shall we?

Electric Nitwit

When we're voting, relevant gifs count double, right?

Necro

Let's start with something somewhat interesting shall we? Though it remains to be seen if it will be competitive.


The Office (US)





VS



Fair City






First to 7 votes advances, and reminder to give a reason. Let's start as we mean to go on folks!

Toto Wolfcastle

Jesus. The Office, obviously, because it’s actually entertaining and well acted.

Krombopulos Michael

The Office (US) The Jim - Dwight pranks are memorable even years after watching.

Electric Nitwit

Ha ha, I have to vote Fair City in memory of my nanna, she loved it!

I fully expect it to lose though

I don’t watch either

The Office because I have never seen a single episode of fair city.

banie01

The office!

That fairly shítty is even nominated is a travesty :pac:

quickbeam

Fair City? Pfft! The Office, obviously. It's genuinely funny.

DaveNoCheese

The Office, it's not only very funny but also has some tearjerker moments too.

Have never watched The Office , (awaits onslaught) so Fair City for nostalgia reasons !

FortuneChip

Fair City a token joke entrant?

The Office. Went on too long, but had some great seasons.

Necro

The Office US advances 7-2

Fwiw this would have been my vote:

The Office.

Fair City isn't even a good soap.

The Office US is excellent, well worth a watch for those who haven't seen it. Just blank out the last season or so when the quality starts to dip.

Well that’s that out of the way

Necro

Next up is one that will likely be more competitive

Friends






VS


Red Dwarf

Niska

Red Dwarf.

Because I believe in Silicon Heaven.

Electric Nitwit

Red Dwarf

Again, the quality dropped in later series but at its best it was clever, original and very, very funny

I never really got Friends, just a poor man's Coupling

Toto Wolfcastle

Definitely Friends. 25 years on and people still watch it regularly. It’s more a cultural phenomenon than a TV show.

Friends.

I really like Red Dwarf but truthfully I was obsessed with Friends when I was young.

Krombopulos Michael

Red Dwarf - Classic series with really funny moments. Rimmer was fantastic character and couldnt be replicated when they tried to do a US version.

Mam of 4

Friends !

How could anyone ever forget Janices laugh...

I like friends but red dwarf was brilliant.

I could watch red dwarf again and again but friends overdone with reruns.

Red dwarf

Kolido

Red dwarf is not my kinda show.

Friends I could sit and watch anytime.

Friends

Remouad

Red dwarf
Rimmer: "Red alert"
Kryton: "Sir are you absolutely sure? it means changing the bulb."

quickbeam

Red Dwarf Seasons 1-6 were brilliant but later series just ruined it. Overall Friends is better throughout its full run, so I'm going with that, reluctantly.

Electric Nitwit

This is close!

Necro

5-5. Interesting.


Gotta cast for Friends myself here, Red Dwarf wasn't my thing whereas Friends I still rewatch on occasion.

Seasons 1-4 some of the best sitcom comedy still around.

banie01

Aargh can I half my vote?
I finally see the actual benefit of our PR voting system :pac:

The 1st few seasons of red dwarf are brilliant!
Very British, but very funny.
Friends was a huge cultural phenom of my youth but Red Dwarf

I vote for red dwarf

Necro

6-5 to Red Dwarf, this is the sort of match we came to see

It’s 6-6???

snowgal

Has to be Friends! Definitely in my top 8 watched tv programmes! Even though Ive seen every episode 234 times, I will STILL sit down and watch one if it comes on!!!

snowgal

pivot, pivottttt, pivottttttt, pivvvvootttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!

Remouad

That was very close.
Should we add a 2 point margin rule?

phewww, that was f*ckin close! And weve just started............

Abstaining. Never watched prison break

Toto Wolfcastle

Will and Grace. Karen is one of the best characters in comedy.

Electric Nitwit

Have to abstein as I've never seen Prison Break

I have seen Will and Grace, so I almost voted for Prison Break but I'll play nice

Krombopulos Michael

also abstaining as I dislike both.
