Talking of shots at the belt, anyone nominated Late Night Raw?

I nearly went for Coupling, its my personal favourite. Again, it tapered off a little but the first two series were close to perfect

Was that the one with the spectre of performance anxiety The Melty Man - "you will be nervous, and you will be mine!"

Line of Duty
The fall and rise of Reginald Perrin
Taxi
Cheers
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek DS9
Fawlty Towers
Simpsons (seasons 1-9!)

How the Fcuk did I forget Line of Duty!

Can I have an extra nomination to add today's events in the UK Supreme Court/Parliament as the best ever TV show?

Tauriel · 24-09-2019 1:00pm

This is another toughie, I watch so many good shows and I feel bad for leaving out some older classics but I went with:

SEAL Team
The Unit
Killing Eve
Chernobyl
Hot Zone

I could of easily added Ice Road Truckers, 'Allo 'Allo, Are Yo Being Served?, and many many more

Here are my entries

The wire
Sopranos
Peep Show
Always Sunny
Reeling in the years(I know it’s an odd on but if it’s on I never don’t watch it. I can’t think of many other shows like that)

Yeah coupled with TV3's Don't Look Back in Anger,

Having said that I hope someone nominates World at War

Peppa is a complete brat and utter b1tch.

Niska · 24-09-2019 4:43pm

Limiting it to 5 can be stressful...

1 per decade?
1 comedy, 1 drama etc?

Ahhhhhh

Necro · 24-09-2019 5:09pm

Right folks

tenor.gif?itemid=13286953

Due to the overwhelming interest in this contest we've amassed over 100 different entries in just a little over a day. Thank you for that, btw. Did not expect this to be so big, if the sign up thread is anything to go by - the reveal thread will be epic

Therefore, with regret I have to close sign ups tomorrow morning at 8am.

So those of you still on the fence about entering now have a deadline to work with.

Game will start in about a week, after I finish weeping into my pillow about the thoughts of compiling this mass of awesomeness... or not, that's up to you folks to decide.

Way too much work involved in this with all the variety and could've easily split TV into five categories and just chose one for now. I do not envy Necro:p but fair play.

Entered my obvious and unimaginative submissions there.

I actually loved the final season, it was Season 2 that I thought left the show down and was glad that they managed to recover in Season 3.

AndrewJRenko · 24-09-2019 10:19pm

How far are we going back?

Hill St Blues
The Sweeney

Necro · 24-09-2019 10:20pm

Whatever you want to nominate, you get 5 choices, wrap em up in a lil old PM and send em to me

In fairness, Married With Children is a legitimate contender, probably not to win, but definitely one that could do well.

Not many late 80s early 90s American comedy stands up but married with children is still funny!

Necro · 24-09-2019 11:51pm

And in some late night news, target has been reached so unfortunately...

I'll update folks with when the first round will start in a few days, once I've sorted through the mass of posts.

Reveal thread will go up at the weekend anyways, though the game proper will likely start on Wednesday next. Some midweek fun and frolics when I can properly romp through the opening rounds

25-09-2019 9:43am

Mam, spook, and anyone else, I’ll vote for yours if you vote for mine

secondrowgal · 25-09-2019 10:04am

I can't believe that I missed this! Booo!!

Most of mine are already named above:

The Wire
The West Wing
The Sopranos
Chernobyl
Taxi
Hill Street Blues
and many more..

I can't believe these aren't named but I have faith! Surely someone will have PM these in..

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - classic TV. The writing is smart and sharp. Even rewatching, you can see nods to later plots and characters in very early episodes. And changed the whole goody/baddy dynamic and (even though this might be unforgivable!!) spawned a new genre in vampire/other monster tv and films.

Dallas - the original. As soap operas go, this opened up the whole genre.

Newsroom - too short but maybe they did the right thing. It was tough staying up to date with what was happening, but it was a more serious and politically heavy West Wing.

Only Fools and Horses???? Come on people!!

The Young Ones - launched how many careers?

I have to get back to work but I am on tenterhooks waiting for the voting!!!

Norman the little pyromaniac who is part of a shadowy conspiracy to siphon all the public money in ponty pandy into emergency response coffers? Hate him, and so do my kids. We were in wales, passing Pont y Pandy near Porthmadog and we saw this adult with curly red hair, glasses and believe it or not a jerry-can. The kids lost their ****. It was brilliant.

Anyway I hope someone out there remembered a time when TV programs were safe, stale, uninspiring, but one man saw a way to change things, a way to do the same thing but in a different way, to re-energise the format of procedural drama, to tackle difficult topics in a palatable way, to create watercooler moments that would set a whole country talking.

The greatest show you never saw.

Cop Rock

Be careful out there....

Thank this post if you want to see the full list.

I’m just here for the thanks.

However here's something to keep you all going until the game begins

Mam of 4 · 25-09-2019 3:03pm

I know when the Reveal is posted , I'll be sitting here reading it , muttering oh ffs , how did I forget that one ? Like a broken record stuck in the groove .
