D Angelo Barksdale Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Following on from last year's 100 Top Films poll, this year it's the turn of the small screen. There's not been a poll for over 10 years, since the now departed poster known as DomDom ran a Top 50 in 2012. Unfortunately, the full results of that one have been lost to the wasteland, but thanks to forum stalwart @JustOneCornetto. I've managed to secure the top 10 and selected others. Spoiler 1 The Simpsons 2 The Sopranos 3 The Wire 4 Game of Thrones 5 Breaking Bad 6 Lost 7 Father Ted 8 The Thick Of It 9 The West Wing 10 24 14 Only Fools and Horses, 18 Still Game, 29 Fawlty Towers, 33 Twin Peaks, 34, The Office (UK), 48 Boys from the Blackstuff, 50 Star Trek (original series) Last year's Film poll ( here ) received nearly 400 different selections and while there was little in the way of surprises in the Top 10, there was a great mix throughout, so hopefully we'll get something similar here. I'll leave it as open as possible, the only stipulation is that it is a recognised 'series' of multiple episodes. No one off shows or straight to TV films please. Reality TV, soaps, quiz shows, cookery programmes, Match of the Day etc. are all fine if that's what floats your boat. You might not think The Beechgrove Garden is one of the most culturally important pieces of broadcasting, but if you have fond memories of watching it with your dearly departed grandad, feel free to stick it in. So, give me your Top 10 Greatest TV Shows of All Time please. The first selection on your list will be awarded 10 points, decreasing down to 1 point for your last selection. Voting will close at Midnight 31st December, the countdown to P&B's Greatest TV Show will start on New Year's Day and we'll see if anyone can knock the Springfield mob off their perch. Voting is obviously open to all, the more the merrier and the more accurate the list will be. Either post your picks in the thread or send me a DM. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
