we've voted and now it's time to rank them all up! i'll give you the also-rans, first, before counting the top 19 (because we had a tie for twentieth place) down with a bit of a summary of the show and all that jazz. get excited for a countdown!!

@PEWS, or for that matter anyone else who's not as technologically inept as i am: how do i whack excel table data in to a post in a way that maintains columns of the table

There's no way Countdown is the best TV show of all time ffs. Meldrum was a terrible presenter.

“not seen” and “i used to like it before watching it without a laugh track and realised they were bullying sheldon for being on the autism spectrum and that’s kinda problematic in this day and age” ftr

Surprised at how few mentioned the shield apart from me. Do people not think it holds up? I've not gone back and rewatched it in ages so idk.

Tried watching it so many years ago. Couldn't get to the end of season one even. Boring af iirc.

Watched about 3 eps of it and wasn't overwhelmed. Probably should give it another chance but meh.

Pretty sure it's A Very Peculiar Practice, also pretty sure no-one has checked it out, despite my evangelical love of it on CW. Mind you my first three choices no-one else voted for, plus a few more alone ones, how hipster am I? Or maybe I just have really bad taste *shrugs*.

Louie is fascinating, would have been on my list two years ago, and I get you sometimes have to seperate the artist from the person, but in the end the person is who he is selling in Louie and most of his work, there's stuff you think oh that scene or bit is for exaggerated effect, and Adlon and Silverman like him so it's okay, but now how do you watch it knowing he's clearly a total exploitative perv.

Band of Brothers garnering points in only 2 lists is the stunner for me.

Maybe its my teenage/early 20s nostalgia but it was an incredible series that I expected to be top 30 at least.

I actually left all of the short series out for some reason. Chernobyl, Watchmen, BoB, all would've made the list I think otherwise.
