CW Names the Top TV Show of All Time

[Shady Slim]

given we have stephen's fast bowler countdown winding to a close, and that i'm quite a fan of these countdowns, and that i really should contribute something to this forum other than dire shitposting and my politics, i figured why not buck up and do one of these myself? was naming my top 25 shows elsewhere and i figured why not bring a similar concept to here hey?

so here's what i need from you guys; a fifteen to one numbered list in descending order of your top fifteen favourite television shows of any genre; when we get enough (i have my final exams from the 8th to the 16th so sometime after then tbh) i'll tally up the results (fifteen points for a number one, fourteen points for a number two...) and do a big ol' countdown for the forum! exciting!

 

[Shady Slim]

my list to kick the exercise off

1. Twin Peaks
2. Fargo
3. Seinfeld
4. JJBA
5. The Blacklist
6. Jeopardy
7. Arrested Development
8. Peep Show
9. The Chase
10. The Simpsons
11. Frasier
12. King of the Hill
13. NCIS
14. Masterchef Australia
15. QI

I'll vote in mid division, so there's no time to ridicule my choice of BTVS as number 1.

I can't live with Daemon thinking I have bad taste any more, IMHO, it's causing me a downward spiral of shame....
