We can play the Film Fandango game with it if you like: how high up the list can you go before you hit something you've never seen? For me it's SIX, something called Cosmos I've never heard of :-(

[Chest Rockwell]

Starting from either end, my answer is the same; zero. 

[Merzbow]

How many times is Dragon Ball in there?

[HarmonicGenerator]

I was thinking that too!

 

Good result for Attenborough, though.

[Onyx2]

How many times is Dragon Ball in there?

It's almost as if the list was constructed by males in their late teens. Oh wait...

[gbacon85]

Starting from either end, my answer is the same; zero.

You've seen EVERYTHING on that list?

 

Ignore me, it's early, misread it. Well I haven't seen Breaking Bad, so that's ME done straight away.

[Sergio Mendacious]

Never heard of Rick and Morty.

[Chest Rockwell]

I've heard good things about it. It's the show Dan harmon went off to do when he got canned off Community. Its premise is that explores the relationship between doc and Marty from back to the future in some detail, I think..?

[Zebra Kid Mark]

Bloodline on Netflix.  I'm 5 episodes into it and I'm still not sure if I like it.  

Stick with it, it picks up pace from episode 8 onwards.

Eh true but I'm not complaining, I'm one of those sad gits that still watches it every week. Funny seeing Berzerk on there too, started watching that recently and it's pretty good with an amazing soundtrack.

[Mr_Danger]

How come Dragon Ball Z has such a massive 'older' following? I've never seen it but I gather it's not a 'wink wink nudge nudge look at this adults' kind of kids show?

 

It's the same with Power Rangers but I've actually seen that and still can't gather the obsession adult males have with it. It's poorly acted, clearly aimed at kids and only kids and the story lines were always hokey as fuck so it doesn't have that animated Spider-Man thing going for it that makes it stand out a bit.

[PowerButchi]

Because some people are incredibly sad. Almost scarily so.

[Merzbow]

I grew up with it like I guess most of us older fans did, it was all over Cartoon Network during my teenage days. But yes, it does have a "look (immature) adults" vibe to it, it's graphically violent and there people dying left right and center and can be down right perverted at times, one of the first ever episodes of Dragon Ball has a child Goku touching Bulmas cunt because she doesn't have a dick like he does. I'd also say that it's the closest thing to wrestling in cartoon form.

 

I really don't get the power rangers love, now that is absolute shit.

 

Butch, never run into a Brony. You'll probably self harm after seeing just how sad they get, I like some dumb shit but they are scary as fuck.

The wrestling thing makes sense as I know many a wrestling aficionado who bums the Z.
