Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 16, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2013 I wasn't planning on a shitlist but if people want to send them to me and I get enough I will include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 SOC's point about Spoiler City is a good one. I mean, Breaking Bad is bound to feature, and that hasn't finished yet. No doubt people are catching up with it but if this thread is at "UK pace" for instance, can it even feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 16, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2013 It worked okay in the movie thread. If it's a spoiler then people can mark it as such. I will not put any spoilers in my write ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted July 16, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2013 Make it spoiler free please. This thread will help to educate everyone about some fantastic shows that they might not have thought to watch before. I'll certainly be keen to see how it plays out, with a view to getting some good recommendations for stuff to get stuck into. That will all be ruined if all the best TV dramas of all time get spoiled in one thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Indeed, but those movies had ended, so you couldn't watch half of one, then kick off about spoilers before you'd seen the second half. Â Not trying to piss on your chips, I think this will be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 16, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2013 Ok cool, I want to make this as fun for everyone as possible so let's keep it spoiler free. I've updated the rules on the first page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 16, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2013 Not been this exited about a listing since Astro did his AWESOME list a few years a go on his blog (Carnivale was included so it was automatically great). Do you have a link to that list at all Sickboy? Not read it since it was posted initially, 'twas a great read. Â Top 10 TV Shows of the Decade: Here's the #1, with all the rest linked at the top. Â Interesting how I look at that in hindsight (as well as thinking "Man, did I get better"). Although that does cover a specific decade (and not just drama), there's a bunch of shows that either hadn't aired at the time, or that I just hadn't seen yet, that would stroll their way right to the top half of a list now. At the time I posted that, everyone was all "Where's Deadwood?!" which I hadn't seen, but that pushed me into getting the box set, and it seems crazy that TUF made my also-rans, and even Peep Show seems an odd choice now we're in this magical time of TV's Golden Age. Â And in retrospect on the Lost thing (even though I'm sure I'll cover this in my entry), still love it, but I accept that's more on a level of being thrilled and mystified and excited the fuck out, week after week, than the last season being on a par with the true greats of television once its secrets were spilled. Garbage like Under the Dome makes you appreciate just how great -- and difficult to pull off -- a sustained mystery serial like Lost really was. Â Fuck me, my entry's going to be a million words, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'll ask the question everbody else wants to ask, do Moving Wallpaper and Echo Beach count as one show or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted July 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2013 Made my list, some old fart shows in mine. Never had the chance as of yet to see many new dramas.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted July 17, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2013 Please remember to include your usernames with your lists people. And a few so far haven't sent me a full 10, obviously you don't have to send me a full 10 but it will make the list better if you do.

Whilst I never would have had it higher than something like The Wire, I think you sum up why it was such a fun show for so long.

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted July 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2013 So what was the deal with Lost? <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler Were they dead all along or what, or was everything on the island legit and the Flash Sideways gig was when they were dead/in limbo?
