rubbafish Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This things are always a testament to pat's poor taste. Any money he had Knots Landing as well.   Sorry to disappoint, but I didnt include Highway or Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman either   I'm gutted to have remembered a few things whilst it's been counting down, that would have probably made my list, but no one would have voted for anyway.  Anzacs- Fantastic mini series about the Anzacs in World War One, starring Paul Hogan amongst others. Here's a taster from Episode 3 Well worth seeking out. Most, if not all is on youtube.  The Heroes- Another Aussie Mini series about Operation Jaywick to destroy Japanese boats in Singapore Harbour. It's in bits and pieces but is all on youtube. Here's Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFjTxbS_Jc  The Heroes II- Following on from the success of Jaywick, Operation Rimau was attempted. This mini series differs slightly from the first because of what happen's to the crew and why. It's also on youtube from the same account as above.  Due South- Diefenbaker! Ray! Leslie Nielsen! Great writing, loved it to bits. Here's a horse chasing a car!  Wrong on one of those. Made my top 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patiirc Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Well, why would you include a religious magazine programme helmed by Harry Secombe in a top 50 dramas? Â Never actually knew it was called Highway to Heaven . Â I take it he voted for "Little House" too then. Â Lost in Space was better on Channel 4 on a Sunday. No, I didnt vote for "Little House" either. You guys got some kind of betting thing going? Who's up or down the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted August 14, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) 37)  "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose"   Friday Night Lights  Voted number one? No.  What's it about?  From the director of Welcome to The Jungle starring The Rock and Stifler, comes this sports drama based on a high school football team in Texas. The show has never received high ratings but has managed to stay alive based on critical acclaim. Lead actor Kyle Chandler won a Emmy for his performance in 2011. This is the second appearance on this list for Connie Britton, who received Emmy nominations for her work in this show and also American Horror Story. Though I will always remember her as Nikki from Spin City.  What do you say?  "A real gem. Don't let the fact it's classed as a teen show put you off. 5 seasons of quality tele with 1 or 2 stupid storylines. The strongest part of this is the characters without doubt. The pilot is great so well worth take a go on it."  "Real people, real problems, real drama. Things don't seem overly exaggerated in this show. It takes simple real life issues that most of us will have experienced in some form and makes a properly compelling drama out of them."  Clips!  Matt Saracen in "The Son" Edited August 16, 2013 by LaGoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted August 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've only ever heard great things about Friday Night Lights. It's one of the ones I've been intending to watch for ages, having it series linked for the longest time...and there's some still on there but i'm certain loads have been deleted because my planner is full with other stuff in a similar position. I'd hoped to marathon a load one day but i'm blatantly going to have to box-set it now. Didn't realise there's five fucking seasons I've got to work through. I've been contemplating abandoning a social life in the winter months to get some money put away for a project. I might have to spend my weekend evenings watching a whole shitload of box-sets.

Paid Members Fox Piss Posted August 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) I had this at number 4. Â What a show. It got put on ITV4 for some wild reason back in 2007 but it finally got a it's rightful exposure on Sky Atlantic last year. Character and setting wise it's just top quality. It's mainly about teen life in a small Texas town and battling with what's to come for them in the future but just done in such a charming way not without it's gritty moments though. Â Do not be put off by the fact it's labeled a teen or sports show. A top quality drama lives in DILLON,TEXAS YALL!

King Pitcos Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I've always heard good things but... Does anyone on here like it who doesn't understand or give a shit about American football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Monkee Posted August 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Just wondering - can we see how many votes each show got compared to how many entries were received in order to judge just how popular they are? Only 1 of mine has shown up so far so I'm wondering exactly how 'obvious' (or not) my choices were. Â Edit: I lied, 2 of my choices have come up unless you're doing AHS as 2 separate entries.

I've heard a ton of amazing praise about it from people whose opinions I really trust, but it's about college football, which I hate, so it's never going to happen. I have branched out a little from my TV Hates lately, as I used to avoid all spy stuff, but really enjoyed The Americans, but sports? No. It took me forever to get around to the Wire because I hate cop shows, but I was pleased to be wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Monkee Posted August 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 14, 2013 I voted for AHS too. Â I knew you would, in which case I love you. But I also know you voted for Lost so I equally hate you. Â As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
