Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm backing Oz for #1 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Top six will have The Wire, The Shield, Oz, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad in it. Struggling for a sixth, possibly Battlestar Galactica. Never seen it but The Shield will be in the running to win I reckon. Â Deadwood is amazing, top 5 from me. I always say if I somehow became a mega lottery winner I'd give the makers the cash to finish the project off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted August 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm just hoping Breaking Bad doesn't win. I mean it's really fucking good, but not on the level people seem to have it in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Top six will have The Wire, The Shield, Oz, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad in it. Struggling for a sixth, possibly Battlestar Galactica. Game of Thrones. Â Is there a full list of "honourable mentions"? I don't want to have to trawl through the whole thread to look. I'm surprised not to see Six Feet Under get a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 27, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 27, 2013 I reckon either Sopranos or the Wire will get the top spot. Yep I reckon so, with GoT and Breaking Bad as outside bets, seeing as they're the big two 'current' shows people love. I've voted for three of the top six, the other three I've never seen- so I have plenty of good TV to catch up on. This list thread is very handy for that sort of thing.

Loki Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I hope Game Of Thrones isn't in the top 10. I think it's aces, but I also think it's not nearly as revolutionary as people make out, either as episodical television or as fantasy. The books are good, but no more than that either. What I do give it credit for, is somehow getting people who wouldn't normally touch fantasy with a bargepole, to tune in. I'm guessing the tits help.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 27, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted August 27, 2013 I hope Game Of Thrones isn't in the top 10. Well, we're at #7 and it hasn't come out yet...it's definitely in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted August 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2013 Definitely no True Blood, then  I almost had it in my Top 10, but something knocked it down to #11. I think people confuse it for the Vampire Romance genre, when it's completely balls out fucking insane and brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah... I forget how awesome it had been at times as I've not bothered to watch the most recent season but it really has had some brilliant moments and characters. Jason, Eric, Russell, Steve Newland, Jessica and Pam are all great. (especially Russell. And Jason). Â That said Tara is relentlessly irritating, they chumped out Lafayette when he started so well, and Bill is insufferable so much of the time (though I have hopes for him in the season I haven't watched yet due to what happened at the end of the previous one). Sam is a bit of a twat and all. Â On balalce though, I think it should have had a place on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 True Blood is good fun. Not anywhere near my own top ten but certainly much better than some of the rubbish we had earlier in thread. There are just too many shows about vampires these days though. Â I have purchased Carnivale and Sparticus seasons 1 today as a direct result of this list.

Loki Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 True Blood just has a continuous downhill slide in quality. I managed through to about 1/2 way through Season 4, but it's just fucking terrible now so I've deleted it. Once you had faeries and witches, it had jumped the shark.
