    Deserves a shot at the belt for the theme tune alone ;)

    Talking of shots at the belt, anyone nominated Late Night Raw? ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,485 ✭✭✭✭Banjo


    I nearly went for Coupling, its my personal favourite. Again, it tapered off a little but the first two series were close to perfect

    Was that the one with the spectre of performance anxiety The Melty Man - "you will be nervous, and you will be mine!"

    Some other shows I really enjoyed that I might have included on another day,

    Line of Duty
    The fall and rise of Reginald Perrin
    Taxi
    Cheers
    Star Trek TNG
    Star Trek DS9
    Fawlty Towers
    Simpsons (seasons 1-9!)

    How the Fcuk did I forget Line of Duty!

    This is another toughie, I watch so many good shows and I feel bad for leaving out some older classics but I went with:

    SEAL Team
    The Unit
    Killing Eve
    Chernobyl
    Hot Zone

    I could of easily added Ice Road Truckers, 'Allo 'Allo, Are Yo Being Served?, and many many more

    Have you got a problem with Peppa? I'm also partial to a bit of Barney

    Here are my entries

    The wire
    Sopranos
    Peep Show
    Always Sunny
    Reeling in the years(I know it’s an odd on but if it’s on I never don’t watch it. I can’t think of many other shows like that)
    Yeah coupled with TV3's Don't Look Back in Anger,

    Having said that I hope someone nominates World at War

    Limiting it to 5 can be stressful...

    1 per decade?
    1 comedy, 1 drama etc?

    Ahhhhhh

    Right folks

    Due to the overwhelming interest in this contest we've amassed over 100 different entries in just a little over a day. Thank you for that, btw. Did not expect this to be so big, if the sign up thread is anything to go by - the reveal thread will be epic :D

    Therefore, with regret I have to close sign ups tomorrow morning at 8am.

    So those of you still on the fence about entering now have a deadline to work with.

    Game will start in about a week, after I finish weeping into my pillow about the thoughts of compiling this mass of awesomeness... or not, that's up to you folks to decide.

    Fair play Necro. Looking forward to it.

    Way too much work involved in this with all the variety and could've easily split TV into five categories and just chose one for now. I do not envy Necro:p but fair play.

    Entered my obvious and unimaginative submissions there.

    I actually loved the final season, it was Season 2 that I thought left the show down and was glad that they managed to recover in Season 3. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,939 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    How far are we going back?

    Hill St Blues
    The Sweeney

    In fairness, Married With Children is a legitimate contender, probably not to win, but definitely one that could do well.

    Not many late 80s early 90s American comedy stands up but married with children is still funny!

    And in some late night news, target has been reached so unfortunately...

    I'll update folks with when the first round will start in a few days, once I've sorted through the mass of posts.

    Reveal thread will go up at the weekend anyways, though the game proper will likely start on Wednesday next. Some midweek fun and frolics when I can properly romp through the opening rounds :D
