Greatest TV Shows of All Time: FBG Consensus: It's Happening, 30 lists received so far. (3 Viewers)

Still too early to tell, but as of now, it's starting to look more like a top 100 instead of 200.

If we do 200, the first 120ish shows would all be on only one person's list. If you guys want to keep it at 200 to spotlight these one off shows, fine. If not, we can trim it down to 100.

I will say, in looking at the top 200, there are some really good shows in the later part of it, so it's not like there's a lot of crap making up the list. It's just differences in taste.

This is with 7 lists in so far. Expecting a bunch more so this might very well change.

200 please
 
Submitted my list. Can't think about it too much. Now, I'm just waiting to find the big one I completely forgot about that should be on there.

Instead of Miss Congeniality, I'm shooting for Mr. Unsophisticated with my offerings.
 
now I just wait for some favorite I forgot to pop into me head.
I have had three or four come to mind after I submitted my list. I know I could send in a revision but the way I see it is if I didn't think of them initially they probably aren't in the top 70. I mean it's splitting hairs anyway as I think my list started at around 100 so I had to narrow down as it was. Tomorrow I could probably swap out 15 that didn't make it for 15 that did because I was in a different mood.
 
I will admit that there’s a lot of recency bias in my rankings, but a lot of that is because the quality of tv has increased exponentially over the years

I feel like this is so true. It's gotten to the point where I can't even watch regular network shows anymore because the quality all seems to be streaming now.
 
After a few hours, I'm already at 70 shows. However, I'll take the weekend to think about what I've left off so far. By Monday, I'll probably be at 100+, at which time I'll whittle down and put into a formal order
 
I have mine listed like this

I MASH
II Cheers
III Sopranos
IV Mad Men
V Game of Thrones

Is that bad?

PS - not my actual top 5
 
Y'all may end up surprised at the remarkable amount of competition shows on my list. Basically anything where you start with a bunch of people and cut one every week until a finale is on the initial pre-whittle, pre-ranked idea list.
 
I don't want to spotlight, but there is a whole genre of shows that no one is talking about, and the best of them is in my top 10. I hope others agree so it makes the countdown!
I think you can at least share the genre.
Let’s all guess the genre instead.

Game shows? Talk shows? Porn? Anime?
It’s a game show about anime porn.


The Gator nailed it. Home improvement.
I don’t think so Tim
 
Ehh, dont overthink this.
This. If there is a show you want to put it on your list, whether you haven't finished watching it, or whether the show is still in production, or whether it is technically a series of short movies, or whatever. Just put the damn show on your list and stand your ground friends.
Yeah, maybe I've only watched the first season of a show so far... but that's how much we've all seen of Watchmen, Chernobyl, Penguin, Band of Brothers, Andor, etc.

A common theme for those on my list where I don't expect anyone else to have included is that they had short runs either by design or early cancellations. Only a few on the list had rough starts and then found their groove. For a few the beginning or the end (or in one case the middle) were so good that I can look past the problematic periods.
