It was in my list of close misses. I watched it for the first time just a few years ago, and obviously it now suffers in comparison to many shows that have come after, which it probably partially inspired/influenced. I think, had I watched it when released, I'd probably have ranked it higher. It's tough to get past the production quality of the effects, prosthetics, etc. 30 years later.
Something I find funny about that show is how little content there is. It's like 3 episodes of SNL worth of runtime. I thought it was hilarious, there just wasn't much of it.
would have probably had dope sick as well, but probably chose too many shows because of nostalgia and not what i would actually watch first today.
It catches the forbidden words when they are used by themselves but not when they are part of compound words.filter fail?

I liked NCIS: LA too but figured I would just go with one of the franchise for this. Big fan of The Rookie but not on long enough to place in the top 70. Cold Case was fine and an interesting concept but it wasn't quite up to par with some of the other ones of that type. Big fan of Castle. It's on my list.
The very concept of the show pissed off some people earlier. I enjoy watching it with my wife.
So, who's my other 10% crew who put Magnum in?
How dare you. Which season was Sons of Ireland again?
Reminds me that I also forgot Jackass.It catches the forbidden words when they are used by themselves but not when they are part of compound words.

That was season 3, and I'm not sure if I included that season as my cutoff because it was good or because I'm a sucker for Irish stuff.
Me too. It's on my list. I liked how they played the music of the year the crime happened in the cold case.
Nothing in this group is on my list, but I did watch Malcolm in the Middle pretty regularly and probably should have considered it. We all know about Bryan Cranston's dramatic chops, but this series showed he is a brilliant comedic actor as well. In fact, AMC was reluctant to let Vince Gilligan cast him for Breaking Bad because their execs thought of him as a sitcom guy.
Oh man, I love What We Do in the Shadows. Would have probably ranked it in my top 30.
I'm one of the three that has this on my list. One of my best friends was "dopesick" for 8 years. It all started when he broke his ankle delivering mail. Thankfully, he survived his oxy addiction.
If it the original, I don't know how it is not listed higher
Well, apparently if a show went over 6 seasons it was banned from certain peoples list on principle. Doesn't matter how good they were. Over 6 seasons......must be bad.
Yup, big fan
It would have to be. The spinoffs have different titles (NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, etc.) and different casts but they share the same universe. You wouldn't count Star Trek, Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as the same series. Same idea here.
I never noticed that, but one of my other older shows, I did notice the change in the opening music theme i think in season 2 or mid through season 1.
A show on my list had a different theme song in its first 2 seasons than in subsequent ones. Perhaps we are talking about the same thing.
That's not quite what I mean and it isn't a firm rule. There's a tendency for shows to get worse and worse the more they drag on, like the creators may have had an original arc in mind but the show was successful so they just keep on cranking out shows and seasons and they get progressively worse. Those types of shows often ended up getting bumped from my list. I definitely have some that lasted a while and made it to my list, though.
I find the show very funny but the premise is too thin to call it one of the greatest shows (imo).
The first of its kind. Straczynski claims to have known what would happen in season 5 while he was writing the pilot
I know what you meant. Just couldn't resist jabbing the comment....hahaha I think there are shows that definitely have an arc and a course but I think there are shows that are fine going that long. The procedurals that have basically stand alone episodes can withstand the test of time longer than one that kind of have an expiration based on the overarching story. Criminal Minds is one that comes to mind. It is still going and in general I don't think it has lost that much.
I am not embarrassed to say that I had NCIS on my list..................and I am not a 64 yr old woman named Midge. My friends call me GladysThat wasn't the case with NCIS. NCIS didn't make it to my list because I'm not a 64 year-old woman named Midge.
I submitted a last minute revision and meant to include this but it slipped my mind. Would have been low 60’s but I love it.
None of these on my list. I wanted to like Loudermilk but it just didn't grab me. I'll probably try again. Love Chopped but eventually got bored with it. I tried Party Down but never finished - I liked what I saw though. Of course I watched Tom and Jerry but Top 70, no way. Sex and the City was my ex's jam. I never really watched the rest - but young McB remembers Topanga.
If it reminds you of Tom Green, then it is completely understandable that you couldn't get into it.
I don't think so, as these were just minor changes, not complete ones.
Alright three more of mine here with Mentalist, Chopped, and Boston Legal
2 more of mine go down and it looks like only 1 other person and i liked them.
my bum is on the rail, my bum is on the rail...
