I still watch “This Old House” any chance I get though it really misses Norm. I’ve picked up so many tricks and tips that I’ve applied two my own crappy houses. Love that show.

I'm sure a lot of the unfamiliar titles are great but the names are just random words to me. On some of them, it took me two attempts to parse the show and FBG username correctly.
But these I understand enough to be officially intrigued

Yes - that’s what I had it as. And way up on my list for that matter.

Is that the show with Rob Delaney?

I had it due to volume and I’ve always enjoyed Wilbon and Kornheiser and their friendship. Also, back in the day was a good recap on the top sports stories. I still catch it occasionally.

The Chef Show is awesome. I rarely rewatch cooking things but I love it. It's premise is from the movie Chef that was starring Favreau, and Roy Choi, who became friends at some point during Choi helping as the chef person on the movie set to mentor Favreau.
They're funny and they teach a lot and they have amazing guests and it was just really good. I wish they'd do a 5th or more volumes.

@Gally 's Criminal Minds is the only one of the "highest ranked on only one list" list that I had on my initial brainstorm of around 100.
I will say my 12th ranked being highest surprised me. I thought at least one of my top three might have been a solo entry.
Other shows that narrowly missed for me were basically a ton of procedurals and legal procedural-adjacent shows.

I did like that PTI-Around the Horn time slot.

O.k., I'm confused.
I had Mr. Show With Bob And David as my #32, and I see that Mr. Show - Pip's Invitation didn't make the top 300, I assume that's the same show. Yet my first non-top 300 show is given as my #36 BSG (1978).
Is there some other Mr. Show that Pip's Invitation is listing? Or is that list avoiding duplicates?
This is not a big deal, just mildly curious. Also it seems like others of mine above my #32 wouldn't have made the top 300 (particularly my 14,15,16, 18, 19, 22, 26), but I'll be prepared to be surprised.

Yeah, I was counting Son of and current Svengoolie as one show.
I think I've missed 3 Saturday nights in 8 years, and that was due to travel.

Even though I had the O.C. ranked higher, I'm more bummed Gravity Falls didn't make it. I had it in the 40s I think. Great show.

As if anyone cares:
8 Orphan Black Bottomfeeder Sports (obviously)
10 Yellowjackets steelerfan1 (#58 on my list)
16 Emergency Todem (#52 on my list) One gripe "... A fire station just isn't a fire station without a pole."
Considered:
4 The Mole Shaft41 (I assumed that the ABC series, the Netflix series, and the Celebrity season were all one and the celebrity seasons knocked this off)
48 The Haunting of Hill House The Gator
36 Battlestar Galactica (1978) gr00vus (So tempted!)

Dan Lambskin

It’s my #17 but I listed it as Mr Show with Bob and David (no period) so I think there must be some sort of scoring oversight

Gravity Falls is solid, didn’t make my cut but was in consideration
Scoresman

I received a few titled Mr Show with Bob and David and I think one or two just Mr Show.
Are these two shows the same? I struggled with this with shows I’ve never watched. It’s an easy fix though.
Dan Lambskin
Footballguy
Yeah same show nobody refers to it by its full name In general conversation

Shoot, forgot about The OC. It should have made my list somewhere.

Mildred Pierce is an excellent HBO adaptation of the novel done by Todd Haynes. Starred Kate Winslet, Guy Pearce and Evan Rachel Wood. Highly recommend. It is a very faithful adaptation. I am not sure if you have read the book but the Joan Crawford movie takes some pretty big liberties with the novel to make it into more of a noir mystery than the book. Despite being written by James Cain, Mildred Pierce isn't a hard boiled crime story at all.

Oh man, double heart break.
Dammit, I fixed this in the post above. Yours is Gravity Falls
I said there would be mistakes...
You all suck at watching TV shows!!
I didn't see the switch to Gravity Falls off the original one you posted in here. Anybody with kids in that age range, please give it a try. Not that kids are required, I woke up on Saturday am with the house to myself and watched a few episodes by myself and laughed my butt off. One of the two shows my wife and I probably liked more than the kids.

No love for Apple TV’s The Morning Show? So well done.
BLOCKED_PUNT
Footballguy
I don't have apple tv and I'm not ready to burn my free trial yet. I think a lot of these lists might be heavily dependent on what services you have and/or the availability of a show. Like Friends etc. were network shows that we all watched.
Scoresman
Footballguy
Yeah this is the challenge with these. Same thing with a show like Parks and recreation. Everyone including the networks call it parks and rec and if half the entries come in as one and the other half the other, I have to catch all of these.
Like I said there will be mistakes and if anyone sees anything off please tell me. It’s hard to catch all of them but it’s easy to correct. The corrected top 300 will be maintained in the OP.

This is what I put it as, but, I know it was also released for a time as "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show", so I parenthetically added "the looney tunes syndicated anthology".
It's the old cartoons but every three/four years they re-packaged them under a different title to resell them.

I was a huge fan of S1, and was probably one of the best things I've watched in a couple years. For whatever reason haven't gotten to S2. That will be changed soon. I promise, @Raging weasel
It was on my list, but I bumped it down because of that.

Had Good Times, The Walking Dead, What’s Happening, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, The Three Stooges, Our Gang/Little Rascals, Leave it to Beaver, S.W.A.T, Chips and the original Battlestar Galactica on my list but just outside the top 70.
This was crazy hard

"This Old House" didn't make my cut, it was #73. Sorry, @Nick Vermeil
"The Haunting of Hill House" I had at #62, but I fear not enough of us have seen it, @The Gator
And you're all sleeping on "Australian Survivor", which I have ranked well ahead of the US version and as my #1 competitive reality show. It's a better show. It's bigger, the stakes are higher, the gameplay is better, the casting is amazing, the players are more into it, and it's accessible to the US audience since it's often filmed at the same locations using the same tribe colors, dynamics, music, graphics, etc.
I bet a lot of lists had the US version, and I recommend you all check out the Australian one on Facebook or wherever you can find it. Start with season 5 from 2018, the first "Champions Vs. Contenders" season, watch from there, and you'll immediately see what a better show it is and hopefully get hooked. It's a shame the better version of a show that will probably rank pretty high isn't better known.

Given that half of everything is trying to kill you in Australia, I agree with you that the stakes are higher

I got a few looney tunes (toons) and a few bugs bunny shows submitted. If these are the same, please let me know. I only remember watching looney toons as a kid.
BLOCKED_PUNT

I think the bugs bunny show is the OG and the same cartoons were repackaged under other names later on. I assume everyone meant the same thing though.
