This sums up my feelings as well.

We definitely shouldn’t reveal to people IRL that our fantasy football message board top television show countdown had Saved By the Bell ranked higher than St. Elsewhere.
Similar to St Elmo’s Fire over Ghostbusters. Except I can’t blame tim

This genre of PBSy Britishy shows is my wife's wheelhouse. She will watch pretty much anything with period costumes, accents and houses with doors taller than Robert Wadlow. I've never gotten into them, so I didn't watch too much of Downton Abbey. But I started watching more in the later seasons and then I think I've seen the couple of movies that they've made subsequently. I didn't rank it but I can appreciate the quality and work that goes into shows like this, very similarly to Saved By the Bell.

In hindsight, this should have probably made my Top 100, at least, even though it's objectively terrible in every possible way.

Never watched Homeland, heard it got real bad real quick.
It got really really bad with dumb plot line but they turned it around and bounced back.

I've never watched St Elswhere, but watched probably 100 episodes of Saved By The Bell.

ETA: Mozart is better than Huey Lewis and the News, but which one do you think most of us have enjoyed more in our lifetimes?
Exactly. I can't rank what I have never seen. Any show that I have seen all the episodes for mulitple times I figured should be in my top 30 somewhere even if I can admit now how terrible they are.

I believe the first 2 seasons and the Christmas special are some of the best TV ever made. After that it got kind of silly and fell into a predictable spot. Not bad just bland. You should consider going back from the beginning when it was great.

I meant Homeland obviously lol. SBTB was pretty much all stupid plot lines. I enjoyed the show but it was awful.

Maybe it was a Very Special Episode.

None of those actors had any talent at all.
 
I've never seen Saved by the Bell, and not out of any moral objection or anything... I just didn't even know it existed while I was the age I might have watched in at. Of course I'm aware of it now and have seen clips over the years and all, but somehow I just completely missed it. My best guess is that since it was on Saturday mornings, I either slept through it or was watching college football (Alaska time zone).
 
I said it early in the thread: I listed and ranked shows that I enjoyed that have had the most impact on me. I spent some of the most formative years of my life watching multiple episodes of Saved By the Bell a day. Is it an objectively good show? No, of course not. Did I enjoy the hell out of it, not the least of which because of Tiffani-Amber Thiessen? Of course. I haven't watched an episode in 30 years yet I still feel I could do quite well in a Saved By the Bell trivia contest. That's how I ranked shows and I feel great about it.

You shouldn’t apologize to the rest of us morons!

This exercise is very subjective, with lots of nostalgia points.
 
When I was 11, Saved by the Bell was a big deal. But other than almost everyone being super hot, there’s nothing interesting about it any more.

ETA has anyone seen clips of the show where the speaking parts of the characters have been edited to be nearly X rated? Hilarious stuff! It's really filthy, and won't share a link for respect to Joe.
 
Scooby Doo is the only kid's cartoon I had on my list. I think cartoons peaked here and have gone downhill ever since.

had this as my only cartoon too, and zoinks, at the last minute put a real stretch of a cartoon in it's place. should have kept this one.
 
I think I might have over-ranked Downton Abbey a bit in the mid-30's but I can't believe how much I liked that show. You could have said "You will like a drama about British asswipes and the help as they face major crises like did the cake get burnt or was someone rude that one time" and I would have told you to leave. But here we are.

I’ll take a PM.

Bree Olson made a pretty good Daphne in another version of the show

fun fact: I'm semi-related to Zach Morris (MPG) via marriage on my wife's side of the family. and no, I still didn't have SBTB in my top million shows.
 
As far as scooby doo, I know there’s a ton of versions, but for me I just tend to consider all of the normal gang as one series, even the scrappy years

Then there’s the kids version and a more adult version (no not that kind) that I would consider separately

Scrappy is terrible though FWIW, who was the other goody grey dog? He sucked too

AHS is the first show where the temptation to rank individual seasons comes up because they differ vastly in quality.

Personally, I loved the first two seasons, and a few of the others, but some of them were bad. My ranking gives more weight to the good seasons.
Yeah agree. So inconsistent.

It crossed my mind to have on my list but the suck seasons were so bad I just couldn't do it.

Season 1 is the only good one, rest are trash. I kept getting suckered in because the first 2 or 3 episodes would be good and then they would just go completely off the rails, think I tapped out in the middle of several seasons and then finally gave up for good
I’ll basically avoid any Ryan Murphy show because he’s so bad
