Sooo many people have recommended The Expanse to me. I started the book and gave up about a third of the way through. Then everyone recommended the show to me. I tried but realized "This is just like that book I didn't like". I really should like it but I just didn't. I don't know why.
Well a lot of them could be the same shows.
Spot on YouTube comment: A show about an old man who cut up dead bodies for a living and got all the women.

Love it!
Well, as is the same with all these super old sitcoms and such, many of which are super low production quality and it blows my mind that someone would watch today over the wealth of better options...how old were you when you watched it? I was 14-20 when it aired and just loved it. Then the advent of streaming, college, it became the go to background show...now it's a great nostalgic, entertaining, turn my brain off and enjoy watch.
HAHA
, but I gotta assume these are still to show:
I was 18 days old when this premiered.
HAHA
It's easier for some, but also if you know how many of your shows haven't come up yet that are ranked, you're kind of only saying "I kind of assume basically everyone ranked this, and many highly, so maybe it's 12th, but I may as well guess top 10" LOL.
I don't have many left, as one ranker who provided some diversity to this old crowd
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Better Call Saul
The Sopranos
The Office (U.S.)
The Wire
Then add in the interesting thing that you can knock out a chunk of my list as the "Saturday morning cartoons" and such - Looney Tunes was never even on the radar, it was all Pokemon. If you did this exercise with all people born in the 90s instead of the 60s and 70s, the list in many places looks super different - which i get is obvious (or should be).
I'm most intrigued by my #16 show, which unless I totally missed it, didn't even make the top 300, which seems SUPER up the alley of a number of folks on this forum. And I think was quite well done. But I'd be fairly surprised to see it show up in any of these super high spots. I will be giving it a hearty rec if it does indeed not make the list.
Lucifer, if you wondered
Yes that second one is obviously coming I just think it's the absolute worst show at this point in the list and can't really fathom how it is gonna end up as high as it will. It just isnt good. It's more appropriate for five minute YT clips.HAHA

Yeah I mean at some point it's just different strokes. Your FBG persona certainly reads as far more intentionally intellectual than I am. I had to bow out of the book thread because of the last 500 books I've read, i bet 400+ are some form of high fantasy in a series format. LOL.
I hope you know that's not meant in a judge-y way, just a purely factual one
Whose reality?
When I saw the first season (in real time), I was like, "I wish I could have written this, it's exactly my kind of humor and no one else has done it like this." Those first few seasons were hilarious and pushed the boundaries of comedy like little else before or since. After 5 or 6 years it started to run out of steam and I gave up after the "Oprah's minge" episode.14 - South Park

There are different kinds of intelligence. Apparently knowing a bunch of diverse stuff and understanding how to wager are different kinds.15 - Jeopardy!

I can forgive poor DD wagering because they don't have much time to figure it out. But they get 15 minutes to figure out their FJ wager, and scratch paper if they need to do the math that way. There's no excuse for the nonsensical FJ wagers that we see.15 - Jeopardy!

Yeah it's kinda a known thing at this point. Memorization nerds aren't always algebra nerds. There are several different "solved" scenarios but remembering which one to apply and then getting the math right in the time allotted while under the lights and in front of the cameras can be a stumbling block.
absolutely
Aren't there supposed to be like 7 types? I remember there being some sort of game show where they had sections with people of different types of intelligence.
Maybe we can't be friends with this take. I thought we were on the same page in likes but this take supercedes any similarities we may have had previously.
Sometimes it is good to have friends with different view points and taste.
If I were to do the list today, it would not be this high for me. I was disappointed with this season, but some people thought it was good, so still worth a watch for you I think.Just started this with my wife because of this countdown. So far we're really liking it10. Yellow Jackets (258)
I added this to my list due to the countdown, too.
I can imagine some of the large cocktail party scenes could go off the rails fast. I first saw it when I was about 8 or 9 and it was incredible.
Wait a second. I thought in today's world we are only supposed to frequent sites that mimic exactly what we think and only hang out with people that are 100% like minded. I thought gentlemanly disagreements and thoughtful discussion of differing opinions was no longer allowed in today's society. I might have to rethink things if you are allowed to have friends with different view points. You have given me something to think about......hmmmmmm
