PANDEMIC MEANS NO GO OUT AND NO GO OUT MEANS ME WATCH TELEVISION AND I watched a lot of it. You did too! Let's poll it together!
Post your nominations here. Any series released anywhere in the world that includes more than three episodes that premiered in 2020 qualifies for voting. Please specify primary network/streamer that it aired on.
Acceptable nominations: YouTube/Twitch streamers with a recognizable episode-to-episode continuity whether fictional or presentational, web series, streaming series, cable series, game shows, news shows, animation, talk shows.
Unacceptable nominations: sports, concerts, one-episode documentaries or made-for-tv films, music videos.
Nominations close on January 7 and then we take two weeks to vote. I'll aim to run the results in late January/early February.I am open to discussion on how we structure ballot scoring and we can use this thread to discuss that.
What have you been watching?

The former is like a more technical (yet still entertaining) "The Secret Life of Machines".The latter is recommended if you like batshit crazy Adult Swim stuff and the Rick and Morty parody "Bushworld Adventures" (also from Michael Cusack). Lots of moments made me laugh uncontrollably, but one that comes to mind is the last few seconds of "The Terry Cup" where everyone's chanting and dancing in unison while a rotoscoped guy in a Robin Hood outfit is jumping around and playing THE HELL out of a flute: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/yolo-crystal-fantasy/the-terry-cup

Given last year’s demand for more ranked ballots, here’s how I think I’d like to do the scoring this year:
If you want an unranked ballot, please note that when you submit it and I’ll give every show you nominate 8 points.
If you want a ranked ballot, please note that when you submit it and, regardless of how many shows you vote for, here’s how your ballot will be scored:
Your #1 show gets 15 points.Your #2 show gets 15 points.Your #3 show gets 10 points.Your #4 show gets 10 points.Your #5 show gets 10 points.Your #6 show gets 5 points.Your #7 show gets 5 points.Your #8 show gets 5 points.Your #9 show gets 5 point.Your #10 show gets 5 points.Your #11 to #20 shows get 3 points apiece.Your #21 to #25 shows get 1 point apiece.
You can vote for as many as 25 shows but I AM ENCOURAGING YOU TO SUBMIT A BALLOT EVEN IF YOU’RE ONLY VOTING FOR THREE OR FOUR SHOWS… or even just one! If you list more than 25 shows on your ballot, I’ll ignore everything after 25.
We got over 50 votes for this poll in 2019 and, given pandemic watch habits, I think this was an even more important outlet, so I’d like an even broader slice of the ILX audience. Can we get 100 ballots?
How’s that sound?

This is better. I'd say under this system, 18 points for a #1, then 12, 10, 8 for #s 3,4,5, then as you were. Differentiating people's top 5 placements seems important. Really what I'd favour most is 1-20 points for #s 25-6 and then going up in increments of 3 for the top 5, so 23 for 5, 26 for 4, 29 for 3, 32 for 2 and 35 for 1.

I like how inexplicable forks' point divisions are, while also acknowledging that ppl's fine rankings are pretty arbitrary.
Gummidge was way too late to make an impact on the 2019 poll, so nominating it here seems fine. I'll be watching this week's accidental one-off sometime on NYD, hopefully.
(The three eps appeared in less than 365 days, if that helps: 26 and 27 December 2019, and Christmas Eve this year.)

half of pera was in 2020 but it DID place in the 2019 poll so i am open to pulling it for that reason.

I just finished watching Undone on Amazon and was about to nominate it, but I see that it was actually 2019 and simply didn't place last year. What a shame, it's an excellent show

According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Pera_Talks_with_You#Season_2_(2019%E2%80%9320)
Nine out of 13 "Joe Pera" Season 2 episodes were in 2020, plus the "Relaxing Old Footage with Joe Pera" special also came out in 2020. I am totally voting for Joe Pera if it's on this year's poll (maybe #1 spot for me!).
― ernestp, Friday, 1 January 2021 18:53 (three years ago) link
i'm right there with you but every episode except Relaxing Old Footage (which is effectively a single episode special and not open to nomination) was out by the time we voted last year and it charted at #7 last year so we gotta let it go for this oneTop 77 Television and Streaming Video Series of 2019

BTW, Bojack did place #14 in the 2019 poll but the final eight episodes were not part of that vote, as they came out on January 31... so any votes should be for that final half of the last season as a stand-alone show.

I appreciate the thinking ahead but I would ask that we only nominate shows that we might possibly vote for by the time voting comes around... so I'm okay if you're nominating something in advance of a planned watch prior to Feb 1 but otherwise, no need for completism.

I haven’t seen it but people had good things to say about ZeroZeroZero on Amazon.

First few episodes were very good but felt it lost its way a bit after that. Quite a bit of crossover with the Gomorrah production crew I think.

I don't think I'm voting but I would have given a few points to The Shivering Truth

i mean, vote for it if you want to as long as it came out in 2020? the nominations are to provide people with lines to color within.

it did. Good Place finale also amazing and glad it got picked up
― imago, Sunday, 10 January 2021 18:33 (three years ago) link
incidentally The Good Place placed in last year's poll, finished before the voting ended in 2020 and is not eligible for voting this year

Ah, I did wonder at the fact it wasn't nominated
― groovypanda, Sunday, 10 January 2021 18:57 (three years ago) link
