Unopened Boxsets that I liked the look of from the Pilot: The ILX Television 51 Show Countdown Extravaganza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha. I recommended it to a bunch of friends only to be called an emofagwhatever. And then like 6 months later a bunch came back to me gushing about how much they love gilmore girls.

Well, that clip was just because ilx likes yo la tengo and sonic youth.

And so on to my last reveal of the day...

Oh wait, I said I was only going to be doing 51-41 today. You guys can wait.

Gilmore Girls finished way too low. I love it with an almost familial love.

haha damn i noticed your mistake but wasn't gonna say anything :)

And that clip is totally unrepresentative about what makes GG great. The stock goofy townspeople are my least favorite aspect of the show.

Btw...

Only 6 shows didn't place and got a #1 vote.
Only 2 more shows have under 10 votes.
58 shows broke 1000 points.
Only 2 shows outside of the top 51 get 10 or more votes.
26 shows didn't get 1 vote.

Eh fuck it, i'll do 1 more tonight.

Inbetweeners and State of Play at the bottom though...
I get a feeling that this is going to be one of those poll result lists that make more sense when turned on their head.

For what it's worth, I've hooked almost as many Doubting Thomases on Gilmore Girls as I have on Buffy. And I was once a hardcore Doubter towards both. And now they're both among my top five shows of the decade. So there you go.

40. Wonder Showzen (11 votes, 1 first place vote, 1350 points.)

I have to say I unashamedly love #39, but you are gonna have to wait until tomorrow to SB me for it.

Fuck knows what Wonder Showzen is. Youtube-ing it for the purposes of the poll didn't make me any wiser to what the fuck it is either.

OK, so that and ATHF finishing ahead of Venture Bros...yeah, there's the bile, I can feel it coming up.

One 1st place vote for Wonder Showzen. I had a feeling that was me for a second, but I knocked it right down the list in the end.
I think. Can't remember.

I've never actually watched Wonder Showzen, but it never really seemed like my cup of tea. Isn't it just a "dark" and therefore "hilarious" take on children's programming?

(There will be fights on this thread. I can feel it already.)

Your name isn't Mike, so no it wasn't you.

xpost to David. I can send you your ballot back if you like.

No, it has a lot of jokes. And it's not self-conscious about its darkness, thank god.

Wait, I didn't notice 1 show. 7 shows got #1 votes and didn't place. It didn't change the results, I just skimmed over it when I was looking a minute ago.

I voted for Gilmore Girls, but don't particularly like anything else so far except State of Play. Really don't get the love for Wonder Showzen, which from the disc I watched seemed to be children's programming designed to make kids stupid.

Fuck knows what Wonder Showzen is. Youtube-ing it for the purposes of the poll didn't make me any wiser to what the fuck it is either.

i think mtv keeps clips off youtube or something but it can be torrented easily

Hey, Jouster...are you the Jouster from the AST board? Just curious.

thats a mtv show? for some absurd reason, i thought they had a bit of quality control. or maybe I should stop thinking of them as the network who once made Daria.

gilmore girls was my number 2.

wonder showzen was my number 17.

full wonder showzen eps here: http://www.mtv.com/shows/wonder_showzen/series.jhtml

wonder showzen was a hoot.

Wonder Showzen was my #21! I really did push it down the list. Though, have to say, no other programme has had me on the floor laughing than WS these past ten long years.

Wonder Showzen was delightfully demented, and sometimes outright offensive.

I have tried to watch Xavier, but that shit damn near broke my brain. I gather that it's not all that similar to Wonder Showzen, though.

Angel was hit or miss, but it had one of the best series finales I can think of. Maybe the best.

Gilmore Girls, I always wanted to like, but never quite did.

I know we're not there yet but can I just say I hope Friday Night Lights does respectably in this thing - in a non-anonymous environment I might say I love other cooler stuff more but I'd be lying. I don't know if even The Wire gives as complete a picture of a community as FNL does for Dillon, Texas. Crucifictorious! Riggins Rigs! The Landing Strip! The "Who's your Buddy?" TV ads! The Alamo Freeze!

Well, did you vote for it?

I would have but didn't see this until today - just a spectator on this one.

wonder showzen was maybe my favourite show ever

just fyi

well lets just hope more people like a show about white kids playing a stupid sport. because no-one voted for One Tree Hill

one tree hill is a pile of ass imo

yeah, it looks awful. what does it have to do with anything? I didn't even know it was about white kids playing a stupid sport.

Oh, that was just my intepretation of it. Like darragh and his seinfeld catchphrases.

i've never actually watched an episode.

Wonder Showzen was amazing. the "patience" episode! omg

Wonder Showzen's the best thing on this list so far by a country mile.

Now I'm wishing I voted in this...I was overwhelmed by the options.

The Clarence free speech segment of Wonder Showzen from Season 1 was genius. Most of the stuff involving kids saying "inappropriate" things (oooh, subversive!) got very old very quickly, and then Clarence got old too so I stopped watching.

Fuck knows what Wonder Showzen is. Youtube-ing it for the purposes of the poll didn't make me any wiser to what the fuck it is either.
