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

I'd never heard of IASIP until it got a great big ILX thread about it, and now I think i might like to see it (I managed to not watch it at all when it started over here). I haven't got round to it yet, and now FXUK seems to have dropped it (or was it Virgin 1?)

xposts

compared to the british stuff higher up sunny in phil is pretty international (speaking as non-us)

shock?

Yeah, now this poll stops becoming lol cult thing and starts becoming srs.

shit just got real

this is the true story...of 7 snow leopards...put together in the same house...

get fucked ilx

get fucked

Yeah I voted for Blue Planet instead, sorry about that.

still pretty sure that my no 1 will win this.

still, lol though

everything from here-on in will be contrasted and found wanting, and you will all feel guilty in your black, black hearts.

I somehow missed this off my poll, so it should probably have gone higher than this. I watch a lot of Attenborough things, but this one was extra-epic, also loved the extras with the guy crashing his flying contraption into the baobabs, and the guys trapped with the polar bear etc etc.

Wikipedia tells me that Sigourney Weaver did the Attenborough voice-over for US audiences. Er, why?)

Also, WOAH SHARK BITE.

I want to watch this again now.

loved the extras with the guy crashing his flying contraption into the baobabs

That bloke was a legend.

i may re-watch it all, i think my attention span isn't as bad as it was first time around. did think: 'wow pretty, oh wait, now i'm kind of bored' everytime i watched it.

I've never seen either Earth or Blue Planet all the way through. I'm waiting to get a rockin' HD TV + Blu-Ray.

that's a crummy reason not to give it your no 1 imo

He was great. That cameraman forced to do that at the behest of the batty inventor dude was briefly my favourite person on telly. I can't believe I must have missed and therefore deleted this on my first runthrough of the longlist.

Sort of know what you mean; it's an indisputable, towering achievement and totally ravishing, but I don't actually enjoy it as much as a story about people trying to kill each other with guns or what have you.

hardon for sb imo

That cameraman forced to do that at the behest of the batty inventor dude was briefly my favourite person on telly.

Haha, yeah I remember that now, he was bricking it!

lol fond memories at the funeral of a GUY YOU SHOT, that's what this is like

A guy we shot who is going to haunt us till the end of the thread.

travesty imo.

Oh look, it's another show I gave up on after about three episodes. At this rate, Samantha Who? will be number one.

this thread is car crash entertaiment all of a sudden

This song

omg i forgot ted mosby is a jerk. that, plus the two robin songs and the cat funeral song = more musical entertainment than jools holland could sell his soul for.

From tree flying clip:

"How much control do we have?"
"Not very much."

plus Proclaimers and that scene where Ted gets drunk and sings Cheap Trick to Robin xp

ok, i realise that USLXORS will be much the same way about many of the results to come so i'll be quiet now.

yeah as some doubtlessly have said it's got more of a cult/devoted following (which kinda makes me more surprised you havdnt heard of it, tbh!), but it's a very good show when it's on a roll and probably deerved its placement

planet earth was way too low now that i think about it, can't remember where i put it on my list. an absolute unfuckwithable classic for chillin with friends to, some type of state-altering substance is recommended but totally not necessary

IASIP is on my 'to-do' list as a result of this poll, tbh.

i thought about it but then the first comparison made was seinfeld and now i don't seem as keen.

oh shit yeah, forgot that.

planet earth- it's like a nature documentary, but AM I RIIGHT?

i don't really get that comparison tbh (though seinfeld is obv great and you're tripping). the humor is much different

xxp

group of amoral, selfish bastard friends get into hijinx, and sometimes seemingly disparate narrative strands come together in humorous and unexpected ways.

word, utterly classic at its best

youtubes probably unnecessary here, we've all seen this i assume

such a shame he went gaga.

HIMYM = most overrated TV show on ILX ... and IRL.

most overrated show on planet earth, would you say?
