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

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.

xpost to chap

did think: 'wow pretty, oh wait, now i'm kind of bored' everytime i watched it.

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?

say hello to my little suggest-ban

jk.

yeah let's start doing that

I'm not sure Chappelle was on over here in britisher land but yeah, i assume it has been watched online by a fuck load of people.

FX showed it for a while.

Even though I've never watched it, FX starting to become my favourite channel.

wanted to do a lame immaletyoufinish on A Hoy Hoy after this low ranking Planet Earth travesty but then check and I only had it at number 19 behind stuff I don't even like that much (I don't watch a lot of TV) so I'm part of the problem tbh.

Playing catch-up with the others listed so far:

51. The Inbetweeners - yay for knob gags and teenagers who don't act like adults think teenagers act
50. Breaking Bad - never seen it, looks v intersting
49. State of Play - excellent, as are most things featuring John Simm, must see this again
48. The Venture Bros - never really got into adult swim things but might check it out
47. Da Ali G Show - such an arse end of the 90s show that it doesn't feel as if it fits in the 2000s but definitely had its moments
46. Q.I. - I'll own up to voting for this, I'm kind of a sucker for lame gags mixed with interesting facts
45. Party Down - dunno, looks ok from clips
44. Aqua Teen Hunger Force - see Venture Bros
43. The Simpsons - didn't make my list but honourable mention/lifetime achievement and all that
42. Angel - I was a fan of Buffy for a while but Angel never quite gripped me, though I'll watch the odd ep if I stumble across it channel surfing
41. Gilmore Girls - one of those shows I see and hear mentioned (particularly on ILX) a lot and I have no idea what it's about. Don't think I've seen a second of it.
40. Wonder Showzen - see bits and bobs of this and it's funny - I think I may have spend a hungover morning at ATP watching it (if my fellow ATPers are reading, wasn't that where "Oh I see, your racism was ironic" came from?)
39. Gillette Soccer Saturday - stats and stats and idiotic pundits making arses of themselves and the legend that is Stelling. Perfect way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.
38. Black Books - lots of laughs but sort of irritating as well
37. Oz - thought this was a 90s thing too. Saw wee bits of it on cable somewhere but never really got into it
36. Dexter - heard good things, keep meaning to watch it
35. Friday Night Lights - nope, never heard of it
34. Jackass - deserves to be on the list, probably round about here. Can't remember the last time I even thought about watching it.
33. Project Runway - nope, never seen it
32. Family Guy - lots of laughs but sort of irritating as well. Don't quite get why so many people rate it so highly
31. House M.D. - friends keep telling me to watch this, one day I will
30. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia - now I know there's a TV show called 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'
29. Planet Earth - love it - just got a big giant TV to watch it on but no blu-ray yet (Blue Planet was awes too)
28. How I Met Your Mother - a show I associate with ILX as I never hear it mentioned in my day to day life but see it on here all the time. Looks funny, I'll maybe try to watch some.
27. Chappelle's Show - I've seen and enjoyed some of his stand-up stuff but never seen the show.
