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.)

LJ: Thanks for the input but i have reasons for the system of differentiation I have set up there... I'd like to give people the chance to vote for 2 "#1" picks when they are drastically different. As a for instance, I'm hard pressed to choose between Bluey and I May Destroy You and how do you play that Sophie's Choice?

Totally forgot the second season of Homecoming (Prime). Didn't like it as much as the first, but my ballot will be brief enough that I'll have it on there.

that's 160 nominations and i still feel like we're missing several heavy hitters

also joe pera's second season aired in late 2019 (and was top 10 in the 2019 poll) so might want to cut that one off the noms list?

Magic for Humans (Netflix)(Only just learned tonight that a new season was released half a year ago, yr real bad at this Netflix)
― Telly Salivas (Old Lunch), Friday, 1 January 2021 03:42 (three years ago) link
half of pera was in 2020 but it DID place in the 2019 poll so i am open to pulling it for that reason.
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 1 January 2021 04:31 (three years ago) link
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
― Vinnie, Friday, 1 January 2021 05:31 (three years ago) link
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

should do imo, even though at least Mangrove and Lovers Rock debuted at film festivals

yeah, we can do small axe, though i would appreciate it if anyone who votes for it has seen at least three “episodes” and isn’t just voting for lovers rock

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.
We're wrapping this up on Thursday so get any late nominations in now!

Did not realize episodes of this came out last year! I binged all three seasons just a month ago, thought it was older. Thanks for nomming
― Vinnie, Monday, 4 January 2021 15:53 (three years ago) link
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.
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Monday, 4 January 2021 16:26 (three years ago) link
i do plan on watching at least one of those before the end of the month, but there might be some latecomers who vote but don't nominate
― shabbat bloody shabbat (voodoo chili), Monday, 4 January 2021 16:44 (three years ago) link
also fair! since there's been no limit put on nominations, i just want to avoid folks feeling the need to nominate everything

these are the things currently missing from our nominees that made the metacritic 100. I saw about an episode from a third of these but don't think they're worth nominating. anybody wanna rep?
