The Syndicate

For those of you who are new to countdown threads, here's how it works!

Each of you will submit to me, via PM, your favorite television shows of all time (top 15 I think is best)...I want to make it a longer list so we get some good ones in there Once I have the lists, I will give each a point value, 15 points for #1, 14 points for #2 and so on. I will then tabulate which shows got how many points based on both appearance in lists and placement in lists (i.e. #1 - 15) and come up with a top 20 (maybe 25) countdown! Its actually pretty fun, so play along!

Feel free to post your lists in here, but I will only count the ones which I receive via PM. I will start the countdown in about a week, or longer depending on when I get a bunch of lists. Please make sure to post something in this thread too so people realize y'all are paying attention!

So TV Watchers................let's get it on

Awesome idea

I will get on a list tonight~

There is Twin Peaks.

Then Lost.

Then everything else.

Contest over.

BOOM.

My list is in!

I submitted my list, although I am filled with doubts about it. There are a lot of great shows I had to leave out.

Ditto~

I've got some lists going, spread the word.

This is going to be a good list because as much as I love lost, its not just all lost, some other show, lost, ad nauseum

OMG, I forgot Northern Exposure. I may have to do some revision

I sent in 15 - it was DIFFICULT. to narrow things down. I'm happy to see our hostess will entertain another 10 choices.

I on purpose did not put LOST on my list. We all love it, it's a given. I wanted to point out other shows that have helped me to get to the point of loving LOST. Some of the shows are pretty much unheard of -some are just forgotten.

So, who wants to bet a won't like a single show on the list?

No bet, lol. When i was your age, I also took pride in liking things no one else did and disliking what everyone else liked. I kinda still do, but not like when i was in high school & college

This was my original list:

1~ LOST
2~ ST: TNG
3~ Dexter
4~ SFU
5~ Big Love
6~ Sopranos
7~ Person of Interest (could go higher, this is now)
8~ My So Called Life
9~ Firefly
10~Twilight Zone
11~ Dr Who
12~Twin Peaks
13~Breaking Bad (could go higher, just starting)
14~MST3K (I miss this every Sunday AM)
15~ Frasier

I can't really get rid of anything on it, so I am gonna add Northern Exposure as 9.5 between Firefly & the Twilight Zone (the original B & W btw)

Modification, Kate

1~ LOST
2~ ST: TNG
3~ Dexter
4~ SFU
5~ Big Love
6~ Sopranos
7~ Person of Interest (could go higher, this is now)
8~ My So Called Life
9~ Firefly
9.5~ Northern Exposure
10~Twilight Zone
11~ Dr Who
12~Twin Peaks
13~Breaking Bad (could go higher, just starting)
14~MST3K (I miss this every Sunday AM)
15~ Frasier

Breaking Bad will go higher, trust me.

Send in a list!

What show is ST: TNG?

Star Trek: The Next Generation

Thank you reywas! Also, I'm not sure how this works but shouldn't The Wire be on the list of top ten shows? Best show I've ever seen.

Send a list of your favorites to me JC!

Ok, I sent mine in with The Wire at the top followed by LOST. I also included Friday Night Lights and Homeland and Law and Order and several HBO shows, plus my two daily faves The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (the only way to get the news as far as I'm concerned! I had others such as House, Modern Family and Parks and Recreation etc. Should be a fun game.

sure, the tube and I go way back -

Please get any last lists in to me by tomorrow. I need to get this going and be done by may 3rd!

I don't see any lists and I am pretty sure it is well past May 3rd. Granted, I've been pretty sleep deprived the last 7 months.

Whatever happened to this?

Deep Space 9
Star Trek The Next Generation
