UKmix Top 100 TV Series Countdown [#1 REVEALED]

by **Benny** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:31 pm

Nice to see "Twin Peaks" in the top 100, glad that people still remember it.

"Angel" was ok but I never liked it as much as "Buffy". The opening theme, however, was fantastic.

by **Thriller** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:51 pm

Twin Peaks is one of those shows I've wanted to watch for a long time but never got round to it.

Glad to see Rocko's Modern Life, such a cute and quirky animation!

My #9!

by **Lewis17** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 9:00 pm

Stargate SG-1 was my #4, so I guess with 27 points that makes me the only voter

This, for me, was better than any of the Star Trek series, which I also love. Stargate Atlantis was good, too, though I won't be surprised if no one else votes for it.

192 Three's Company

Great comedy!

Sadly, I discovered the show only two months before John Ritter died.

RIP John Ritter and Don Knotts.

Wow. I've seen articles written making the argument it is the greatest American sitcom ever.

Bear in mind that you're probably older (not old, just oldER

) than most other voters, I wouldn't be surprised that some of the older shows will score low. Also, as this is ukmix, there might be a bias towards UK shows.

by **Spartan** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 11:52 am

Glad to see Rules Of Engagement make the Top 100, and glad to see I wasn't the only one who voted for it. It's a great ensemble comedy and provides plenty of laughs for me. I only got into it last year but it's brilliant.

I voted for Rules Of Engagement as well, I do quite like it but haven't seen all the episodes yet but what I've seen, I've enjoyed.

Rules of Engagement
Haven't heard of that one either. Or the actors in it.

David Spade is an unknown there? (he was on SNL in the 90's and was in a lot of comedies with Chris Farley), probably for the best, he's always been annoying.

Patrick Warburton was Puddy on Seinfeld.

by **Spartan** » Sun Feb 19, 2012 7:57 pm

I'd heard of him before Rules, but never seen him in anything. More recently, Warburton is currently best known for voicing Joe on Family Guy, he has an unmistakable voice.

lol MTM was already off the air by the time I was born, just was a little surprised because the show has a reputation as this timeless all time classic that reinvented the wheel for sitcoms, so I figured it would've been higher than #191.

It is set in the fictional Star Wars galaxy, during the same time period as the previous 2003 Star Wars: Clone Wars series (the three-year time period between the films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith).

Happy Endings is an American television series for the ABC network.
The series revolves around the lives of six friends living in Chicago: formerly engaged Dave and Alex, married couple Brad and Jane, and single friends Max and Penny.
The series begins with the group dealing with the break up of the couple that first brought them all together, Dave and Alex. This leaves the rest of the group (Max, Brad, Jane, and Penny) in an awkward position of either trying to stay together as friends or having to choose sides. Dave and Alex decide to stay friends, but there are many more complications down the road.

Meanwhile, Gohan; Gokuus son reveals his hidden powers against Raditz and nearly kills Raditz. However Gokuu is killed in the end, but Raditz is eventually defeated by Piccolo.

I didn't vote for Happy Endings but I just got into it recently and it's one of the best comedy series atm. If I was voting now it would probably get a few points from me.

So far I lost
30 Beverly Hills, 90210
29 Rules of Engagement
28 Xena: Warrior Princess
26 Nanny
24 My Name is Earl
23 Cold Case

by **ANH** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 1:13 pm

I didn't vote for this, but hope A:TLA & Community are high up.
I doubt it...but I can still dream.

Nice to see DBZ on the list.
It's such a cool show. The only drawback is that each pre-fight sequence took 5 episodes, and each fight took another 5, with TONS of dialogue in each episode. That's what put me off, and I lost interest. It got so boring. The only saga I saw completely was the Cell one. I watched the Bu saga half-heatedly.

by **Lewis17** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 1:19 pm

Looks like I'm the only one who voted for Dragon's Den

by **Wayne** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 1:30 pm

Stargate I've seen a couple of times; IIRC, it used to be broadcast after Star Trek on BBC2 years and years ago. And my dad used to always watch them both. I always preferred Star Trek [especially Voyager, which I adore and hope is yet to come]!

by **Spartan** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:03 pm

Happy Endings looks decent but I've yet to actually watch it, it seems like my sort of show.

Out of the ones that missed Powerpuff Girls is brilliant - I still remember the introduction.

The Bill was great in its heyday - there were some amazing storylines. I watched it from 2002-2008 or something - I wasn't surprised at its axing though as there was a decline in quality. It produced some fantastic TV characters though.

by **Thriller** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 2:40 pm

The Inbetweeners missed?!

It was my #7, one of the best comedies ever and it was a breath of fresh air the time - pure British teen humour, spot on and often relate-able. The first series was the best, third series lost its brilliance a bit but the movie was excellent!

by **johnnyboy** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:01 pm

#92 Happy Endings
#91 Dragonball Z

Two more I haven't heard of!

by **Goldmoney** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 3:45 pm

187 The Powerpuff Girls
91 Dragonball Z

I was the lone DBZ voter, huh? :lol:

My favorite animated series of all-time.

I was OBSESSED with the show in its hey day and so were plenty of kids my age. Yes, the dialogue does drag on at times, but the characters and fight sequences more than make up for it!

PPG is a show I'm embarrassed to like really for obvious reasons, but the characters had their own unique personalities and just like DBZ, it had plenty of fight sequences, which is why it had such a huge fanbase of males. 8-)

DRAGONBALL Z!!!

I was obsessed with that show as a kid. I don't get why it's not on TV anymore. It's much better than all those horrible kids shows they have on now.. :-?

Oh and this show placed WAY to low! I mean #92? Come on! :roll:

by **CrazyCrazy** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 7:25 pm

The Bill? LMFAO :lol:

~ I completely forgot about that!

DBZ is kinda cool never got into it though. :wink:

by **Wardo** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 7:48 pm

It's a shame I didn't notice this countdown! 'Twin Peaks' would have made my top 10 for sure

Looking forward to check 'Dexter', 'Lost', 'Damages' and 'The walking dead' positions.

by **Wayne** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 7:49 pm

WHAT ON EARTH.

How did The Bill miss it? One of my favourite shows of all-time.
