Your top 10 tv shows of time that are not expected to be by others

[idahoblues]

You missed the folk in Namibia and Papua New Guinea. I call a miscount.

I only missed them out because there was enough pro Soprano votes that they couldn't have effected the outcome.

Men Behaving Badly...2nd series onwards.
Bottom.
Dad's Army.
Escape to the Country.
Mortimer and Whitehouse fishing thing.
Bangers and Cash.
The Motorbike Show.
Top Gear (Clarkson and Co version)
The Simpsons (up to season 13)
The Young Ones.

Mortimer and Whitehouse is such a great programme. Perfect viewing on a Sunday night.

The thread title has given me a headache. Do you mean TV shows about “time”? That’s a fairly niche topic and, whilst certainly very interesting, I’m not sure it would or could be turned into a “series”.
Tempus fugit

The thread title has given me a headache.

Yeah, I’m struggling with it too.

Fine. Stuff not expected to be by others. Well, I'm a Yank so much of what I like will be a surprise anyhow, plus a few shows from your way. Also, many of you dislike South Park, so . . .

1. South Park
2. Cheers (Frasier wasn't close to as funny)
3. Storage Wars (the original one in LA, not that Texas shite)
4. Antiques Roadshow (the one in the States; the British version is dull)
5. Community
6. Vera
7. Derry Girls
8. Batman
9. The McLaughlin Group
10. Andor, tied with The Mandalorian

More? Okay.

11. The Dukes of Hazzard
12. The Rockford Files (best theme song ever)
13. Emergency ("A personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth . . . ")
14. Dog The Bounty Hunter
15. Press Your Luck (game show none of you know)
16. Password (another game show none of you know)
17. The Kids In The Hall
18. The Young Ones
19. American Gladiators
20. Any U8 game I was in when our matches were televised on local access

Python, Simpsons, Sopranos, Family Guy, Fawlty Towers, Seinfeld, Lasso, The Good Place, etc. not "surprises".

Hate Star Trek, those Duck guys, MASH, the show where you vote people off the island, etc.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

1. The Professionals
2. Starsky and Hutch
3. Miami Vice
4. Dallas

10. Whose line is it anyway

[I'm With Stupid]

Never seen the American one, but I loved the British one growing up. The theme tune was immense.



Wolf was obviously the best. Here he is channelling Jurgen Klopp...
