The shows on the Rolling Stone list I've watched in their entirety, or mostly - MDH Sep 26, 13:26 1

Sure sure, a show named Fleabag, that literally 90% of the population NEVER heard of, is #5 all time. Sure. Right. -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 11:43 45
- Sight and Sound's list of top 10 best all-time films has fine films that would not meet such a requirement - Roger More Sep 26, 12:50 2
  - that must be an old list (or made by an old person before 1982 when Blade Runner came out) -- nm - mud Sep 26, 12:53 1
    - Updated in 2021. - Roger More Sep 26, 12:57
- It’s a terrible list. Completely unrepresentative of television as a whole. -- nm - Qale Sep 26, 12:42 2
  - It's almost totally American, 100% English, biased towards narrative, hopeless recency biased and skews male - Reagen Sep 26, 12:51
  - David’s Backyard Adventures: Cable Access Edition was robbed, I tell you! -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 12:51
- Fleabag seems to be a perfect inclusion for such a list. - the wrong element Sep 26, 12:33 2
  - And if that isn't crazy enough, I can also defend recency bias. - the wrong element Sep 26, 12:43
  - *finger to nose* -- nm - Beaker Sep 26, 12:35
- It's also a BBC show, and it's huge over there. - JaxSean Sep 26, 12:26
- the lack of support around here for Cop Rock and Manimal is disturbing -- nm - crash davis Sep 26, 12:05 2
  - Listen I wanted to watch cop rock but it got canceled before I could! -- (edited) - ty97 Sep 26, 12:12 1
    - I always thought that they could take the best bits and make a decent Broadway show out .of it. -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 26, 13:15
- I do question how a show with a limited run would qualify…the other shows had far more time to wobble and didn’t. - Will Hunting Sep 26, 11:56 2
  - yeah, that's fair -- nm - prayformojo Sep 26, 11:59
  - Probably the fairest criticism. 12 and out isn't a hard run. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:58
- 6 Emmy awards, my good man. -- nm - Max Sep 26, 11:53 3
  - yea, thats why its on this list, because its a Emmy pet darling. - Jovian Sep 26, 11:55 2
    - You've heard of SNL, right? And they heard of the show, because they had her host with Taylor Swift. -- nm - Max Sep 26, 11:59
    - Do you think it's impossible that you've missed seeing or hearing about something that's really excellent? - Reagen Sep 26, 11:57
- Popular <> good. That said, I never saw it nor do I know one thing about it. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 26, 11:48
- It may be that good, but I didn’t really care for the episodes of it that I saw. -- nm* - znufrii Sep 26, 11:46 5
  - I suspect that Wallerbridge is like Ben Stiller: polarizing. Either you're into it, or not. (See: Cable Guy) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:49 4
    - I feel like that's a movie that needs a reappraisal. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 12:05
    - It wouldn’t have occurred to me to think of Ben Stiller as polarizing. -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 11:55 2
      - As a director, I mean. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:58 1
        
        Ah, okay. -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 11:58
- i don't know if it's top 5 all times for me but top 10 comedy, at least -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 26, 11:46
- I personally wouldn't have it in my top 10, but "widely viewed" doesn't have to be a qualification. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:45 16
  - I could mention this shows name to my entire extended family, so about 25-30 people. And I guarantee no one knows wtf Im talking about. - Jovian Sep 26, 11:47 15
    - I'm just not seeing why it has to. - Reagen Sep 26, 11:48 11
      - its shit! -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 11:50 10
        
        you haven't seen the show, so ... you don't know. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:50 9
        
        I do. Its new. And its popular with its very small audience. Its not a top 10 show of all time. Period. -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 11:51 8
        
        You're clearly defining top 10 differently than Rolling Stone is. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:54 4
        
        Greatest TV shows of all time. (again #5 my ass) -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 11:55 3
        
        I concur -- nm - Beaker Sep 26, 12:26
        
        I love that you think simply repeating your uninformed opinion over and over somehow helps prove your point. -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 12:18
        
        That they like. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:56
        
        How would you know? -- nm - znufrii Sep 26, 11:52 2
        
        same way I knew their would be a coup attempt. "I smoke and I know things" - Jovian Sep 26, 11:53 1
        
        "you're a wizard, jovey!" -- nm - mud Sep 26, 12:04
    - This was a list, I think, not an election. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 26, 11:48 2
      - yes, its a shit list. Atlanta or Fleabag should be no where near to a top ten - Jovian Sep 26, 11:49 1
        
        Which has nothing with it being popular or not. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 26, 11:51

- Please go away I can’t deal with this -- nm - ty97 Sep 26, 12:14
- He finally looked old in the pre-talk for TG2. Like the 3 years from filming to release was jarring. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 26, 11:53 5
  - the Redford cliff. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:55 4
    - Also, Ed Harris in TG2 looked like Charles Dance’s brother so aging hit him hard. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 26, 11:58 3
      - I'd say he's looked like that since Appaloosa at least. -- nm* - Max Sep 26, 12:03 2
        
        his face is in danger of disappearing into itself. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 12:06 1

the actual ten best shows ever: - mud Sep 26, 11:30 10
- Over the weekend I watched 4/6 of the Monty Python doc on Netflix. A good amount of stuff I did not know. 3 was Grail and 4 was Life of. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 11:59 1
  - ♡ that doc -- nm - mud Sep 26, 12:06
- unrelated related: which is better? BCS or BB? I think it might be BCS. -- nm - amanda Sep 26, 11:53 3
  - BB -- nm - Jovian Sep 26, 12:56
  - I prefer BCS, but I understand those who vote the other way. -- nm - Barynn Sep 26, 11:56
  - BCS for me. -- nm - Max Sep 26, 11:54
- I hate to tell ya' mud - decline Sep 26, 11:32 3
  - wrongo, it's superb -- nm - mud Sep 26, 11:33 2
    - superb at putting me to sleep -- nm - decline Sep 26, 11:37 1
      - nevermind that, where's your top ten? -- nm - mud Sep 26, 11:47
Recency bias is a 180 from Rolling Stone's MO. -- nm - Roger More Sep 26, 11:30 1
- Then again, we are living in the golden age of TV. -- nm - Mop Sep 26, 11:41

- We just finished rewatching HIMYM. Need another half hour comedy to watch (we've already gone through most of 30 Rock) - oblique Sep 26, 11:43 2
  - Community -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 26, 11:51 1
    - But only the first 5 seasons. The last two are not nearly as good. - sycor Sep 26, 12:14
- The multiple black-face episodes have been cut from streaming -- nm - Roger More Sep 26, 11:32 2
  - BANJO! -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:34 1
    - Yep, that’s the scene that never fails to make me cringe laugh. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 26, 11:50
- It’s a hilarious show. But yes, quite a bit would be outlawed. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 26, 11:30
Sep. 26 birthdays: Anne Robinson (78), Bryan Ferry (77), Linda Hamilton (66), Serena Williams (41) - Max Sep 26, 11:28 [youtube]
Favre inquired about using prison labor to build his ill-gotten volleyball arena -- (link) - Reagen Sep 26, 11:21 6
- Shih, it's called "community service " -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 26, 13:12
- The Sage Rosenfels thing is up to 120k likes, and it just gets more savage every time I read it. -- (link) - David Sep 26, 11:28 3
  - He was my QB in NFL 2K2 and I made him into an absolute beast. -- nm - MDH Sep 26, 11:32 1
    - Oh, that was such a fun game. -- nm - David Sep 26, 11:38
  - That and his follow-up are poetically perfect. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 26, 11:30
- Officer thinking. -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 11:22
wink -- (pic) - Spawn Sep 26, 11:17 [Attachment] 14
- The thing I'm getting from this is that Phoebe can't actually wink. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:23 12
  - I can only wink with my right eye. I can only snap with my left hand. -- nm - oblique Sep 26, 11:41 9
    - I can only snap my ring finger/thumb. I think it is due to finger length (both hands). -- nm - Spawn Sep 26, 11:56 1
      - Mine is my middle finger. I can *kinda* snap the ring finger but it is mostly pathetic -- nm - oblique Sep 26, 11:57
    - I'm an ambi-snapper and ambi-winker. -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:46 6
      - (all 4 fingers on each hand, even) -- nm - Reagen Sep 26, 11:50 4
        
        That is fascinating (to me). I do see I can sort of snap with the middle fingers. But not at all with the edge fingers. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 26, 11:56
        
        I'm imagining you now snapping each finger in succession with satisfaction to confirm and then looking up to the puzzled looks of students -- nm - oblique Sep 26, 11:52 2
        
        I do it as a bit of a fidget sometimes - Reagen Sep 26, 12:08
        
        Let's hope he didn't test out the ambi-wanker assertion the same way -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:54
      - I definitely misread that. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:48
  - Speaking of winks, I've always thought the one in Kingsman was CGI. Is CGI winking totally a thing? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:40
  - Yeah, my bad for referring to it as a "wink". I blame the pressure of Firsting! -- nm* - Spawn Sep 26, 11:26
- Is this the sequel to Smile? -- nm - Dano Sep 26, 11:22
