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
