oh fuck off on The L Word, the only show that managed to make lesbian sex boring and tedious.

Obviously Brit centric (www.guardian.co.uk)

No Rome? -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 10:03 2
- I think for a long while now I will quibble with any list that does not include Freaks and Geeks. God, I loved that. -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 10:04 1
  - they'd probably throw that into comedy. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 10:05
no Life on Mars means this list is wrong. -- nm - Remlik Jan 13, 09:59
hard to quibble, other than maybe the overall rankings -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 13, 09:50 4
- Me too, especially since I don't recognize two thirds of these -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 09:51 3
  - Drop off the soaps and you've got a pretty good list to watch. They did miss Deadwood though. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:53 2
    - I'd be tempted to recategorise All In The Family to qualify for the list -- nm - zork Jan 13, 09:54 1
      - Why? It's a great sitcom. -- nm - con_carne Jan 13, 10:14
I recently watched all of The Sopranos, though I can't say why I found it compelling. Most of its stories are pointless. - con_carne Jan 13, 09:48
#16 is much more of a comedy than a drama, nice to see it so high on the list though. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:47
24 should get an award for longest running series that thrives off the reputation of two good seasons - though that sounds a bit cumbersome -- nm - crash davis Jan 13, 09:45 1
- right. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 13, 09:46
Wow, #13 surprised me, yet is deserving. 24 being on the list and no CSI: = FAIL -- nm - MDH Jan 13, 09:45
#14?? Listfail. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 13, 09:43 2
- Every other tv article in The Guardian is about how great the show is so I think they're downplaying their obsession with the show. -- nm - LMS Jan 13, 09:49
- You misspelled #25. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 13, 09:44
