The Boneyard Greatest TV Show of All-Time Tournament

[Devland]

Can only be one reason they were cracking up over it.
Because it never gets old and is ALWAYS hysterical:

I think you just proved Temery's point.

You might want to look out your window. I think there's some kids on your lawn.

Wow. Guess you don’t know me or know what I do.

????? You run a daycare on your lawn?

Wow! You just basically pulled the "Do you know who I am?" card. There is not a better way to put people off. BTW, This is an internet message board. Nobody cares who you are.

That's going to cost you - you don't know who you're dealing with!

For all the Mad Men fans: I'm soundly in the "I don't get it" camp. Heard all the buzz and watched the first couple of episodes and it just seemed like a soap opera that moved at a glacial pace that I guess was supposed to be ground breaking because it was set in a hackneyed sixties cliche of a world.

Can someone who likes this show explain its appeal ?

I'm pretty sure to see the Ali-Frazier fights live, you had to pay and go to a venue that showed it on closed circuit TV. ABC's Wide World of Sports showed a taped replay the next Saturday. Was a huge Frazier fan. Not really a fan of Cassius Clay.

And here I thought everyone who still referred to Ali as Clay had died long ago.

It had it moments, with solid storylines and acting, and as a period piece it was very accurate in style/setting/behaviors, but it was hardly consistent. I caught maybe 2/3rds of the episodes in real time, but when I tried binging after it was off the air, I fell asleep more than once. And I'm a guy who once idolized Jerry Della Femina and "From Those Wonderful Folks Who Brought You Pearl Harbor" which was inspiration for much of MadMen. I can certainly understand how some folks wouldn't put it near the top.

Has anyone mentioned Gold Rush? How about Forged in Fire? CounterPart? I missed a lot of primetime TV living in dorms between 79-87.

I feel the same about Breaking Bad. Tried several times to watch both shows, and just didn't like either.

No problem. Happy Easter and thank you for what you do. Happy Easter to all boneyarders, it is a big day for me and my family.

In list likes this, it's really hard to separate which shows were your's favorite, most popular or simply the best?

And how in god's name is Peep Show not on anyone's list. If you are a fan of British Comedy, it's brilliant.

Or the Office UK.

Great show. Great acting. Idea. Execution was spot on.
