GRcade's Best TV Series Ever - VOTING OVER - LOCK IT UP

What is the best TV series ever according to GRcade? Last time around Lost won that distinction, leaving South Park and The Simpsons to take 2nd and 3rd spots. Those results can be found here at GRRedux.

But a lot can change in a year. Will Heroes remain in the top ten? Will The Wire get more recognition now it's started to air on BBC2?
_______________________________________________________

PM me your top ten shows that you believe are the best ever by 11:00pm Wednesday 20th May in order of preference, the first show will gain the most points and so on.

You can post your lists in the thread to generate discussion but please PM them first, so I can collect them easier.

All television series from any country are eligible, no matter when or where they aired.
_______________________________________________________
The points system will go as follows:

1st) 10 points
2nd) 9 points
3rd) 8 points
4th) 7 points
5th) 6 points
6th) 5 points
7th) 4 points
8th) 3 points
9th) 2 points
10th) 1 point

Simple enough. Placing will be allocated by:

-Total points, then
-Total number of votes, then
-Highest number of tier votes

Which means if three series receive say, 12 points each and:

Show A receives - Two 1st place votes and one fourth place vote
Show B receives - Two 2nd place votes, one fourth place vote, and one second place vote
Show C receives - Three 3rd place votes

Then the placing goes Show B, Show A, Show C.

Hopefully I've explained that properly.

Go.

Gives a chance for people to nominate shows people might have forgotten about.

Does it have to still be on TV, or can it be from the past?

I'm way more of a film guy than I am TV, but needless to say, The Wire is going to get all my points for being the best thing ever made.

Surely if they're fogotten about, that should disqualify them. People don't forget their favourite shows.

I'll leave it open for a week.

Do you all just want to vote now then? Could, y'know, talk your shows up a bit. :shifty:

Just realised, the scoring system is actually not great is it? :lol: :fp:

I think we should restrict it to last seasons shows only. Then we could do it every year.

Last season...

Big Love
Breaking Bad
The Shield
Mad Men
Weeds

All time...

Six Feet Under
The Wire
Deadwood
The Simpsons
The Sopranos

Yup.

Was Lost's win last year the result of Hexx's disastrious awards( :lol: ) or was it something else?
