Not got two more to make a top 10?

[–] phailhaus@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can't think of two more fiction shows that I'd put up with those. If panel shows are allowed, 9. QI and 10. Taskmaster.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

Sure. Added. Also I'd suggest For All Mankind, Battlestar Galactica and Farscape as you seem to be into space science fiction.

And Foundation.

  1. Adventure Time
  2. Veep
  3. Community
  4. Archer
  5. What We Do in the Shadows
  6. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
  7. The Expanse
  8. Fleabag
  9. The Americans
  10. Foundation

I tried not to think too hard about it and just go with the shows that immediately came to mind, or I'd never actually finish making a list

Can't say I have a favourite so this is more in the order i remember them, much to the detriment of the shows which remain forgotten and beyond the numbered list.

Edit: re-edited.

  1. Stargate SG-1
  2. Doctor Who
  3. Eureka
  4. Stark Trek The Next Generation
  5. Stargate Atlantis
  6. Star Trek Voyager
  7. Star Trek Deep Space 9
  8. The Twilight Zone
  9. Weird Science
  10. Warehouse 13

Can you not organise them in a way that makes (1) your favourite and (10) your least favourite? I understand this is just for fun, but and it all gets blurry after a while, but just sorta go by your own vibes.

[–] lath@piefed.social 1 points 20 hours ago

Can't say i have a favourite. Different series for different moods.

I'll reorder them by liked characters or something dunno.
