93. Supernatural
Points: 29 | Lists: 2 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: 83rd | 2011 Position: 93rd
Seasons: 10 | Episodes: 218
​

Should have ended at the end of series 5, as it was meant to, as it's never reached the heights of the first five series', but those first five series' were some of the best TV I've watched. Bean + Jam Winchester

Supernatural falls back down in to the position it held in 2011, after performing slightly better two years ago. Having said that, it has picked up 6 more points than last time despite it's 10 place drop.

The American fantasy horror series began life in 2005, and loyal viewers have had to endure it ever since. Starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles as the Winchester brothers, the series follows them as they hunt demons, ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural beings in the world (it's sounding like a bit of a rip off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

Having originally been planned for three seasons, this was extended to five which resulted in the conclusion of the main storyline. Ending a show properly...good stuff. Lost did this wonderfully of course. But oh no...with a change of showrunners, Supernatural returned and will see an eleventh season begin this coming October.

Think this finished second or third on my list. I bought the seventh season yesterday and I'm now off to watch it. Bye.

 

[Hooray]

I didn't make any comments when I submitted my list

92. House
Points: 29 | Lists: 2 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: 147th | 2011 Position: 35th
Seasons: 8 | Episodes: 177
​

House finished as highly as 35th back in 2011, whilst it was coming to the end of its run. Clearly it was quite easily forgotten. it makes a reappearance in the Top 100 this time round though, picking up 29 points from two lists.

House (aka House M.D.) is an American medical drama starring Hugh Laurie as Dr. Gregory House, a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

House often clashes with his fellow physicians, because many of his hypotheses about patients' illnesses are base don subtle or controversial insights.

Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most watched tv program in the world in 2008.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Only Connect was quite high on my list, the first of those comments was mine. Good to see that it made the top 100.

 

[HarvSFC]

Supernatural was 11th on my list, purely for the first five series'. Heroes is going to finish higher and that only had one good series.

 

[Rammy]

How Heroes has re-entered the Top 100 I do not know. Anyway, two more coming in a bit. Just got back in, so after I've done a couple of things, I'll get the next one up!

91. The Office (USA)
Points: 29 | Lists: 3 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: 72nd | 2011 Position: 60th
Seasons: 9 | Episodes: 201​

It's another fall in position for the American version of The Office. Most British shows that are remade for the American audience tend to flop spectacularly, but not this one. Starring Steve Carell, this comedy series received mixed reviews in its first season using many of the storylines from the original. The second season saw the show become its own thing, and this is when it really began to take off.

Reaching a peak average audience of 9m viewers in season 5, the show then began to quickly lose its audience. Ratings lowered significantly after Steve Carell's departure at the end of season 7.

 

[Hooray]

So pleased several of my choices, which I didn't necessarily expect to be in the top 100, are yet to be announced

90. Fringe
Points: 29 | Lists: 4 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: 67th | 2011 Position: 171st
Seasons: 5 | Episodes: 100

Good TV show in between the first series 'monster of the week episodes' and the disappointing last series. Olivia Dumb Ham.​

Fringe is a sci-fi series created by the messiah of television...J.J. Abrams. The series was backed remarkably by Fox, despite its poor ratings after the first couple of seasons. The broadcaster tend to be pretty trigger happy, but with only a cult following in the last three seasons it continued to back the show, and allow it to reach its natural conclusion.

The series follows Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv who really needs another tv show please!), Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson), and Walter Bishop (John Noble), all members of the fictional Fringe Division of the FBI. The team uses fringe science and FBI investigative techniques to investigate a series of unexplained, often ghastly occurrences, which are related to mysteries surrounding a parallel universe.

Fringe began life as a mystery of the week series, before becoming more serialised in later seasons.

 

[HarvSFC]

I had Fringe in 14th place. It's fairly good.

Was 12th on mine. Loved it, after the first season!

 

[Oaf]

I do really like Fringe, but I've somehow still never got around to finishing it off. I've got like 1 series to go and it's been that way for a while now...

 

[Craig]

It's poo.

 

[mistermagic]

Rammy is lazy...

 

[Posh Hammer]

For some reason I don't get any notifications for this, so I keep missing the latest entries.

 

[blade1889]

Thought House would have done better, got Netflix about 9months back and its ruined my life. Just 15/177 episodes left :'( and the first of mine in the top 100

 

[mowgli]

For some reason I don't get any notifications for this, so I keep missing the latest entries.

Same as that, so annoying.

 

[Murphy]

The last few entries are beginning to feel like a run down of series' Sky1 used to show in the evenings on weekdays.

Expecting the 4400 to crop up next.

89. Brass Eye
Points: 29 | Lists: 4 | Number One's: 0 | 2013 Position: 43rd | 2011 Position: 25th
Seasons: 1 | Episodes: 7

Totally irreverent but equally hilarious. It didn't care who it offended and it produced some of the best satire ever.​

Brass Eye holds on to its place in the Top 100, but falls dramtically down the list. The show is a surreal UK series parodying the current affaird style programming of the mid 90's. A series of six episodes were aired in 1997, with a further episode in 2001.

The series starred and was created by Chris Morris. It was intended as a sequel to Morris' earlier spoof programmes 'On The Hour' and 'The Day Today'.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Brass Eye just sneaked onto the end of my list, just brilliant satire.

Edit: Forget that, wrong show.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

It had a mid-table finish on my list. I was a bit too young for when it first came out but after watching a clip of it I had to buy it. Probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Paedogeddon was simply genius and although probably isn't the highlight, is one of the most (in)famous episodes of any comedy show ever.

88. I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! *
Points: 29 | Lists: 3 | Number One's: 1 | 2013 Position: N/A | 2011 Position: N/A
Seasons: 14 | Episodes: 155
​

Often shortened as just I'm a Celebrity, this show is someones favourite of all time. Let that sink in for a second.

The British reality show began in 2002, and has been hosted by Ant & Dec throughout its run. Set in the Australian jungle, celebrities must live in the camp with few creature comforts. For a period of around a week, a celebrity will be voted by the general public on a daily basis to take part in a 'Bush Tucker Trial'. Taking in a range of undesireable challenges, the celebrity must collect stars, which equal one meal for camp. After this first week, the celebrities choose themselves who will go on the trials, as the general public begin voting on who to leave the jungle.

The show is contracted up to 2017, taking it to at least a 17th series. It's 13th series was the most watched in its 13 year history.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

What is wrong with people?

 

[Alty]

What is wrong with people?

I'm pretty sure at least one person has submitted a spoof list.

 

[Hooray]

Name and shame time, I think.

 

[JJH]

I'll admit to it.

I'll be honest - I watch very little TV, but this is one show that I watch every episode of each series.

It's great - I absolutely love it, although admittedly, I do prefer the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here Now show afterwards, as I really don't mind staring at Laura Whitmore for an hour.

 

[BCFC Jordan]

Celebrity's alright because of Ant and Dec but I reckon the aftershow is complete shite.
