      Surprised Arrested Development is so low on that top 100 list. The first 2 seasons are some of the funniest TV ever created, imo. Gob is one of my favourite characters ever (I’ve made a huge mistake).
      Yeah I agree with this. They first few episodes weren’t great at all and if no one watched beyond then I understand the comparison. But it really took off after that. I suppose if you’re partial to British humour then one will gravitate to the UK version.

        And its *!*!*!*!ing diabolical that The Boys didn't make top 10 let alone top 100. It's nuts.

        And wheres Justified. Im sure GVGjr agrees.

I quite like the cringey 'close to home' awkwardness of the British version, but also love the US version for the different direction they took it in. Much more character building stuff and genuine, quality ha-ha stuff.
          Agree. The cringey, awkward British humour grows old on me real fast. Becomes repetitive.

            I'm watching re-runs again. There is something about bad guys being shot that appeals to me with no footy to watch

                Yeah I watched it again last month and its still magic. Such great casting of all characters.

                  Good call on The Boys, pure entertainment.
                  Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                    What was the best season? For me it was season two.

                      Season 3 for me, Quarles was a great 'villian' and his ending was pretty spectacular.

                        I'd have Mr Inbetween in my top 10 too.

                          I liked it but I didn't think it was that good. The Shield was a fantastic series. NYPD Blue was right up there as well.

                            Another two great series.

                              The last season was one of the best landings from a show ever. Years of buildup paid off. Amazing.

                                Justified is a criminal omission from that list, for sure.
