Talked to two people off site and we all agree i should do the same sort of thing except with tv shows this time. If you agree send me your top ten, if you disagree then who is even asking you buddy?

Private Message me or leave it in my public Profile Comments like last time if you wish.

Sorry mate, hope you forgive me was being irrational as usual.

Sean is going to send me a list, hopefully people send me their lists and i don't need to personally message everyone on the site like last time.

Why do your countdowns involve ten picks instead of the standard twenty-five? The final list being shorter than expected would be a by-product of that, so I question your concern.

Why do your countdowns involve ten picks instead of the standard twenty-five? The final list being shorter than expected would be a by-product of that, so I question your concern.

It's easier first of all. Then, it's making people pick their favourites from a smaller amount; there's a good chance say The Sopranos would appear alot in the last five places on peoples lists regardless of what they think of it, building it's overall amount of points. Think i'm going to accept lists from whoever and it's better that they have a small amount of places to fill, personally i think that's better than having a standard list coz Breaking Bad is somewhere on everyones top 25. Like, i'm not saying this is better it's just something a bit different.

It's supposed to be a quick thing like the last one.

What do you think?

Camo
08-20-17, 12:15 AM
I constantly said it's better then said it's not as if i'm saying it's better. Hope you know i've just realized that and what i actually meant was that it's not supposed to be some replacement for the usual Countdown. It's supposed to be a once in a while thing. Like fck it if i get something wrong, it's supposed to be a one night fun thing.

Correction, it's 11 lists so far. One PM was clarifying stuff about the countdown and i thought it was a list before opening it.

Camo
08-27-17, 10:17 AM
Someone specified the original Twin Peaks. For the record i'm going to count that and The Return as the one show so there's no need to separate them. Only pointing this out in case someone votes for both of them.

Camo
08-27-17, 10:28 AM
BTW, i'm going to count Blackadder as the one show too. I know Godoggo didn't last time but i think it should, i wouldn't ask someone to specify which American Horror Story season or whatever so i don't think i should with Blackadder. Someone will need to resend their list but i'm sure they'll be happy to have extra spots.

Camo
08-27-17, 11:22 AM
Someone specified the classic Doctor Who, again i'm not counting them as separate so just Doctor Who is fine.

Camo
08-27-17, 11:43 AM
Remember there's a British and American House of Cards if you're voting for one. One person didn't specify which, i don't actually need them to because i know which one this person would have voted for but that won't always be the case.

Camo
08-27-17, 11:54 AM
That's me finished compiling. 12/50 have qualified and a bunch only need one vote. Great start guys :up:

Keep sending lists, will probably start directly asking for them tomorrow.

Cynema De Bergerac
08-28-17, 06:01 AM
'Twin Peaks', and other shows like 'The Sopranos', 'The Twilight Zone', and 'Doctor Who' will definitely rank high up on the list. But I'm choosing the safe route and predicting 'Breaking Bad' for the 'win.' Even though 'Game of Thrones' is definitely a major contender for that top spot considering It's overwhelming hot streak of popularity over the past few years.

Nah actually, just checked and after 16 lists we were at 23/50. Still there's loads needing just one vote so it's entirely possible that one list could qualify around five.

I am doing the various pointers again so you'll see it. You never know though, since you had it at #1 if someone has it anywhere on their list it will make the countdown. It's also something i've heard of so i wouldn't think it would be that unlikely that there's another fan here.

Aw poop, looks like I might have to enlist the latest troll with their multiple accounts to push the morning slot into the lead and make Camo get up early :D

4am doesn't sound too early to me any more because that's the time I have to get up for work. Sleeping in on a day off for me is like 6, 6:30. Night owls tend to find that horrifying haha.

If this is happening today, I probably won't be home from work until about 7:00 p.m. my time, which I believe is 3:00 a.m. your time, so it really doesn't matter. I'll probably have to just give it a look after it's all been done.

Camo said it wouldn't be today but tomorrow so you may still be able to see events unfold.

Ah, I missed that. I'll be home most of the day tomorrow, but I have dinner plans which will probably be at about 5:30 Pacific time.

If I go to bed later than 2 A.M. (Central European Timezone) I'm a ****ing idiot, so can't be later than that I'm afraid.

Looks like it will be sometime between 6-8 PM GMT. So that's what 8-10 PM Central European Time? Will most likely be finished before Midnight your time.

Going to try and start the Countdown at 7PM GMT which is about four hours from now since that was a good time for most. No guarantees yet but whenever i do i'll give everyone a mention anyway.

You should do it from 7PM GMT, because of them Americans. Europeans should be fine too.

Yeah, that's what i said. The reason i said no guarantees is i can't be sure something won't come up yet.

Camo

Oh yeah, sorry for the confusion guys. I meant 7PM BST. My phone is on GMT and that's what i usually look at for the time, my Laptop is on BST which i forgot about so i got the times mixed up. 7PM BST tonight, around three hours now.

Thanks to Chyp for pointing that out :up:

Camo

Used the mentions from the Actors Countdown as a start in preparing the ones for this. This had 31 in common with the Actors Countdown. Which means 12 new lists :up:, and 22 didn't send one for this :furious: Just imagine the 65 list Countdowns for both of these:

Any more guesses for how many lists the winner was on and how many points it got? Or is it going to become a tradition that Chypmunk is the only one that guesses? :D

My grossly incorrect guess is that the top show is going to be on about 20 lists with 136 points.

Camo

The winner of the Actors Countdown was on 12 Lists and had 87 Points and that was from 9 more lists for the record. Maybe that's a good indicator maybe it's a red herring; what are you asking me for?

17 Lists and 109 Points.
