The Mofo Top 100 Television Shows

Thank you, No. 2.

I haven't seen "The Donna Reed Show" in years, but as I recall, it was a pretty good show.

I think a lot of the old classics may end up missing out on this list, even though they deserve to be on it. It's hard to compete with the newer shows that are fresh in people's minds.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I've had my thread setting inverted for years, so I forget sometimes it's not like that for everyone. I fixed it now and changed my thread setting for the duration of the tv list so I don't have to remember to put the numbers so that they look backwards to me. It's actually really hard to get used to. I'm very comfortable with being backwards.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven't seen all the shows that made the list so some may have better tidbits than others, but I'll try to find something interesting about each show.

Just a suggestion. For any shows that you haven't seen, you may want to ask the people who included it on their lists. If they like the show that much, they may be able to help you with the trivia.

Also, IMDB and Wikipedia are usually pretty good for trivia.

Yes, it was you Jiraffe and Sarah that voted for it.

Yeah, but then they know it made the list. I'm pretty good at researching things. I'll find something to include, it just may not be as in depth as a show that I'm really familiar with.

On another note, I'm really surprised at p'oed that 101 didn't make it. I'm not going to let those cats out of the bag yet, but there were some surprising near misses. I'll be adding those to the second post either after the list is done or before the top ten.

It is Jeffrey Tambor. He is hilarious in the show. And The Larry Sanders Show actually isn't a late night talk show, it's an HBO sitcom that is based around a fictional late night talk show. One of my favorite shows of all time and I'm happy that someone besides me voted for it. It deserves to be on the list.

I didn't know Jeffrey Tambor was in Max Headroom. I've only seen a couple of episodes and I don't remember much of it.

I watch David Letterman almost every night, but I used to pull tendons from reaching for the remote so fast when the Worldwide Pants logo flashed on the screen and Ferguson's show followed. I thought Ferguson was obnoxious, annoying, unfunny and a terrible interviewer. Then I came home drunk one night and didn't bother turning the channel, and I actually found myself somewhat amused by his antics. Since then I watch his show on occasion, usually while I'm surfing these forums late at night. Geoff the gay skeleton robot is hilarious. To be honest, I wish he was the host instead of Ferguson, but the latter's don't-give-a-f**k approach and improvisational style provide a lot of amusement and fun. I wish I had given the show more of a chance early on since it will soon be coming to an end.

I've seen bits and pieces of The Larry Sanders Show. It seems like something I might like.

He played Murray.


Matt Frewer (Edison Carter/Max Headroom), Amanda Pays (Theora Jones), Jeffrey Tambor (Murray McKenzie)

As Wiki puts it, "Edison Carter's high-strung producer."

But I don't need any of that to make the last post on top. I just change it in my edit options.

I forgot to add that Sarah won tickets to the last Ferguson show. She had to write why she was a big fan and should go to the finale and hers was deemed good enough to be chosen for two tickets.

Jealous. So jealous.

Great we've started! Been looking forward to this

Apparently this is one, like Blackadder, that imdb has split into different 'versions'. I didn't realise that when I made my list though.


Never Mind the Buzzcocks got one point from me. It's gone off the boil a bit since they started getting guest presenters, but it used to be really good.

I've never watched either of those first two on the countdown.

I have seen neither show and Agents of SHIELD was my one pointer.

Really good to see Ferguson's show here. I don't watch regularly so I didn't vote for it, but I count myself a fan. Completely fresh and unique among the stale talk show format. Shame he's leaving and being replaced by the utterly unfunny James Corden. It's a step backwards.

His laid-back, truly conversational and entertaining style is exemplified by his interviews with Ewan McGregor, IMO.

98. Dragon Ball Z 1996 - 2003

Dragon B Z picks up where Dragon Ball left off and is based off the last 325 chapters of the manga. Decapitations and spine-severings abound as Goku and his gang defend the Earth from various villains.

Let's get rich moment Dragon Ball Z was a merchandising powerhouse. You could literally dress from head to toe in Dragon Ball Z apparel while playing with the action figures.

Legacy The "It's Over 9000!" meme is apparently the most used meme in internet history. I personally had never seen the meme before researching the show, but the internet told me so it must be true.

Points 44 placed 3rd, 14th & 17th


Don't worry. You still get two today, but I'm doing one now and one at night.
