New battle - American TV shows

[Uncle Leo]

BEFORE WE START THOUGH......

Shall we make it all American TV shows, or just dramas?

Quick poll, which I'll keep up for just a day.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Just dramas, or Pubey will plump for his idol Ricki Lake :nope:

...and we've done sitcoms.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Yes dramas sounds good especially as there are so many good ones from across the pond.

 

[Napster]

dramas please.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I suspected dramas would get the vote, but just wanted to check.

Much as I'd love to play, I'll stay neutral on this one so I can settle any tiebreakers if needed.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Reckon we can easily get to 32, though unless balls are warmed I don't think we need a crystal ball to know the final 2.

Fox keeps me routed to NCIS most nights :)

Another thought - would M*A*S*H qualify? A comedy of course, but pretty dramatic too. IMDB categorises it under both (and 'war').

porn stars for me please with pictures.

Are we counting series? If so I'll have The Wire - I win. Next.

Not on my watch soldier.

I suggest if comedies involve a fair amount of drama (M*A*S*H or Nurse Jackie for example then yes, but if it's an out and out comedy (Friends/Frasier) **BAD CRICKO**, then no.

No shock there then Paul :dim:

Agreed. I'll be the final arbiter on that one but will use IMDB as a pointer.

Nominations to open tomorrow once this poll has expired.

It's a struggle to think outside of the last few years. TV really took second place to movies just a few years ago, now thanks to HBO & Fox (spit), that's just not the case.

Roots
NYPD Blue
ER
St Elsewhere

Not saying any of them would beat The Wire, but all worthy of consideration.
