ultimate showdown. ultimate battle. cartoons, comedies, dramas, epics...all of it....12 choices...im curious to what AP thinks is the best show on TV now...

im sorry if i didnt include your favorite show...these choices I based on popularity amongst "youths", popularity amongst these forums, and overall most discussed.


these are shows that are still on....so on freaks and geeks, boy meets world, arrested development (I know ap kids cream about this show)...but ya good luck.

*note: obviously if this has been done to death i appologize.

Kind of hard when you lump all different kinds of shows together, but.. I picked 24.

you should do it by genre.

1. LOST
2. How I Met Your Mother
3. Entourage
4. 30 Rock
5. It's Always Sunny

also The Twilight Zone

I voted for other (How I Met Your Mother) earlier but just watched Lost: Destiny Calls and the two-hour premiere on DVR and would vote differently at this point. Basically what I'm getting at is, had this poll been a couple weeks ago before the premiere of LOST I think the results would be quite different.

Was that sarcasm?

In my opinion a show based on the classic hollywood dream is far from "unique". Especially when compared to a show about a plane that crashes on an island and everyone survives and then polar bears and living clouds of smoke terrorize them (LOST)

I voted for other.

Lost has been done before many many times. it shares similarities with The Twilight Zone, Land of the Lost, Gilligan's Island, hell even Survivor, just to name a few

i can't think of any other show i've seen that lets the viewer in on the inner workings and business deals of Hollywood like Entourage does. that is why i think it's unique. and it's a simply a fun show to watch every Sunday.

My vote is for a English show "extras" .... Hands down the the funniest thing I have seen and I have only seen two episodes. It has the guy from the original office. The only I don't like is they have such thick accents..... I reccomend checking out clips on YouTube.....

Otherwise my vote is for entourage ( just leave out the train wreck that is season 4)

Michael Scott rules your face forever but Entourage is an extremely close silver medal winner. like REALLY close. Like I watched every single episode in one day with my friends because I'd never seen it before close. lol

and Lost sucks. Jeff Anderson had it right in Zack and Miri Make a Porno: "Dude, they're on the island, they're off the island. Who could follow that shit?"

SunnyInPhilly
01/30/09, 10:58 PM
It's Always Sunny by a mile


After that I'd say Prison Break. I used to like Lost but it's fallen off alot IMO. Don't really like the direction they took the show with the islands mystical powers and time traveling. The season premiere this year lost my interest for good (no pun intended).

Note: Just thought it's worth mentioning that 2 of the top 3 shows in this poll take place in PA. Representin the Keystone state.

To answer that question. A ton of people could, and do follow "that shit", judging by the enormous amount of viewers and the results in this poll.

Mainly because this poll is in reference to shows on now, I think.

I actually re-watched the whole series last summer, it is an absolutely brilliant show, at least for the first 3/4 or so of its run. It just isn't as great anymore.

And to say the show isnt as great anymore is TRUE, but to the simple extent that it cant live to the expectations of the first 12 seasons (aka first 3/4). The show still has its share of awesomely funny episodes....Mr Burns Owns a Basketball Team was a great episode this season.

I should rephrase, I just meant that these shows are judged (in this poll, specifically) by their current status... recent seasons.

That is how I took "im curious to what AP thinks is the best show on TV now"
