Seriously, we need a rule about it. Just FIFA/PES/Football Manager. Voting by the year means that none of them would get a high place.

PS2 is near it by SNES was fecking great
Think thats unfair too though, PES5 is standalone brilliance.
It's a work in progress but so far I've got Crysis 2, Bioshock 2 and 13 FIFA games.
I did, but as yet, I've only seen season 1 of The Wire.
I've got Deathwish 4 and Battledome 9 in my top 5.
It is my favorite football game by a country mile, but I guess it is better to go only with PES rather than divide votes by the version. Ultimatelly they would either get only a lower place, or not be on the list alone.
Add Deus Ex: The Invisible War there.
Ted should be no. 1. Fact!
Yep. I love it. I could watch Raylan and Boyd all day. Put it in mine list at #9.
No sports games. Simples.
Take your game chat into the game thread, it's up and running!
Is it cheating to include The Orange Box?? Cos surely that > everything.
What about Kickyball 08?
Wii sports should be top 3 at least.
Well my 15 years of Championship/Football Manager have all been for nothing then.
Is it cheating to include The Orange Box?? Cos surely that > everything.
Of course it is.
Anyway, Final Fantasy set box will still wipe the floor with it (if we go by game collections).
Take this video game talk to another thread!
Incredibly disappointing, but that's democracy for you. Unless I missed it, I can't believe Justified didn't make the list.
Breaking Bad had half the number 1 votes that The Wire had, which makes me wonder if a number of people just haven't seen The Wire (resulting in it not making several lists,) whereas everyone has seen Breaking Bad.
What a load of bollocks. GoT 5? BB 1?
You all suck ass.
You all suck ass.
what is this I don't even
y'all should be ashamed of yourself
y'all should be ashamed of yourself
Breaking Bad is a tremendous, Here's what Sir Anthony Hopkins said in an open letter to Bryan Cranston....
2 or possibly 3 of those games will make my list.
Jesus everything is overrated for you. Also what age are you? 19?
You didn't live through the snes days
I didn't live through the SNES days either but the first console I had was a NES, followed shortly by the SNES, and I must say, they were freaking awesome.
I'm wumming Revan. Let's be friends Randall.
Never
Come on, it will be easy. You just have to change all the things about you that I don't like.
yes revan, i'll cry, over something on an internet forum.
anyway, BB has a far higher viewer base than The Wire and also only finished airing a couple of months ago.
The Sopranos in 4th is disappointing. In much the same way The Simpsons led the way in it's field for animated comedy, The Sopranos did for tv drama.
It was in more lists, but number 1 only half as much as The Wire. Perhaps we need to change the voting system. 8 people voting for Breaking Bad at number 6 beat 5 voting for The Wire at number 1.

Revan - you'll hate me, but I'm one of those people who's seen (some of) The Wire and didn't include it in my list. I imagine I would have if I had ever got back round to it and finished it mind.
Could appreciate what I watched of it and why people think it's great - but it didn't keep my interest. It wasn't really so much a fault with the show; it just didn't seem to have any particularly interesting characters which is the biggest pull for me.
So yeah, I didn't vote for it - so what? Come at me,bro.
The issue with these lists is that some people are voting for what they think is the greatest, and others what is their favourite. They're not the same for whoever said it was earlier in the thread.
You'll realise what I mean when I do my games list - as I'm probably going to put my favourite game at number 1. I'd never tell people it was the greatest game ever though.

I agree.
The dialogue is incredible. Tony Soprano as a character is the best I've seen in tv/film easily.
It has great depth to it. I fecking hated literature at school - sometimes the curtain is blue because the curtain is fecking blue and that's it. But Sopranos was just superb - I imagine that there are some things in it that are considered 'classic symbolism' in there that wasn't intended mind.

Number 1 Votes: 10
Why Is It Here:
Caf Members who voted for this show are asked to submit a short paragraph on why they selected it for their lists.
Yesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff Duffy.
This thread has been great for building my list to watch. As shown by my list I've watched very few shows. I'd start with The Wire and The Sopranos and work down the list from there.
Thanks for the effort again, Duffy!
Thanks for the effort again, Duffy!
Yeah, nice one Duffy for all the effort mate.
Game of Thrones... seriously? It's good, and sometimes very good, but it has issues, not least with pacing, character development and the writing not being tight enough. Despite its near flawless production values (let's pretend that the House of the Undying didn't happen), it's not in the pantheon of 'great' shows as this list would suggest. That it's ahead of Mad Men is just wrong(!)
I voted for it and shouldn't have. I watch it but I've never loved it. Mea culpa.
It's hard to find a show that doesn't have some of those issues. I'll take GOT over Mad Men any day (I think Mad Men shouldn't be in the top 10...)
Do not like how it turned out. 10/10 for @Duffy 's effort though.
Can you please list the top 50 in the OP, mate.
Can you please list the top 50 in the OP, mate.
Will do when I get a chance later on mate.
Cheers for all the positive feedback again.

Current and popular TV shows will always be overrated in lists like this. It's unavoidable, but hardly a bad thing as it just indicates which contemporary TV shows are most loved. If you want an objective top 50 TV show list, well, good luck.
