No, I've never heard of io9 either.

Tick and Max Headroom in the top 20?

The Twilight Zone out of the top 10?

No Batman (70's with Adam West)?

And the biggest clue this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, no Outer Limits?

At least he has Lost in the top 10.

The old Outer Limits is in there someplace.

Apparently they're obliged to keep everything animated out of the top 10.

io9's rubbish for anything other than news or spoilers. All their opinion pieces are garbage.

I was in favor of most of the top20, even if not in that order.

One I saw that B5 was above BSG, I knew that the site would never be agreeable with Brend. :P

I've not even looked at the list.

Though I've no problem with people putting Babylon 5 at/near the top of any such list.

As much as I like it, I can't see Lost ever making my top ten. Is Blake's 7 on there? Ultraviolet? Futurama?

Actually [composite word including 'f*ck'] it. Don't care. Don't need the wankers at that site telling me what I should/shouldn't think is good.

No, that's what you need the wankers at this site for.

I've only looked at about 4 of their articles, but none of them struck me as being of the "this is what you should think of this" rather than "this is what I think of this"

Although, the clips from Doctor Who pledging article have made me wonder if the pledging scene from RoboCop 2 is as overexagerated as I'd thought it had been.

Well, they got the right shows in sort-of the right order. I'd have bumped DS9 and BSG a bit higher, but the top two spots were never really in doubt. No idea about Max Headroom, though, I don't think I ever saw it.

Star Trek isn't that good though is it?

Paved a way for a lot of things, yes. Better than all that came after it though? Not a garfield in hecks chance.

I got as far as reading the claim Torchwood nicked the five day mini series format from Dead Set, rather than the Five Days thing the previous year... [Not to mention Dead Set's ten minuet episode format wasn't remotely like what Torchwood used. Fools.

EDIT: Alright, I gave it a try and have now got as far as them using a picute from the Alien Nation film-with-a-different-cast to represent the TV show. Fools.

Right. Finally skimmed it. They found room for Transformers, MotU and Thundercats, but unless I'm missing something they skipped out on Wonderfalls.

[composite word including 'f*ck'] them.

Thought the notion that the G1 cartoon is worse than Smallville is something I can get behind.

No Beast Wars either, actually.
