[madra sneachta]

UK Trade Magazine "Broadcast" has published the results of a poll naming the best and worst TV programmes imported from the US to be broadcast in the UK

 

The results make interesting reading -

 

 

Best 10

 

1. The Simpsons

2. Dallas

3. M*A*S*H

4. 24

5. The Larry Sanders Show

6. Hill Street Blues

7. The X-Files

8. I Love Lucy

9. Twin Peaks

10. Star Trek/The Next Generation

 

Worst 10

 

1. Baywatch

2. The Anna Nicole Show

3. The Dukes Of Hazzard

4. Wild Palms

5. Manimal

6. The Jerry Springer Show

7. Knots Landing

8. Falcon Crest

9. The Bold and the Beautiful

10. Extreme Makeover

 

 

I'm surprised The Sopranos and Six Feet Under are missing from the "Best" list. My own personal favourite would be Oz, but it would be unrealistic to see it included. Dukes of Hazzard at No. 3 in the 'worst' category surprises me a bit.

Where's 'Moonlighting'...of Bruce Willis fame?? Missing from the worst list. Now this was really sh*te.

 

The Jerry Springer show is great! And where's Different Strokes'...that was cool too....and 'Wait 'til Your Father Gets Home'....I could go on forever.

I'm surprised Seinfeld didn't make the best list...as far as worst list I don't disagree with any of those shows though i have to say Pukes of Hazzard belongs at the top...God I hated that show with a passion!!!

What is Dallas doing there? One of the best????

 

And where's Buffy? Where's Sant Elsewhere? Where's Dead Like Me?

 

At least the A-Team and Knightrider aren't there.
