Am I looking at something wrong or is it something that has 26 seasons and started in the 80s?
It's fecking amazing Mobes. Seriously underrated. I watch at least one random season of it every year so It's always on my mind.

Thank you everybody who voted for The Shield. You are clearly well educated.

Easy groupings, rest of the shows are shite with the exception of Chernobyl. But don't think you can add such a short show against the other 3 titans.

Better Call Snore can go in the bin.

These Star Trek nerds need flushed
The IT Crowd already made a better version



Better Call Saul is not doing as well as I expected so far! It's probably in second place, but third place can't be far behind.

So have is it scored when people vote for only 1-4 options? If they vote for let's say 2 options, those are awarded 2 and 1 points? Because awarding 5 and 4 and 0 for the others wouldn't be very fair.

Has to be done this way I reckon. The rules are the same for each show so technically it's the fairest system. Unless someone thinks otherwise and can suggest something better. Once I tally up one round, I will need to stick to the rules so if there's a suggestion anyone wants to give, do it before this round is over.

I think it is the least fair system. And obviously increases tactical voting.

Do it 5,4 and 3 for the rest of the 3 not named. Or 2,1,0,0,0 same thing. Or 5,4,2,2,2 might make sense also

The first list wasn't meant to be in a specific order tbf.

I mean if it is 5,4,0,0,0, then I would just change my vote to have one option in each group. From the pov of tactical voting, it would not make sense for me to name other 4 at all.

I think 5,4,3,3,3, or 5,4,2,2,2 are the only reasonable options. Latter because (3+2+1)/3=2

I knew (afterwards) - but didn‘t put them in at all. Just realised it‘s more about nostalgia with that show (x-files) with me. Just wanted to clear this up before somebody calls me an eediot.

@massi83 I didn't even consider tactical voting as this is purely for fun but I see what you're saying.

I'm leaning to averaging out the non voted shows, so in the example below, it would be:

1. The Wire 5
2. Chernobyl 4
3. X-Files 3

- Parks & Recreation 2
- Better Call Saul 2

I'll see what others suggest/if anyone has issues with that... but this is probably a good compromise.

This is

B. People's opinions about shows dear to them.

There will be tactical voting :lol:
