This is the next entry in the Steemit's Favorite series, following Steemit's Favorite Movies!. It's pretty simple, this is a good old fashioned popularity poll.
How to participate
All you need to do is write a comment with your Top 10 TV shows of all time. It can be fiction or documentary, mini-series or sitcoms. Anything, really. No films though.
You could submit a minimum of 5 picks or a maximum of 50, ranked or unranked, but 10 is recommended. Please mention whether your list is ranked or unranked.
100% of all liquid rewards earned from this post will be equally distributed to all commenters. Participation rewards!
The Process
Comments will be tallied for the next 48 hours till 23rd Mar 12 PM UTC. The top TV shows list will then be announced on 24th Mar. It could be a Top 5, 10 or a Top 50 - just depends on how many samples we get. For example, for the Movies list there were enough samples only for a Top 7. Let's hope for more participation this time!
For unranked lists, each entry will receive a weight of 1 up to 10 entries. Beyond that, each entry will be diluted - each user will only have 10 points. This is why a Top 10 is recommended. Ranked lists will be weighted accordingly so the first entry is 10x the last entry. E.g. for a top 10, #1 will be 2; #5 will be 1 and #10 will be 0.2.
Feel free to DM me on Steemit.chat if you would like your entry to be anonymous.
There you go! Comment your list away!
PS: I powered up 100% by mistake. Silly me. Not to worry, I'll buy some Steem for distributing participation rewards.

Yes, that's it. Those are the ones that come to mind now, most of the others might well have been garbage. I watched Dad's Army again recently on YouTube and found it just as entertaining, but whenever I see a clip of Morecambe and Wise, I cringe with embarrassment for having once found it hilarious. Poor Eric.

A lot of 70s TV was terrible. Lots of racist, sexist nonsense, but a few gems. I was struggling to remember what I loved back then

I like both but that vangelis track and Carl's careful and slow word pronounciation is unbeatable.

Yes, it's fantastic. The animations look very dated though, as you'd expect! There's also some stuff missing about dark matter, genomics etc; we have learned a lot since the 80s.

I mean Louie and Louie FX. I thought you were right at first but then I remembered about Lucky Louie which I haven't seen all the episodes. Louie and Louie FX are two different shows by Louis CK.
I agree I don't expect many French Canadian to pick up on my list but I don't watch series so I didn't had any other answers and some day data mining is going to pick up on those and make sense of all that has been said on Steem.
