VEGGIE GAMER

First off, LOVE seeing Detectives on the list! It is so underrated!! It most definitely won't win, but it is good to see it here at least! :) Voting Rising Damp and Rhod Gilbert's Work Exprience again as well!

John

Would make so much more sense to just make a day for all the polls when we get multiple like this. Please change it. Its ridiculous doing it this way

Samuel West

Would love to see Steptoe and Son win the poll especially after watching you re act to only fools and horses but if I'm looking forward to your next reaction regardless. Hopefully down the line if Steptoe doesn't do it well get a reaction of it.

Jake Francis

John are you on the spectrum bro? First you can't handle spreadsheets and now 3 polls, poor fella must be hard done by being chronically online

John

Who said I can't handle spreadsheets? 🤣 You're a real gem huh..

Nell Sun

The Detectives was indeed a great series. I'd imagine it stands up, even today. And probably far more relatable to Josh than something as dated as Steptoe and Son. All in all, slim pickings..

Jake Francis

See my other reply to other comment

Craig

Still fighting the good Still Game cause, we're getting nearer folks 🤞 all the non-Scottish patreons will hopefully realise what they've been overlooking some day 🤣

John

Nah I'm good. I'm gonna just ignore you from now on. Don't have time for your bs

Michael

Ted Lasso is such a wonderful heartwarming show, need it to make it soon 🙏

Z is for Zed

Plenty of non-Scottish people like it when they can understand what is being said, but it seems to take some a while (especially the Americans).

Craig

Yeah it's such a shame it was only broadcast on BBC Scotland when it first started because it's up there with OFAH for me

BigChanChan

I hated it and King Boomer hated it too when he tried it so it's not for everyone!

BigChanChan

I don't know what's so difficult about different polls on different days... Talk about 1st world problems 🙄

Richard M

Oh god a series my nan used to watch is going to win.

Charlie

Sorry, why would someone being on the spectrum make it difficult for them to understand spreadsheets?

Sean

Yeah the audience here is definitely around that age. Not knocking them, a poll is a poll, but would like to see more contemporary stuff here (at least from this millenium). On one hand I think its great that these old sitcoms are being kept alive this way, but personally I have no interest. I cant imagine they help grow this community either in the same way a Ted Lasso might.

James Ellison

Do you all really think that Josh would prefer Keeping Up Appearances over a lot of alternatives such as Coupling, The Detectives, Plebs, Him and Her? Something a bit more modern, relatable and fun. Don’t get me wrong KUA is by no means a bad show but it’s still the kind of safe show your nan watches, it’s all just very tame. It’s almost on a level with Last Of The Summer Wine, certainly not one that comes to mind when recommending to an American as one of our very best. I honestly don’t know anyone under 60 who watches or has ever mentioned liking it. I really don’t mean to come across a jerk about it, people who voted for it and win is totally fair enough. It’s more of a question is it going to be to Josh’s taste is why I’m asking, i’d just be surprised if it is. I hope so otherwise he’s in for a few boring months of reacting to it.

Charlie

I don't think Keeping Up Appearances is tame, really. Roy Clarke basically wrote sitcoms that on the surface seemed safe and gentle and quite twee because of the settings, but Keeping Up Appearances is much sharper than it initially seems and actually quite dark in places, full of infidelity and abusive relationships and characters in the throes of existential crises; it was explicitly stated in several episodes that one of her sisters was suicidal, her father clearly has quite severe dementia, etc. It's not an especially comfortable watch, it's actually really bleak a lot of the time. See also Last Of The Summer Wine (although I don't really rate that) or Open All Hours, which are both quite melancholy and tragic depictions of a world gone by.

Richard M

Oh I don't mind old stuff winning, it's just Keeping Up Appearances, it's just so tame.

Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience one day 🙏

BigChanChan

I've noticed that the safer, generic and more well known shows have been winning or getting higher votes lately.

John

It's not that it's difficult having them on different days mate. It's the fact that on a poll day we have to wait a week until the first episode of the show. Which is fine in theory but when we have 4 new shows in one week it means you're getting 2 shows that week instead of 6. If we lump the polls together we could get it over with in one day and not miss out on nearly a week's work of content

John

My guess is Jake is just a bit of a knob lol. He likes the argument clearly. He's probably miserable. Don't hold it against him. I know I don't

Father Spodo Komodo

Summer Heights High for a future poll, if you have trouble accessing it I'll stop asking

James Ellison

One of my favourite shows easily, as with most shows the earliest episodes aren’t the strongest, you’ve got to give it a little time to get to know all the characters really, like the best shows this also gets better and better as it goes. I do think some people judge it by the first few episodes and drop off too soon. It’s a shame because it really is fantastic with some truly memorable characters. It’s not afraid to be vulgar at times or use bad language, which i love, especially as most of the characters are pensioners.

John

Angry boys is still funnier

Jake Francis

Damn, only took you 24 hours to un-ignore me, quick work! Idk Charlie, John tends to hang around these polls, so he's got a lot of opinions and knows what's best for someone else's channel I guess. Kinda weird.

Nell Sun

That is a very crazy funny show!!

Thomas McDonald

What Charlie said. ☝️I haven't seen it in a few years, but I do remember it being "deceptively safe." Like Thin Blue Line, which looks really light on the surface, but the first episode ends with the wholesome "life is worth living" moment being slapped down by revealing that the desperate man we'd been following all episode had killed himself immediately after we'd cut away from the wholesome moment. It presents itself as twee and wholesome, while doing some really surprisingly cutting, dark comedy. It's not really underrated, because it's still really popular decades later, but it is underestimated.
