I left out anything done by van Kooten & De Bie, a Dutch sketch show/comedy duo who reigned supreme over Dutch television from the 1960s until the mid 90s, because well, hardly anyone would know. And darn, thinking about them reminds me; Monty Python, Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Peepshow, The Young Ones, The Daily Show, the Colbert Report, Jeeves and Wooster, Not the Nine o'Clock News....
And oh, those tattoo shows; Miami Ink, LA Ink (<3 Kat), and hell, London Ink.

So how many votes are going to be necessary for an official 'most popular tv shows other then whedon' thread.

 

[Revolver]

I haven't looked at this in a while. It was getting a lot more difficult to keep an accurate count the more shows were chosen. I think I'm just going to add it all up on Sunday, and that'll be the end. So about two more days for anyone who wants to have their say to get in there.

 

[AndrewCrossett]

I think I'm going to limit my list to just fairly recent shows, and not include any of the old-timey ones I like.

1. Xena: Warrior Princess
2. Veronica Mars
3. Lost
4. The Simpsons
5. Northern Exposure
6. Doctor Who
7. Alias
8. The X-Files
9. Spaced
10. Leverage

 

[Harm]

1. Unsolved Mysteries
2. The Nanny
3. Without a Trace
4. The Bad Girls Club
5. The Anna Nicole Show
6. The Simple Life
7. Beverly Hills 90210 😛
8. That 70's Show

That's all I can think of.

Final Results

Top 20 Buffy Boards Favorite Non-Joss Whedon Television Shows:

1. LOST
2. Friends
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. Supernatural
5. Dexter
6. Bones
6. The X-Files
8. Battlestar Gallactica
9. The Office*
9. Charmed
9. The Simpsons
12. True Blood
13. Arrested Development
13. Dr. Who
15. Scrubs
16. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
17. 24
17. Gossip Girl
19. Star Trek
20. 30 Rock
20. Family Guy

Technically, this is the top 21 shows since 30 Rock and Family Guy tied for 20th place. Overall, I think a pretty decent list. A few things I'd have changed the order on, and a few shows(Charmed, Gossip Girl, and Family Guy) would have no place on my own personal list of good shows but not bad results for the most part.

* note on The Office: A few people voted specifically for The U.S. version or U.K. version of The Office and at least one person just voted for The Office (Lemon, I think) without specifying. If there's an error in these results, it's regarding that show. Since the U.K. Office didn't get enough votes to be a serious contender in this, I added the unspecified votes to the U.S. version. We can correct this if anyone really cares to.

Finally, I'd just like to note that some people voted for more than ten shows which kind of went against the system I'd put in place. In those cases, I just awarded points to the first ten shows they mentioned because no one was allowed more than ten votes.

Honorable mentions:

22. House
22. Grey's Anatomy
24. Dark Angel
24. Gilmore Girls
24. Smallville
27. Big Bang Theory
28. South Park
29. Veronica Mars
29. Torchwood

I apologize if anyone didn't get their chance to vote but I don't have a good program for this and it turned out to be a more annoying task than I anticipated (spanning over four pages worth of shows) so the competition is over. Feel free to comment as you'd like though.

Just started watching arrested development, it really is a fantastic show, awesome story arcs and its just so damn funny. if you want a taste of it just look at my sig 😀

 

[Crashing Doors]

This may be difficult because I have a hard time picking which ones I like more, and what I pick usually changes depending on current obsession. But here it goes.

1. Futurama
2. Veronica Mars
3. Simpsons
4. Friends
5. Bones
6. 30 Rock
7. Gilmore Girls
8. Alias
9. The OC
10. Smallville

This was kind of hard to pick actually... I did it fairly quickly, but it's based more on the feelings I have about the shows, compared to how much I actually watch them.

Well I just noticed how late I came into this thread! Anyway it's funny to see the results... some unexpectedly high, some unexpectedly low, some nowhere to be found. Very interesting list.
