This show was a gem. It was so original. The writing was great and the characters were so off the wall. I always looked forward to it.

Sports Night
Someone once said that the best drama on TV was a half-hour comedy callled Sports Night. I'm only sorry that Aaron Sorkin gave it up for The West Wing.

Tho this comes from the 1950's it is still re-run on cable and is well worth seeing or can be bought on box set.

Gladiators
This was a challenge show of physical activity events such as 'The Wall', 'Powerball' and 'Duel'. Started in late 1992 and ran for a number of series during the 1990s. 'Jet', 'Cobra', 'Nightshade' and 'Wolf' were four of the Gladiators. It was filmed at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham but surprisingly made by London Weekend Television (LWT) based at its studios on the South Bank. There was a kids version called 'Train To Win' on Childrens ITV during the 1990s period.

Robot Wars
Started in the late 1990s/early2000s on the BBC before it was transferred to Channel Five. The original UK challenge series gained popularity around the world. Even did one offs including the international one. Seem to remember some of the robots including Tornado, Bulldog Breed and I think Wedgehog.

Must be. Although I was amused when it was new, it was really one of the most inane shows I've ever watched. I thought Fran was a real cutie, but the voice gave me a headache after a few minutes.

I don't know who keeps voting for this show, maybe it's members of the cast.

My goodness! How can you even rank this show up with the greats? Her voice sounds worse than nails down a chalkboard.....
Added 14 years ago by tboneya, 0 points
After a while, her voice becomes just too much.

Are you kidding me, this has got to be one of the stupidest shows ever made. Good thing this list is just a couple people voting more then once for their favorite show so it means nothing, ha ha ha ha!

This was the worst trailer park trash show with the worst two parents on earth. It promoted sloth, was anti-love in a family, and put motherhood back about ten thousand years. Roseanne was disgusting.
