I did this about 7 months ago using a Flourish datasheet, but it was clumsy. I've now retooled it and got a better setup for quicker adding of votes. So as it was then:

Rather than making a Google Survey like r/television does for its yearly vote - that doesn't capture nuance and possibly provide enough shows to account for taste variety, I've decided to simply ask people to list their top 10 favourite shows. Your 10th choice will give the show 1 point, your 9th will give it to 2 points etc with the 1st choice getting 10 points. Eurovision style.

I'll reply to all comments acknowledging that I've recorded them.

That is the 8pm game. The 1pm games have had different names/slogans over the years.

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

I have no idea what it is then, I just googled "sunday afternoon football show"

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Favorite 10, that are currently airing or all time?

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Of all time.

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Fiction or non fiction? With sports being in the the non fiction cat.

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I do recall some people submitted variety shows and panel shows as part of their top 10 and stuff the last time. I didn't quibble.

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Awesome working on the list now.

2 Star Trek TNG

Basically a list of all the series I enjoyed enough to finish and would watch again.
[-] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

Added. I'm assuming Twin Peaks is the original one?

[-] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

I'd consider the new stuff as an additional season, but if they're considered separate, original and leave the rest of the list as is for simplicity.

Btw, I don't know if you were subscribed to television - but the glitch has knocked you off. You aren't subscribed at the moment.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

On my app (Boost for Android) it said I was subscribed. I hit unjoin, then rejoined. Did that work?

All the sub content showed up in my subscribed feed.

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

Yes.

[-] 0x0f@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

This is really hard, but I'll give it a go. Here's my list, but in no specific order, it's just too hard to compare different genres against each other. 

X-files, Arcane, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Blue Eye Samurai, The Boys, Castelvania, Futurama, Mr Robot, Pantheon, Severance. 

Honarable mentions go to Bodies and Rick and Morty. 

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

I have it set up so its a top ten I put entries in.

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Added. Although what Twilight Zone version is that?

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Good catch! Both are good but I meant original series, same for Night Court

Edit: added to post

[-] Skavau@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

Got it. I was aware of another Night Court, but I did assume that was the original too because the more recent one is hardly on the same tier reputationally lol
