Shows that ran into the 00s or from the 80s should be judged on their 90s output only. One or two write-in votes are fine as long as you don't go overboard.

As in Samuel's poll, you get 25 votes.
Points go as follows: 1st-250, 2nd-240 etc.

Email ballots to joe.gooden @ gmail.com. Voting ends in one month's time, December the 9th.

Good luck and god speed.

joe's job's a gooden

Wow, so no place for some major programmes such as Pride & Prejudice, One Foot in the Grave, Men Behaving Badly, and Absolutely Fabulous, as well as the more cultish The Crystal Maze, Absolutely, Cardiac Arrest, and Big Breakfast.

^^^^
Feel free to vote for any of the programmes David just mentioned.

Awwwww, nuts. I have a list of shows at home that weren't on the other thread that I was saving in anticipation of a nominations thread. Is it just too late now?

Or, I dunno, are we just gonna keep adding nominations to this thread?

no sister sister, no monica, no recess

monica? i meant moesha

Ehhh, I dunno, dude. Monica sounds right to me.

j/k

not sure whether to vote for Top Of The Pops or not

are we just gonna keep adding nominations to this thread?

Tell ya what, carry on adding noms for now, and I'll post a revised list tomorrow.

I'd like to nominate Frontline, brilliant mid-90s Aussie satire of current affairs TV.

And also The Late Show, by the same people...

The Late Show is in there already.

have i got news for you w/ angus.

Awwwww, nuts. I have a list of shows at home that weren't on the other thread that I was saving in anticipation of a nominations thread. Is it just too late now?

^^^^

Post em Billy! I'm doing a new list tomorrow.

OK, these haven't been nominated, one of which I'm certain I'll be the only one voting for:

An Interview with Dennis Potter
Decisive Moments: The Photographs That Made History
Rab C. Nesbitt
Rock Family Tress

oh please add

Dancing In The Streets: A History Of Rock N' Roll

the best series of music documentaries I've ever seen on the BBC

Oh yeah, that's a good choice.

My fourth nomination was 'Rock Family Trees', obviously.

more noms!

The Adventures of Pete & Pete
COPS (assuming "The Cops" already nominated is something different)
The Daily Show
Doogie Howser, M.D.
Everybody Loves Raymond
Freakazoid!
Mad About You
Politically Incorrect
Red Dwarf
Roc
Saturday Night Live
Talk Soup
That 70s Show
The Vacant Lot
Wings

Knightmare - the early series were in the 80s but a good proportion of them first aired in the early 90s.

Bump for Americans - last chance to nominate!

Murder One, The High Life, Sunset Beach, Jeeves and Wooster, Cold Feet.

Some of the best unintentional lols of the decade: Walker, Texas Ranger

eurotrash

From A to B: Tales of Modern Motoring

Okay. It looks like you actually managed to sneak in a few of my nominations that weren't in the previous thread, chap. Bully for you! Here's the rest of mine:

Amp
Big Train
Cartoon Planet
Exit 57
Farscape
Fifteen
Garfield And Friends
G.B.H.
Monsters
Party Of Five
Smack the Pony
Square One Television
Star Trek: DS9
Tales From The Crypt
Teletubbies
The Tom Green Show
Viva Variety
Wild Palms

Also, I don't quite want to give the nod to any one show (other than maybe DuckTales, which was just baaaaaarely a '90s show, but I'd kinda like to give a group nod to Disney Afternoon? A cornerstone of my after-school junior high days, that was. But just DuckTales, if that doesn't sit right with you.

I think I'm going to finally watch Father Ted in anticipation of voting, as I gather that it will rank rather high.

No one going to nominate Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman?

From A to B: Tales of Modern Motoring

wow i remember this, was it martin parr? it was brilliant.

I'll second the Aus satire Frontline, and also the Micallef The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)

And is it at all possible we can count Futurama? It went to air in March 1999 so that covers all of season 1 and I think half of season 2.

Oops cut and paste spazout. That should be "The Micallef P(r)ogram(me)"

Also, Neighbours but no Home and Away?

No Melrose Place?

Or Star Trek: Voyager

or riget

Absolutely Fabulous too.

Two ballots so far. Only a couple of hours left to sneak in some cheeky final nominations.

Sliders - Time travel with the fat one from Stand by Me.

The Pretender - every episode was the same, but I still watched them all.

The Adventures of Tintin - fairly decent animation of the books.
