Spidey Freak Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I kind of wish that I held the voting open until this week or something, The Legend of Korra's finale was amazing and it would have bumped up the show quite a few ranks in my list. I can't believe they went so progressive and daring with the ending. Seriously! I think it was #15 or something on my list. Now it has cracked the Top 10 and may rise higher after repeat viewings! Oh well, there's always next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 LOL you have nooo idea, my Google search was "the shield fx gif tumblr -marvel -wrestler" and it still took forever! As a Tumblr user who needed an outlet for some serious geeking out over that show when I finished it, I know that pain all too well. That group, well, let's just say they had a rather dedicated fanbase on the internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernus Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I still can't believe Looney toons couldn't even make it to the top 100. If any "saturday mornjng cartoon" deserved it, it was this one. It should have been in the top 25 atleast, if for nothing else than atleast for its legacy, pure classicness, and the mere fact that it brought probably some of the greatest cartoon characters ever all into a single show! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 True Detective is a freakin' awesome show. Terrific acting, tight direction, a rich and creepy, multifaceted story, great music, plus Alexandra Daddario's gorgeous fun bags. For that latter reason alone, it deserves to be higher.

chasmmi Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I am getting really confused now as I saw no evidence that my number one pick would come close the the top 50, but here we are and it hasn't shown up as far as I can see. I'm starting to worry it got misplaced somethere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can express whatever opinion they want sure, but it's just as right that I get to express that I think it's some bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Yo, Coolio! Maybe if we whine a little more people's opinions and tastes will be altered. This is the internet, afterall. That works all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 People can express whatever opinion they want sure, but it's just as right that I get to express that I think it's some bullshit. No but seriously. What the hell are you whining about? Glee being #59 on a popularity poll? As Iceroll said, that is an incredibly valid placement considering the impact it used to have on pop-culture 3-4 years back. If mainstream entertainment makes a difference in peoples' lives, especially the way Glee has done for LGBTQ teens and their straight allies, then more power to its popularity.
