Like most plans, my plan for this round has gone all higgly-piggly, so I present you with a different round 11. Whilst tracking a troll I came upon another one of those rating communities - top television programs. And, not to apply but just because, I decided to see if I could call out (and narrow down to) the top 20 TV shows of all time. These are, of course, my opinions. And probably more skewed to things currently on TV.

So here you go. A nice Friday activity! List UP TO 20 television shows you think are good or you think I would think are good.

Highest marks go to anything that's actually on my list, or anything that makes me go 'D'oh! that should have been on my list!'

High marks go to something I either like but didn't list, something that looks interesting, or a made-up show that really, really, really should be created.

Low marks go to shows I dislike. Yes, it's all about me. Unless you manage to make such an awful list it makes me laugh. Then it's back to high marks (Snerffle scoring makes as much sense as Amazon review rankings and the PE exam all rolled into one!).

To play other rounds, click on the snerfflebarglast tag! Scoreboard (I promise!) will be up this weekend. Snerffle closes in two weeks. You can start trolling for prizes at [livejournal.com profile] snerffle_07 (yes, a lot of it is re-used!). More will be added before the rounds close. Reminders will be posted. :D

Drama on the Amazon.com front has heated up. I made a few comments yesterday and today on HK's posts (to read the most recent comments on her reviews, go here, but I claim no responsibility if your brain explodes from attempting to read her actual reviews! The comments are fun, though - I'm in there as Smeddley, natch). In the last 24 hours I chalked up 49 new negative votes - you could see it happening, them going down my list of reviews and hitting 'no' on each - the front page slowly turned to 0 out of 1 helpful, then 0 out of 2 helpful... Seriously, in all the time I've been there I have a grand total of... 334 votes, 166 helpful - so 30% (49) of my negative votes I got in a day, the other 70% (122) over...7 months.

Then some of the HK comment group were nice enough to chime in with some positives, so it's a mixed bag now, but I still feel bad about burdening my poor reviews with 'no' comments just because I was being a smart alec in some comments. Ah, well.

The funniest thing? The absolute funniest thing is that in the comments I made some remark about how it was weird you could vote 'not helpful' on someone's user pic. And guess what? 3 'not helpful' votes suddenly appeared on my user pic. I've since replaced it (once to something new, then back to the original) because it's just wrong to vote 'no' on such a cute bilby! (if you want to see it, it's on my profile, here - and far be it from me to request, you know, any positive votes from any of you, but if you feel like it...)

Oh, Friday, how full of drama you were.

Also, we bough a couch yesterday. It should arrive sometime in September.
