Gave Titans a go but really couldn’t get into it.
Not seen Botched but I recognise one of those fellas as one of the husbands in the early seasons of Real Housewives of Beverley Hills!

No. of Episodes: 18
Da Ali G Show is a British satirical television series created by and starring English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. In the series, Baron Cohen plays three unorthodox journalists — faux-streetwise poseur Ali G, Kazakh reporter Borat Sagdiyev, and gay Austrian fashion enthusiast Brüno Gehard. These characters conduct real interviews with unsuspecting people, many of whom are celebrities, high-ranking government officials, and other well-known figures, during which they are asked absurd and ridiculous questions. Another huge early 00's series that has spawned multiple spin offs and films, we are even getting a Borat 2, they've just finished recording!

See I think I watch a lot of TV, then these threads show up and I realise that I'd struggle to even make a top 50 of the decade!
Also did Jackass really only have 25 episodes? I think I must have seen nearly all of them without realising...

Yeah I would've swore there were 80+ episodes but yeah I guess with all the films, repeats and spin off series it seemed like a lot more

87. The Island With Bear Grylls (2014-)
No. of Episodes: 38
This one is a British reality television programme which premiered on Channel 4 on 5 May 2014. Five series have aired since 2014. Narrated by Bear Grylls, it features participants placed on remote uninhabited Pacific islands as a test of their survival skills. They are left completely alone, filming themselves, and with only the clothes they were wearing and some basic tools and training. I do like the premise of these survival shows, this one is a bit more sanitised and dare I say scripted, there is a lot of DAY 18 we are starving "oh look we caught an alligator in a trap we never set" but the celebrity version of the show is quite good too and that is for a Cancer charity

86. The Expanse (2015)
No. of Episodes: 46The Expanse is an American science fiction television series based on the series of novels of the same name by James S. A. Corey. The series is set in a future where humanity has colonized the Solar System. It follows a disparate band of antiheroes – United Nations Security Council member Chrisjen Avasarala, police detective Josephus Miller, ship's officer James Holden and his crew – as they unwittingly unravel and place themselves at the centre of a conspiracy which threatens the system's fragile state of Cold War. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, I'm halfway through season 2 but so far i m impressed and Prime Video have it in 4k so it looks fantastic so I'm trusting TheThorne when he says it will only get better

85. Russell Howards Good News (2009-2015)
No. of Episodes: 96
Russell Howard's Good News was a British comedy and topical news television show which was broadcast on BBC Three between 2009 and 2014, and on BBC Two between 2014 and 2015. Hosted by comedian Russell Howard, it offered his commentary on the news of the week through mostly stand-up, along with sketches and humorous video clips, whilst also having guest appearances from people who have been featured in the media recently, we could've had Mock The Week or 8 Out of 10 Cats in my top 100 but for me Russell Howard's Good News was my favourite comedial take on the news

84. Flight of the Conchords (2007-2009)
No. of Episodes: 22
Flight of the Conchords is an American sitcom that was first shown on HBO on June 17, 2007. The show follows the adventures of Flight of the Conchords, a two-man band from New Zealand, as its members seek fame and success in New York City. The show stars the real-life duo of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, who play fictionalized versions of themselves with the series centering on the day-to-day lives and loves of two shepherds-turned-musicians, Jemaine and Bret who have uprooted themselves from their native New Zealand to try to make it big as a folk duo in New York City. The series is very similar to what Tenacious D did in late 90's also for HBO, loser band try and make it in America, both are real bands outside the tv show too, its quite interesting this one, a mix of comedy, music and sitcom

I do like some of Good News but Russell Howard is a bit of a small doses comedian for me. Much prefer Mock the Week, or at least I did 10 years ago - not watched in a very long time!
The Expanse and Flight of the Conchords are both on my 'shows I really need to get around to watching one day' list...

82. Deal or No Deal (2005-2016)
No. of Episodes: 3003
Deal or No Deal is a British game show, hosted by Noel Edmonds, which aired from 31 October 2005 to 23 December 2016 on Channel 4. Based on the original Netherlands format of the game show, each episode sees a contestant choosing one of 22 boxes, each containing a cash amount between 1p to £250,000, and then attempting to win as much as possible either by gambling on having a high amount in their chosen box, or making the game's hidden operator, named "the Banker", offer a considerable cash sum for their box regardless of what is inside. The amount a contestant wins is determined by pure luck – cash amounts are randomly allocated to each of the boxes before each game, with contestants required to open a specific number of boxes per round of the game to eliminate the cash amounts their chosen box does not contain, in turn affecting how much is offered by the Banker. Games always end with the player opening all of the boxes, including their own, regardless of how they intend to make money. Such a simple contest but such a good show

81. American Dad (2005-)
No. of Episodes: 300American Dad! is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane, Mike Barker, and Matt Weitzman for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series premiered on February 6, 2005, following Super Bowl XXXIX, with the rest of the first season airing three months later beginning May 1, 2005. While the core issues and resolutions are relatable in most episodes, the show nonetheless weaves in fantastical elements, pitching the tone of the show somewhere between observational comedy and farce. The plots are often absurd, but grounded by family stories and real-world issues

80. Terra Nova (2011)
No. of Episodes: 13Terra Nova is an American science fiction drama television series. It aired on the Fox Network for one season from September 26 to December 19, 2011. The series documents the Shannon family's experiences as they establish themselves as members of a colony, set up 85 million years in the Earth's past, fleeing the dystopian overpopulated and hyper polluted present of the mid-22nd century. The series is based on an idea by British writer Kelly Marcel with Steven Spielberg as executive producer. On March 5, 2012, Fox announced that the show had been cancelled. I was really enjoying this one and gutted I never got to se where they would take it if it had a few series.

I enjoy American Dad though have always preferred that other Seth MacFarlane animated comedy show.
I think I saw the first episode of Terra Nova on a plane once! It seemed like a cool concept. A pity they cancelled it.

79. Big Brother (2000-2010)
No. of Episodes: 929Big Brother is the British version of the international reality television franchise Big Brother created by producer John de Mol in 1997. Originally broadcast yearly between 2000 and 2018, the show followed the premise of other versions of the format, in which a group of contestants, known as "housemates" live together in a specially constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. The housemates are continuously monitored during their stay in the house by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones. Throughout the course of the competition, housemates are evicted from the house - voted-out of the competition. The last remaining housemate wins the competition and is awarded a cash prize. For this i have just taken series 1-11 originally run on Channel 4, it might be trash TV but art the time especially the first few series it was like a social experiment and made for some great viewing

Yeah Family Guy is good, I went off it halfway through when it became the Peter Griffin show and it went all about how stupid they could make him, i mean that was always the punchline but they just got really tedious in the end
