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 really enjoyed Terra Nova, and the show had so much potential ~ I was gutted when it was cancelled after just one season.

76. Pointless (2009-)
No. of Episodes: 1193
Pointless is a British television quiz show hosted by Alexander Armstrong with assistance from Richard Osman. In each episode four teams of two contestants attempt to find correct but obscure answers to four rounds of general knowledge questions, with the winning team eligible to compete for the show's cash jackpot. All questions used on the show are factual in nature, and are asked of a panel of 100 individuals in a pre-conducted public survey. Contestants seek to find correct answers that were given by as few of the survey subjects as possible ("points"); each round is won by the team with the fewest points. "Pointless" answers, given by nobody, score zero points, the best score. Every pointless answer given during the main game increases the jackpot by £250, and one such answer must be given in the final round in order to win it. Probably the best quiz show of the last decade, couldnt make a top 100 without it

75. Travelers (2016-2018)
No. of Episodes: 34
Travelers is a Canadian-American science fiction television series created by Brad Wright, starring Eric McCormack, Mackenzie Porter, Jared Abrahamson, Nesta Cooper, Reilly Dolman, and Patrick Gilmore. The series was an international co-production between streaming service Netflix and Canadian specialty channel Showcase for its first two seasons, but after season three it was cancelled. In a post-apocalyptic future, thousands of special operatives are tasked with preventing the collapse of society. These operatives, known as "travelers", have their consciousnesses sent back in time and transferred into the "host" body of present-day individuals who would otherwise be moments from death, to minimize unexpected impact on the time line. The transfer requires the exact location of the target, made possible by 21st century smartphones and GPS, providing time, elevation, latitude, and longitude (TELL) coordinates that are archived for use in the future.

74. Atlantis (2013-2015)
No. of Episodes: 25
Atlantis is a British fantasy-adventure television programme, inspired by Greek mythology. Atlantis was the biggest new Saturday night drama series launch across all BBC channels since 2006, even up on the launch of hit show Merlin. It also managed to draw 1 million viewers away from the highly popular ITV show The X Factor, which aired at the same time in the UK. In the modern day, Jason, the protagonist of the show, pilots a one-man submarine to investigate a deep sea disturbance that resulted in the disappearance of his father when he was a child. When he discovers the location, the submarine begins to fail and he is pulled into white light. He wakes up on the shores of the kingdom of Atlantis, which is ruled by a traditionalist, King Minos and his power-hungry, manipulative wife, Queen Pasiphae. Jason has entered a world where gods smite, legendary creatures guard dangerous curses and life is not fair, but it is still possible for heroes and justice to prevail.

73. Family Guy (1999-)
No. of Episodes: 349Family Guy is an American animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company that debuted on January 31, 1999. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children, Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog, Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its surreal and dark humour in the form of metafictional cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. If I made this list 10 year ago this would be much higher in my list but it has been on the decline for a while now but for them first 10 year this was brilliant

For a good while Family Guy was one of the best comedy shows out there. I didn't always get the references, but when I did they were great. And I loved the long-running gags like the chicken fight

Like Terra Nova, this is another great show that was cancelled just as it was getting interesting ~ shame on you BBC!

Atlantis was in a difficult spot having to follow the superior Merlin, which I should have included in my list , and Robin Hood.
It has some great ideas but some were wasted as well.

Merlin was so good! Didn't really rate Robin Hood though I did watch all of it. I recall Richard Armitage, Harry Lloyd (forever to be known as Viserys now!) and Keith Allen were all in it

Oh I couldn't stand Atlantis, the main guy was painful to watch - he could have played the Trojan horse! It had loads of unnecessary childish comedy too, which seemed way more forced than the stuff they did in Merlin.
