[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 134880"] Finally I've been able to caculate the results. It wasn't easy to do since 17 members have listed 223 tv-series over the past couple of months and many of the shows were new to me. So I've been using IMDB and Google to try to figure out which shows you mean when you haven't stated the years in brackets. The shows without years are shows that are named the same as some other show and I don't know which show you are referring to. Those members who find their favorites among the ones without years can feel free to tell me which show you were referring to. [COLOR=#000000]I apologize in advance for any errors in the results.
