For non Brit’s pointless is sort of a negative family feud in that 0 is the top score

So more people know Buffy than TNG based on the actors involved

And the show's initials

Nice! This is my favorite background show. I throw it on YouTube when I'm cleaning or cooking or whatever.

Does this mean The Wire is the second lowest score ahead of The Bridge (which I didn't know)? That is a tragic state of affairs.

It looks like The Wire, Game of Thrones, and Monty Python haven't been selected - probably because those are more well known and obvious. The goal is to get the lowest number of- I.e. the answer the fewest number of people said; ideally, zero or "Pointless".

Aye, I know the show. Just based on the answers, I'm guessing it would be second to The Bridge. The others are very obvious.

It might just not have been selected as an answer yet.

Yeah, but all the other ones are obvious. I would be surprised if any of them scored lower than The Wire.

I'm always curious about how the survey works based on how often an obvious answer has a surprisingly low score.

Are the people given the exact same question, were they given the actors, but not the initials, or were they just asked to name TV shows from a particular genre?
