(8,090 posts)1. I tried watching the finale...
but the screaming and applause was so annoying. I felt like I was watching American Idol rather than PBS. The show was really good up until tonight. Not surprised at the winner! Thanks for the link... will check out the overall rankings.

(8,090 posts)3. Well, at least Gulliver's Travels...
beat Fifty Shades of Grey. That list is all over the place.

(8,090 posts)8. Ugh, I only skimmed the list and didn't notice that.
I haven't read (or watched) either series -- maybe I need to see what I'm missing. Or not.

but the list from which readers were to choose? Was it compiled at a father-daughter dance?

(14,134 posts)6. Outlander was #2!
And yes, I'm happy with the #1 choice.
