Boxcutters - An Australian TV Podcast: Top 30 Cult Shows

  • catbrain · 2 years ago
    I always think of 'cult' being outside the mainstream when it is contemporary, so I would tend to agree that something like Lost cannot be considered cult, whereas Star Trek original series can. Just because something doesn't fit the mainstream also doesn't make it cult, such as Monty Python's Flying Circus - very popular from the get-go at the time of its original broadcast.

    In terms of American pop culture, these probably are all cult shows, although I totally agree that Arrested Development should be in there: an outrageous omission, for what - Beauty And The Beast, perhaps?! puh-leeeese....

    That list is rubbish. How can Doctor Who be at 22 ??!

    It's a US list.
