Reproduction and Narrative Complexity in TV

In episode 201, Ryan and Todd work their lists of the Top 10 Television Series of the 21st Century. The hosts operated by the following rules:

1. Only completed series. No currently in production series.

2. No series could be included, even if completed, if there is pre-production or production being done on a continuation to the original series. (Not a total spoiler but spoiler-adjacent comment: one of Todd's selections just about clears this on the basis of a related reboot rather than continuation being in production.)

3. At least 51 percent of the series had to take place in the 21st century. (Again, Todd just about gets away with one.)

4. No limited series or single seasons. (So, Todd also...)

Thanks everybody for tuning in to the first episode of hopefully the next 200!
