Taskmaster (2015)
I Have Rewatched This Show So Many Times
Taskmaster has too many great moments to count. Every episode is guaranteed to have something that causes me to laugh out loud. I have watched some of these episodes about 10 times and probably average at about 5 rewatches per episode (newer seasons are definitely dragging that total down. Not every task is a winner but there are too many great ones for it to be held down.
Almost every contestant is consistently funny and gets the opportunity to do something great.
Also the amount of comedy you can generate from asking people to eat a watermelon in 1 minute is absurd. That sentence probably sums up the show better than the rest of my review.
Numberjacks (2006)
One of the Best Kids Shows Ever
Numberjacks showcases how much effort can be put into a kids show. It is consistently entertaining with amazing villains (the Numbertaker scared me as a child) and protagonists with some pretty good traits. I loved it as a small child and it is still great as a teenager.
There is a bunch of weird stuff but kids won't really notice and it makes interesting viewing otherwise.
Educationally, Numberjacks does a pretty good job of teaching kids maths concepts and logic while keeping them engaged. These things being the solution to the problems the Numberjacks are facing is great way to prove these are useful and promote problem solving. Overall, this one of (if not the) best kids show I have seen.
