The only shows on The Escapist that I watch are Zero Punctuation, Extra Credits and MovieBob's stuff.

Zero Punctuation is kind of fun, but the theme song is horrible.

Extra Credits is either great or a waste of time. Lately, it has been a waste of time.

MovieBob is the only one that I consistently enjoy. Although, Escape to the Movies is on Fridays, which perhaps makes me view it more positively since I'm almost always happy on Fridays.

Unskippable is the best one for sheer entertainment value.
Extra Credits is the best one for something actually meaningful (I don´t always agree with them, but they always make me think and I can appreciate that).

Doomsday arcade.
I just finished going through all of it and found it brilliant due to it's tongue in cheek attitude.

Too bad it's ended though.

It's no arguement for me, I love Extra Credits, with Unskippable and Zero Punctuation both coming in second.

Zero Punctuation.
Extra Credits would be about equal, but they're too devout to games being art for my liking. And they don't swear anywhere near enough.

Had to pick ZP, but EC is not far behind. I like MovieBob, but i don't really care for the "movie" part..

Pfft, Unforgotten Realms was always my favorite.
ZP and EC take very close second with MovieBob's stuff right behind in third (technically fourth, but... shut up, it's my ranking system. heh).

I enjoy all of the series they have.
But I enjoy Loading Ready Run of the current run of series. The Show about games show is pretty awesome too.
but I like Unforgotten Realms for past series.

for me, it's a eight way tie between zero punctuation, extra credits, unskippable, loading ready run, enn, escape to the movies, the big picture, and daily drop.

I can't vote because I can't pick just one favorite. it wouldn't feel right.

Escape To The Movies
The Big Picture
Zero Punctuation
and Extra Credits
I like them the same
I watched a few episodes of the Lisa Folies show but for some reason lost interest

Love both ZP and EC but ended up going with ZP because I find it slightly more important, we need more critics like Yahtzee to be loud and in your face.

My vote goes to Unskippable. I can't stand Extra Credits; the narrator has to hem and haw and build up the simplest statements or cultural references as blinding insight - as a nearly insurmountable mental challenge to we average viewers without copious warning and hand-holding. There's good stuff in there (I liked the dissection of the origins of God of War's story vs. GoW III's ending), but the presentation is just too smug and obnoxious. I have my issues with ZP, but at least if Yahtzee wants to reference À La Recherche du Temps Perdu, he's not going to dither for several frames in self-congratulatory faux worry that he's going over our heads.
