Should be Prisoner the greatest tv show ever. I dont know why they dont make a new series set in Wentwort Detention Centre, bring back some of the old characters as well as introduce new ones

This is the only year they can ever give it to Naylor, due to his death whereas all the others can be recognised in the future.

Surely to goodness the ‘Hall of Fame’ Must go to Prisoner! The show has not only had fame in Australia, but around the globe and continues to do so to this day – some 31 years later!! It has made household names of many Aussie actors globally, was so ‘ahead of it’s time’ and addressed issues other shows around the world during that era would have shyed away from. C’mon all you Logies people, let’s give this show – the recognition it deserves!

I hope a state-based personality does not get it.

Anne Wills has won 20 state-based Logies in SA, making her a worthy nominee. But most people have no idea who she is. Same with state-based newsreaders, even though they come from an eastern state.

Prisoner is a force that needs to be recognised and awarded! It’s the best show ever! What a show case of Australian talent! Even all these years later an people still talk about it!

I would love Prisoner to win it, but as many people have said it will probably go to Brian Naylor – if only it had been nominated last year for it’s 30th Birthday, then I’m positive the show would have won it!!

Prisoner definitely deserves it, brings back so many memories and everyone watched it when it was on, why can’t we make dramas like that anymore? I agree most of those newsreaders are state based and aren’t known throughout the world like Prisoner is.

I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again, Reg Watson deserves to receive the award.

Whilst I agree Prisoner is a remarkable show with a huge cult worldwide audience, it would never have existed had it not been for Mr Watson creating it.

He has created dozens of internationally renowned dramas that have showcased literally thousands of actors on the world stage.

He absolutely should receive the award sometime for his massive contribution to Australian television.

Ian Ross & Brian Naylor were both very city based and not nationally famous i don’t think it should go to either

and Ken Sutcliffe? wtf? the rest would be ok.

l love Prisoner nd have every single dvd of the series,l believe it is the best tv show ever made in Australia,hope it gets the award.The series is a cult not just here but in England as well,31 years after the first show aired and the show still has so many fans who love the show .But l think Brian Naylor will get the award because of his tragic death last year,l did grow up watching Nine news Melbourne and Brian was the best newsreader l have ever watched on tv.

So glad to see Prisoner make it on the list it is thoroughly deserved just wish Channel Ten would consider screening it again at some stage. You can’t get drama better than this, it was Australian drama at its best!

Brian Henderson seems the likely victor to me, although I would love for Prisoner to get the award. It did break every previous rule in the television book, and was huge across other continents. – I guess Prisoner was such a huge point of difference. Love to see Val Lehman,Elspeth Ballantyne,Collette Mann, Peta Toppano, Carol Burns, Betty Bobbitt, Patsy King , Louise Siversen, Janet Andrewartha, Jackie Woodburne, Julia Blake Tina Bursill, Debra Lawrence etc etc be on stage together. How will they choose who to accept?

While I think having a public voted Hall Of Fame would go against the Logies deep wish to have some cred, I do think there is an argument to have a show and a person inducted each year. Especially if the person is either of the Brians, who (for most of their careers) were really only known in one city.

Ken Sutcliffe…. what?

No way, how the hell could he even be considered?? I’d even put E Mc G ahead of Ken, if Ken were to get in it would be far Ken BS
