Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Big Love - It's a pretty good show, not a huge fan but I really couldn't get into Friends
Mary Tyler Moore - not into either one, but it's my mother's favorite show ever so I'll vote Mary.
Deadwood - landslide for me
Cheers - both are fun but I really love Cheers.
Millenium - Underrated show, never quite found it's audience.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Friends (never seen Big Love)
30 Rock (MTM was before my time)
Deadwood (I've never seen Fawlty Towers but I'm not a fan of British comedy)
Cheers (Greatest sitcom ever!)

Didn't vote for Matchup 5, I've never seen either show.

MTM
Deadwood
Cheers
Millenium



Never saw the two shows in match-up 1, so I abstain. I thought about voting for Big Love because you couldn't pay me to watch Friends.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Big Love
30 Rock
Deadwood (toughest one for me)
Cheers

Much better than the last round (I don't even know if I voted). I'd be curious to know how many people that voted for Friends are Jewish. I only ask bc I happen to know that it's the biggest show ever in Israel. I guarantee that if the majority of people voting were Israeli, Friends would win the whole thing.

I cast a sympathy vote for Gilligan's Island. I'm a big Cheers fan, but I feel like I lived off of Gilligan's Island as a kid.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

I cannot believe Mary Tyler Moore is already facing off against 30 Rock! That seems like a semi final battle...

Very odd, why is that?

I doubt 'Friends' will get out of the next round here based on the demographic of DVDTalk, but we'll see.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Matchup #1 - Frends, without hesitation.

Matchup #2 - 30 Rock - I know that TMTMS is supposed to be a classic, but I never really cared for it.

Matchup #3 - Deadwood, but it was close.

Matchup #4 - Cheers. LIked GI as a kid, but it's unwatchable now.

Matchups #5 - Batman, another one I loved as a kid. It hasn't held up well, but still better than the dreary Millenium.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Never cared for Friends, never watched Big Love. Abstained.

Just started watching 30 Rock; never got into The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Went with Tina Fey.

Never saw either Deadwood or Fawlty Towers. Abstained.

Cheers is the greatest sitcom of all time (in my book, anyway). It didn't even matter that I never cared for Gillgan's Island.

I enjoy the 1966-69 Batman, enough to choose it over a show I never watched. How deep into the tourney I'll stay with it, I don't know, but it gets my nod this time.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Just FYI: It's Millennium, not Millenium...and it got my vote.

Re: "Favorite" TV Show Tournament Round #2/Group #6 Poll

Friends (this was the closest in my mind as Big Love is one of my faves, but it took a few episodes to find it's feet and we're only 3 seasons in, so Friends, which was great for all 10, gets my vote)

30 Rock (never cared much for MTM)
Deadwood (one of my favourite shows OF ALL TIME)
Cheers
Batman (don't care for this much either but I wasn't a huge fan of Millennium either)

I haven't kept up, but there is something wrong with the tournament when it appears that not a single person nominated the Muppet Show.

I'm surprised that Bigh Love is taking the beating it is.

To be fair, Friends is one of the most popular T.V. shows of all time.

...and a lot of people don't have HBO. That's how I rationalize it anyway.

In my opinion Big Love is the greatest show to ever air on TV. I'm constantly amazed at what the writers are able to do. It's probably not my favorite show ever (I probably like Lost more), but I can't think of anything better than it.
