Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Opening Round/Group #3

I am totally surprised at the Cliff Clavin vs. Sydney Bristow matchup. Clavin for me and I thought for sure he'd be a goner so color me surprised when I saw the results thus far.

Sydney is getting her ass kicked by a mailman.

Question is, will this tournament produce a Jack Bauer vs. Jack Bristow matchup?

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Opening Round/Group #3

I only voted for Creed (I nominated him).

He doesn't get a lot of air time, but usually everything he says is funny. I love the random Creed moments.

Dick Loudon vs. Harry Solomon??

Really? C'mon. That's about the toughest choice I've seen so far. It's a shame only one of them will movie on.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Opening Round/Group #3

It's a shame Master Shake is getting trounced so thoroughly. He's easily my favorite of the 4 regulars (the only one I could actually see voting for in this tournament).

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Opening Round/Group #3

1 - Abstain - I almost wanted to vote for Willow just because it's Alyson Hannigan, but I never liked Buffy so I didn't vote.
3 - Creed - Possibly my favorite of all the side characters on The Office. Damn near everything he says is gold.
4 - Cliff - Easy pick.
9 - Harry - Tough matchup. Ask me again tomorrow and I might have gone the other way.
10 - JD - No question.

I had to abstain on the rest because I've never seen, or just dislike, both shows in the matchups.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Opening Round/Group #3

wow, possibly my favorite character, Bill Maxwell, is acutally giving Xena a run for her money.

Did not believe that he would do that well.

^ I thought he would destroy her after I couldn't get a second to get Xena in the favorite show poll.

Good to see Cliff Clavin doing so well. He was one of my last minute adds.

Robert Culp really owned that role of Bill Maxwell and I ended up voting for him although I could have gone either way. He carried TGAH. And while I liked Xena, she wouldn't really be where she is without Gabrielle as her sidekick.

I'm a little surprised, but I guess I really shouldn't be, between David Addison and James West. I thought it would be a tad closer than what it is. Robert Conrad.. that's a man's man there against a snarky David Addison. Another tough choice between two very good characters.

Re: Favorite TV Character Tourney: Opening Round/Group #3

Willow vs. Weezy in the opening round would have made more sense.

Some of these contests are like having Federer or Nadal play a top 10 player in a first round singles match.

Poor Lorelai didn't have a chance against Dr. Greene. Lorelai vs. Rory would have been interesting and, at least, gotten a Gilmore into the 2nd round.

I hope Angela (MSCL) and Lindsay Weir (F&G) are going to be in the tourney.

It is too bad Harry is getting crushed. He is such an over-the-top character. I really do love him.
