I'm very sad at the early polling in one of these races. That's right -- how can Arthur Spooner be losing?

Rockmjd23 · 06-30-09, 07:45 PM

Sipowicz losing.

I don't get that either. The way some of these match ups have played out have been totally bizarre. All of these other hardcore detectives everyone raves about from more recent shows wouldn't exist had Andy not laid the groundwork first.

I'm surprised Thomas Magnum surivived against a cartoon character around here. So far it seemed: animated = lock (I love my toons but that's laughable). Anyway, Magnum survives only to run smack dab into Sam Malone? Tough break there.

I'm down for:

Ben Linus
Johnny Drama
Sam Malone
Jimmy James - Gilligan is an icon, but he's also a one trick pony
Abstain
Abstain
Abstain
Andy Sipowicz

#23 Frank Pembleton(Homicide)
vs
#106 Robert Petrie(Dick Van Dyke)

Oh come on. That's just not fair.

I think we need some pictures of Olive before we can properly vote.

What is the deal with the NewsRadio hard-on around here? Did Joss Whedon create it?

woody5254 · 07-02-09, 11:31 AM

Three close matchups. We could use some more voters.

Same with Angel. And Lost. No way I could vote for Ben over Iggy.

There are still three very close matchups in this group. Keep on voting!!

woody5254 · 07-03-09, 03:50 PM

We have a tie with a little over an hour left. We need more voters for this one!!

Jimmy James · 07-04-09, 12:28 AM

This round serves as a perfect reminder of why we get crap on TV. People like it.

Yes, call me bitter. I am.

Jboone · 07-04-09, 12:48 AM

That would be like losing to Rerun.
