Yep. I always have a couple of TV shows in the queue. For some challenges it's to fill in times when a movie is too long, for others it's the main monthly content with challenge material in between.

Thanks for running things, Travis! My list isn't *quite* final but close enough.

I watched S1 of The Walking Dead yesterday and just don't get the attraction. For me it was like watching a *really long* zombie movie but not nearly as fun or interesting. There were many plot holes/inconsistencies that bothered me no end with people doing incomprehensible stuff for no other apparent reason than to move the "plot" along. I'll not bother with more seasons of that one. In all fairness I'm not much of a zombie movie fan and prefer the more humorous ones like Shaun of the Dead. I *do* like most of the Romero ones but they're pretty much exceptions.

Glad everyone had fun. Now, for prizes...! Back in a moment with the randomized results!

Travis McClain

Here are your winners!



1st selection drawn is #31 shellebelle, but she never posted throughout the challenge and is therefore ineligible to win a prize, pursuant to the posted rules.

1st selection: #35 Qrusher14242

2nd selection: #20 MrTerrific

3rd selection drawn: #23 pagefrance, who is unfortunately ineligible to win a prize by being outside the United States. Sorry!

3rd selection: #9 Greg MacGuffin

4th selection: #25 HyperWeather

5th selection: #4 Cardsfan111

6th winner: #17 malazar

I'll contact each winner in turn to see which prize they want, and inform the next in line what their remaining choices are. Enjoy!

Congrats to the winners!

Thanks Travis for hosting, and to GoldenWheels (I assume) for the prizes.

Congrats to the winners.

BobO'Link

Congrats winners! IMHO there are some difficult choices you'll be making...

Thanks Goldenwheels/Hamilton Books for the prizes!

Thanks, Travis, for hosting and to GoldenWheels and Hamilton Books for the prizes!

Hey, thanks Travis! Sorry no internet at home and just saw your message today.

Finally finished Wagon Train S3 and Mayday S12. Those were my main goals to finish. I watched 31 hours of Wagon Train this month heh just beating out Heartland. I love doing these and hope they continue. I don't watch many movies, just mostly tv shows.

Trevor

Congrats to the winners and big thanks to Travis! But also, what is the statistical probability of not winning any of the last 547 Challenge prizes, despite being the only person to qualify for every single chance? I should buy a lottery ticket! Or maybe not....

Travis McClain

Don't lose heart; if past challenges have taught me anything about prizes, it's that they never wind up going to the top group of numbers drawn. Someone only created a placeholder post that was never active, someone lives outside the U.S., someone never checked their messages or kept up with the discussion thread to know they'd won, and every now and again, someone just doesn't want any of the offered prizes so they pass. You just need something like 18 participants to do one of these things and BAM! You're a winner!

Trevor

True, but I was mainly joking actually. The fewer packages arrive at the house the better!

In fact, I already own the prizes so if I get picked in a re-draw please donate my prize to science.

ntnon

I second your prizelessness, but ultimately agree with this secondary concern more!

.... whereas I don't own Pan Am....

ntnon

Thanks, Travis!

Discovered, started and finished-except-the-reunion-movie Dead Like Me. Overall, very enjoyable and I'm very pleased I watched it. But in some specifics, it was surprisingly depressing and bleak for a comedy - even if a very black one.

davidh777

I didn't pay for these, honey--HONEST!

Cardsfan111

No joke. I have used that line multiple times.

HyperWeather

I loveee Dead Like Me, but keep expectations down a bit for the movie unfortunately.

Thank you for hosting, and thank you GoldenWheel for the prizes! Considering I had such a strong start, I didn't finish quite where I wanted to, but got through a lot of really good things so good challenge overall.

Travis McClain

All prizes have been claimed and turned over to Rich for processing. My thanks to all participants for keeping the discussion lively and civil, and to the prize winners for all getting back to me promptly! Be here later this year for the next exciting TV on DVD* Challenge...

Same Bat-Time!

Same Bat-Forum!!

shadokitty

For me, it's still going on, as when I'm not watching stuff for the Academy Award Challenge, I'm watching TV shows.

BobO'Link

^Ditto

GoldenWheels

Prizes are out in the mail folks, congrats and enjoy!

ororama

I watch more movies than TV shows, so this challenge is a welcome change of pace. I'm back to movies, but I finished the second season of Californication this month, and plan on finishing Cosmos before the month is over.

Qrusher14242

Thanks! just got my prize. Was a great challenge this year

Greg MacGuffin

Got my prize earlier this week. Thanks again!
