Cheers Season 8 - What is... Cliff Clavin (Alex Trebek), The 2 Faces of Norm, Death Takes a Holiday on Ice (Thomas Haden Church), Two Girls for Every Boyd (Lisa Kudrow), Sammy and the Professor (Diedrich Bader), Finally (Bill Medley), Indoor Fun with Sammy and Robby (Sam cheats at chess), Bar Wars III: The Return of Tecumseh, Loverboyd (ends with Sam & chambermaid watching Ghostbusters), and Cry Hard(er) (Sam gets bar back).
Sorry it's long, but I'm cracking up just thinking about these episodes.
"You drive a Volare? So do I. I got it from my mom!"
"Oh man I love Ghostbusters. Too bad it was robbed at the Oscars."
"Who are 3 people who have never been in my kitchen?"
"My names Bill Medley." "I know, but to me you'll always be the other Righteous Brother."

It seems like we're at a good number to stop taking more people. How is the voting going to work? Just a bunch of 1 person's lineup vs another person's lineup with some byes for the first round? It would suck to put the work into doing the draft and get eliminated in the first round. Maybe it should be double elimination. The first round could be 3 way and then you'll have 8 for the winner's bracket and 16 for the loser's bracket.

I just noticed that my Twilight Zone description was edited in the 2nd post. Was it too long? I used the "It's good that you did that, Anthony! Real good!" line because I thought it would be more recognizable than the episode title, It's A Good Life. It's the episode where Bill Mumy wishes people away into the cornfield. If my description was too long, I'd much rather have "It's A Good Life" listed than "Robert Redford."

Damn you Das, Sports Night was my 2nd round pick. Thought I could get it in the 2nd round.
I'll take West Wing S2 (Two Cathedrals, In the Shadow of Two Gunmen, Noel, Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail).

I really hoped Newsradio season 3 would make it to day three -- I figured it was more likely that Veronica Mars would go today than it would. Oh well. I'm happy to see it get the respect it deserves.
My only complaints come with your description. You have to lead with Daydream and mention Space if you ask me.

Since somebody stole my pick for today (Nip/Tuck Season 1), and someone else has picked season 3 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, I'm going to go with:
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Season 2 (The Doll, The Car Salesman, The Shrimp Incident, The Acupuncturist) I wish to really emphasize The Doll and The Acupuncturist.

The game is still open until we have 32 players. There will be no double-elimination tournament.
Rather than reply to every post, I simply edit the descriptions as I put them in. Particularly the long ones. If you don't like what I've done with your description, no problem. Just submit an alternative that is about the same length or shorter than other descriptions (as Clever did above).
Remember, the idea is to distinguish the season for people who are already familiar with the show, so you shouldn't have to put much. For example, there's really no need to tell us that Season 1 of a show containst the "Pilot." I'll probably do some further trimming of the longer descriptions before we move into the voting round.
Everybody's made their picks for Round 2, glad to see everybody's active so far. Let's hope we can get 8 more players before the voting starts.
