I've gotta support my ABC shows. Well at least the good ones!

Those three are the template for EVERY prime time cop/hospital drama. Seriously, all of them.

These are programs I can watch over and over again, due to how goddamn awesome they are.

DISCUSS MORE or else I really am going to think people don't care about this showdown.

Ballots due in a week.

Is that the show that had the ambulance in the opening, and some weird synthesizer opening music? From the 1970's maybe? If it is, I used to watch that when I got home from school.

[williamssl]

More Miami Vice nominations please

I don't there is much to discuss. The Network/Cable split seems largely redundant to me and counter to how people would list their favourite shows, and in a lot of cases, probably wouldn't matter that much. You're not going to generally got a lot of difference in how far two shows push things when they both go out at 8pm. You would have been better splitting it into "Shows with Swearing/Graphic Violence/Boobs" and "All the rest". That said, here's my updated list:


1. Buffy
2. Firefly
3. Heroes
4. 24
5. Lost
6. Quantum Leap
7. Angel
8. X-Files
9. Smallville
10. Sharpe
11. Alias
13. Columbo
14. Bones
15. The A-Team
16. Cold Case

[Lori]

I really only saw two others to add.

Revised list:


1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2. Beverly Hills 90210
3. 24
4. Angel
5. Firefly
6. Lost
7. X-Files
8. The Twilight Zone
9. ER
10. The Wonder Years
11. My So-Called Life
12. Magnum PI
13. Miami Vice

Forgot about Don Johnson and Tom Selleck. My mom was in love with Tom. Or maybe his mustache.

[DevSop]

Can we all please get over the Network/Cable thing? It's in the past already.

Bah, boo, bee! Squad 51 dude trapped under car!!

My wife is a bit younger than I am, and never saw that show until it was on TV Land, and she was hooked after one episode. Julie London, Bobby Troupe, Kevin Tighe, Randolph Mantooth and the fat guy who played Chet.

Yes, Locke's dad was on Emergency.

Also, when I was a kid, I saw the paramedic vehicle during a tour of Universal studios, and went NUTS, because I was 6.

I'm almost 32 and I still go nuts at Universal when I see the DeLorean, Bluesmobile, et al.

If we discuss too much now then what the hell will we talk about when the matchups start?

[DevSop]

Try to get people to consider some of your favorite shows to make sure they even make the Showdown. Like MKid, I know you've mentioned Reaper and Pushing Daisies. Those are two pretty new shows, that may not get a lot of support right away. Talk them up and maybe someone will consider a late ballot slot especially if they arent reaching 25. It may help them get in.

[Lucky]

If all else fails post pictures of Missy Peregrym. Didn't really work 6 months ago but its a brave new world.

[Krydor]

I'm surprised no one nominated Cane. It is, after all, the only show to be developed on a throwaway line from a Simpsons episode.

[The Canadian Content]

1. Lost
2. Sports Night (unless it's a comedy -- I'm fine on the ruling either way)
3. Twin Peaks
4. West Wing
5. Reaper
6. Bones
7. Angel
8. X-Files
9. Buffy
10. Studio 60
11. Miami Vice
12. Law & Order (original)
13. CSI (original)
14. NYPD Blue
15. Wonder Years
16. Quantum Leap
17. Knight Rider

I liked the first coupe of episodes, but it turns out it's not a great show.

I liked the premise but not how it turned out. Smits' character should be this bad mother but he's actually a pretty stupid criminal. Why shoot a guy with your own gun when you can just feed him to the gators? I think the producers spent too much time on the look of the show instead of punching out a decent script. Too much sizzle, not enough steak.

[Stu]

Most of my picks are fairly well represented in nominations, I think. Uh...nominate Sharpe if you like seeing Sean Bean killing the french? And Bones if you like David Boreanaz....or that chick who ordered the pizza at the start of Spider-Man 2?

[BC]

I like Cane too, but not enough to nominate it. That being said, Lina Esco (Katie - Smits' daughter) is my new fave hot chick on TV. Anyway here's my list:

1. Buffy
2. Smallville
3. Firefly
4. Angel
5. Veronica Mars
6. Invasion
7. OC
8. Dukes of Hazard
9. Knight Rider
10. Friday Night Lights
11. Freaks & Geeks
12. NYPD Blue
13. Fall Guy
14. In the Heat of the Night
15. Columbo
16. Joan of Arcadia
17. Moonlight
18. Magnum PI

Now, Solly & DSop, PLEASE stop bugging me about these things. They're not the second coming of Jesus. I am.
