The best part of this matchup was finding the DVD pic on photobucket. Apparently there's an adult filter for "Dick Van Dyke". Huh.

(2)The Simpsons


vs.
(63)The Dick Van Dyke Show


Voting ends Tuesday 10/30

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I will vote The Simpsons over anything. I still watch the show is syndication almost everyday even though I've seen efvery episode. Last night the one with Lurleen was on. That was some funny stuff.

The Dick Van Dyke Show was great. Too bad it's up against the Simpsons.

[Krydor]

This is a strange showdown in general. All the shows that pretty much defined the genre are going to get eliminated in the first round or were not nominated at all.

[Jack Quinn]

I voted DVD, even though I know it has no chance because you are all damned NOW people

These two statements ring so damn true it makes me sad.

I feel bad for forgetting the Andy Griffith Show. And for everybody else forgetting it. Jeez, people!

But in this case? Yes Dick Van Dyke was ground-breaking and great. But can you quote 10 different hilarious lines from it? Is it an ineffable part of your life? It's up against the Simpsons! Come on!

[Lucky]

Simpsons blows.

[Batman]

WTF is wrong with you?

[Jack Quinn]

I hope none of these shows are an ineffable part of your life. That said, the Dick Van Dyke show was not about spouting catchy one liners.

That's pretty much my problem with the Simpsons summed up perfectly. I wasn't gonna even try to explain my Simpsons disdain but Moose just nailed it perfect there.

[Batman]

"I bought the largest car I could afford" is not a catchy one-liner.

"Ze goggles, zey do nothing!" is not a catchy one-liner.

"I'll have the clam juice" is not a catchy one-liner.

Yes, "eat my shorts" is a crap catchy one-liner. That aspect of the show had a lot to do with the marketing it, but was not really an essential part of the show itself.

I don't watch a ton of TV, and I'm not someone who's seen every episode, but the great, brilliantly absurd moments from the episodes I have seen have stuck in my mind like few other things from popular culture ever.

What? I'm 31. The show was already off the air before I was born. And I'm one of the older guys here. I never went out of my way to watch old shit. Only reason why I watched I Love Lucy was because our local non-NBC/CBS/ABC channel that showed cartoons put Lucy right after.

[Fire-Babe]

how did the simpsons not make it into round two? did i miss a round?
