Please choose 2 networks:

Angst and his Dork Vision:


or

MKid and his MKid TV:


or

Tommy and his Tommy Vision:




Polls will close Friday night or Saturday afternoon depending on my mood.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

I'm voting for Tommy until his network faces mine (if we both advance). It's outstanding.

[BTR]

Brad's got the Simpsons and X-Files, which if the draft would have worked out differently might very well have been my first two picks. His Monday nights are awesome and bonus points for having a theme. He's in.

As much as MKid kept saying I was taking picks he has a lot of shows I would never have drafted. Raymond. Hate hate hate his Monday night, but Lois and Clark and Earl help a lot. I liked Thank God You're Here. Lost and 24 do nothing for me.

Tommy's just got Homicide, Modern Marvels, Murphy Brown, and Perfect Strangers. Everything else is meh for me. But Homicide's a big plus. And Smackdown on Mondays?

Close, but MKid's getting my 2nd vote.

[bdbdbd]

Tommy may have the best lineup of the entire thing.

[Lucky]

Dork Vision's got a pretty fun Monday but otherwise not much that speaks to me. I'm probably the only person who Simpsons isn't an immediate watch for.

MKid's got some nice popcorn TV. Not much I'd call great but a lot which I can enjoy in a silly way. And Lost is a guilty pleasure. He's got a vote.

Tommy has nothing I love. I've never seen Homicide but I should have watched it so long ago. Otherwise I don't know. Smackdown and Carol Burnett are worth viewings.

Tommy gets the 2nd nod, it looks like. Sorry, angst.

[Angle]

Looks like I'm in the minority. I voted for Angst. He's got a pretty solid lineup, even though I haven't heard of the first half of his Thursday lineup

No, There are 2 of us. Probably the only thing we'll agree on in the whole showdown!

[Lucky]

Spaced is a show I might give a watch. It stars Simon Pegg and is directed by Edgar White, the team from Shaun of the Dead, and is supposed to be great. But the few clips I've seen did nothing for me. It, Simpsons (which I'm more sick of then dislike), and Quantum Leap MIGHT make me retract my vote. But its a lot "I MIGHT like that show" in both cases. I MIGHT like Homicide more than Spaced.

[DevSop]

MKid for sure as he has quite a few shows I'd watch: Reaper, Lost, 24, and a few others. After that, it's a close battle between Tommy and Angst. I think Angst may squeak out what I would watch, but he has a lot more shows I'd never have an interest in seeing while Tommy gets a lot more of the maybe views between the two. I may hate the guy on CI, but other than that there's enough I could get behind on his network.

Looks like Kid and Tommy for me.

[Lou]

Tommy's got Homicide, which should be enough on it's own to make me vote for his network. But then he's got Mama's Family and that cancels it out. He won me back with L.A. Law and Northern Exposure. Still deciding on the other two.

[BC]

I love Mkid's sitcom lineup. Brad's Monday puts him over Tommy for 2nd. Props to Tommy for Mama's Family though, I loved that show.

[Eric O'Mac]

MKid and Tommy are two others who I think are way ahead the competition. I'd be doing a lot of channel surfing on a lot of their nights. Which unfortunetly leaves Angst out.

[Demko]

Mkid and Angst have totally got me wanting to use my DVR on Thursday nights. I would watch every single part of both of those nights. Friday night would have gone to Angst, but Mkid gets kudos from me, putting together an old-school Nickelodeon night. Fantastic!

Mkid's got me with Earl, Lois & Clark, Reaper, 70s, The Office, and Herman's Head.

Sorry Tommy, just not enough on your network I'd watch. Gotta go with Brad and Chris on this one.

[BTR]

Perhaps there should be a note that it's the British Office and not the American one.

Why not? It's better than RAW.

At times it has been, and probably is now. But Raw was on for years before SD came around and up until about 4 or 5 years ago and the SD Six came along was the clear stepchild of the two. And it wasn't all that long ago they had Bradshaw as a 9 month champ and Rey as the worst-booked champ in recent history. Yeah, RAW was a Cena of suck and DX for awhile, but it seemed that for a while SD just had Edge, Batista, and Taker at the top.

I just think if we're looking at "the best" of what these series have to offer it's the clear #2 to RAW and if they went head to head in a vote it'd lose.

Edge, Bats and Taker is better than Cena and DX. Smackdown offers wrestling-oriented entertainment - RAW offers Vince giving away money and main event handshakes.

[Lucky]

That's only the 21st century though. The Attitude era and before that does push RAW pretty handily. RAW was the flagship for a long time before SD existed. SD only exists because of RAW's success.

Or Nitro's, but whatever.

[BTR]

Yeah, I'm not really belittling SD. Angle and Lesnar were tearing shit up while HHH was feuding w/ Nash and Steiner. They've not had moments or scenes as bad as what RAW has done. But the undercard was just unwatchable for long periods. And Khali was the champ for a bit.

All I'm really saying is that as much as RAW has sucked in recent history most of us are here because it used to be awesome. But just echoing Lucky.

And that's why I drafted it. The great moments outweigh the bad ones.

[Demko]

I agree, over the whole long run of the series. Unfortunately, RAW has definitely left a bad taste in my mouth over the past few years, and it's hard for me to get past that. That being said, I think Solly has a solid network lineup otherwise from that.

[creepy]

I actually smited you Lucky for having never watched Homicide. Not quite The Wire, but Fucking Solid.



MKid has Dragnet. Easy second choice over Dork-A-Vision or whatever. Sorry Angsty, but drinking your Miller Lite and watching your robots battle is my own version of Hell.


And Mama's family sucked worse than almost anything in this draft.

[Batman]

Dork-o-vision is obviously a gimme from me.

Of the other two, Northern Exposure just edges out Sliders for me, so I'm going with Tommy.

If the rest of my lineup doesn't speak to you, there's no way you'd like Spaced. My network IS Spaced. All it is is references to thirty-year-old geek culture, which you obviously have no interest in.

Angst & M-dad for me.
