Two comedic heavyweights square off in Round 1. Can The Simpsons carry Byrnie to the next round or will Seinfeld and the yelling Joos (tm, Moose) lead Baron to victory?

Byrne


Baron

Poll locks Tuesday, 10/27

I feel like Byrne starts off strong and then nosedives. BB has a good little block for part of Thursday, but what's with all the ghosts?

[The Canadian Content]

I went with Baron. I feel like his schedule makes more sense as far as what times shows are on, and I think I'd probably watch more hours of his programming.

[Byrntrigan]

But I have thematic block - so I should have a little something for everybody.

Monday - Drama
Tuesday - Reality
Wednesday - Horror
Thursday - Super Heroic TV
Friday - SciFi Friday
Saturday - Saturday Night Cartoons
Sunday - Comedy

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Going with Baron, I would watch more of his shows and his Thursday is great.

[Mikey]

Baron barely, as Martin puts him over the top.

while I love and had these shows on my board to be drafted: Chappelle's Show, Faulty Towers, Monty Python, Mr. Show, and the X-Men. I gotta go with Baron. He has some good theme nights, and many of his shows have that "under the radar feel" to them. Case in point, Exo Squad, which has been called the Battlestar Galactica of animation. For the benefit of the viewers at home, Hulu offers the entire gripping series. www.hulu.com/search?query=exo+s&st=

Sun: Mysteries and War Sundays
Mon: You're Going to Jail Mondays
Tues: Out of This World Tuesdays
Wed: Haunted Wednesdays
Thurs: Comedy Thursdays
Fri: Guy's Night Fridays
Sat: I Fought the Law Saturdays

Even with Thor you do this?

Canadian traitor...

Byrne's network is SO nerdy and really falls off for me after Sunday. But I think ECW is the only show on Baron's network I'd possibly watch. Also, Gargoyles aren't ghosts so I'm punishing him for that break from theme. Byrne.

These six words have never been put together in this order, at least not with a positive connotation.

[creepy]

Yeah, that threw me for a loop. Martin? With Martin Lawrence? That did it? To each his own, I guess.

[creepy]

Bryne!!!!! Why on earth is Chappelle's Show on first? It should go Fawlty Towers, Monty Python (or vice versa), Chappelle and then Mr. Show or (vice versa). The Critic and the Simpsons should be on before those or on a different night. Failed on that scheduling.

No interest in Mondays. *Might* check out SoA. Don't care about Tuesday, either. Wednesday has NG, which I've actually never seen, so I don't know. I like John Astin. Love that guy. Is he still alive? Hour shows shouldn't start on the half hour. Another fail. Cartoons. Friday stinks. CARTOONS.


Baron- Loved Unsolved Mysteries. Mini-series shouldn't be allowed in this, so I'm not voting on Band of Brothers. (Honestly, why are mini-series' allowed? After the 10 part series, what happens? I get a show that got canceled, it has the potential to be elongated, but a mini-series ends after a few epsiodes. Does it replay? Fucking dumb.)

Magnum was ok back in the day. The UK Life on Mars looked good. Might check that out. I liked Mr. Belvedere 20 years ago. ECW is good. Seinfeld is good. The UK Office >>>>>>>> The US Office. Can't watch the US version, I just wish it was with David Brent instead of Steve Carrell's character because I don't like Steve Carrell and his character is annoying. And Curb Your Enthusiasm...............I used to like that show until I realized it's just Larry David being an asshole and being called out for it. Over and over and over and over and over.................... But I guess when that's all you can do to get laughs (which it's not, but that's all that show is about). Everything else sucks.




Abstain? Ehhh, I guess Baron.









Holy crap, he's still alive and well in Baltimore! But I thought he was 79 20 years ago when he was guesting on Night Court.

Not to nitpick and sound like a huge fan boy retard, but Gargoyles did deal with the supernatural in many of the episodes. While it wasn't the basis of the entire series, it had some ghosts in it. I was stuck with Gargoyles in that spot, cause I couldn't really think of another show that had Ghost in the title, expect Big Boobs McGee Hewitt and Ghost Whisperer. Yes, I could have picked cartoon classics such as The Galloping Ghost, but no one would have known that.

Filmation's Ghostbusters is clearly the correct answer.

I agree with the mini series take. However, I took the mini series with the thought that on my network, production would continue and there would be more episodes made. I know that obviously that's a fantasy, and that's obviously not part of the game, but that's what I'd like to see. Though I agree with your side. Case in point: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_Room This mini series from Sci Fi network was really cool and had a great cast. However, it was only 3 episodes and the series was never picked up. 3 episodes is not enough to validate a pick on, and it would be the same 3, 12, or 20 episodes running over and over.

Clearly you have no taste. That was an awful abomination of a cartoon. And let your answer be stricken from the record.

I was running out of options for 30 min comedy shows. I know there's a ass load of shows out there to pick, but I wanted to go with shows that I enjoyed or invested time into watching. Martin was funny in the beginning.

BB's Thursday (besides Martin), plus Sealab, Unsolved Mysteries, and MXC take it for me.

Poor Byrnie
