ROUND TWO What's on TV, ILX? It's the American Sitcom Tournament Groups 1 & 2

30 rock vs larry sanders is a heart-breaker.

voted sanders, but 30 rock is unfuckwithable.

30 Rock was an easy vote for me, because I've only ever seen clips of Larry Sanders. They were funny clips, of course, but I have no relationship with that show at all.

Larry Sanders/some show/some show/some show.

fuck 30 rock

the real heartbreaker here is arrested development vs newhart

The Larry Sanders Show, The Golden Girls, Newhart, Taxi

Golden Girls v. Monkees was the only one I had to even think about.

^^^^
Same four.

was the monkees a good show at all

^^^
Same first name (though with a k) and last name first initial

xpost

The Monkees was sufficiently goofy, but I don't know that I'd ever call it good.

I'm starting to fear for 30 Rock. ;_;

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

pity bump

The Larry Sanders Show, The Monkees, Arrested Development, Taxi

30 rock vs larry sanders is a heart-breaker.

The first two seasons of the Monkees is really a blast, and there isn't much of a precedent for that kind of weirdness on tv. I still voted for the Gals, but it was almost a coin flip.

And anyone who picks 30 Rock over Larry Sanders shouldn't question others.

re: The Monkees - early stuff is pretty ok! and i am not a GG fan at all.

No show ever had better closing-credits music than the Monkees and "For Pete's Sake."

30 Rock, GG, Newhart, Taxi

(choosing between Rev. Jim and Barbara Eden's bodaciousness was the toughest part)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

FUCK THE MONKEES!!!

30 Rock - 23
The Larry Sanders Show - 19

The Monkees - 22
The Golden Girls - 20

Arrested Development - 30
Newhart - 12

I Dream of Jeannie - 8
Taxi - 34

I mean, what?! The Monkees have taken down The Jeffersons and now The Golden Girls. Are you people a bunch of teenage girls from 1966?

Fuck 30 Rock and Arrested Development. Such abject crap.

AD, meh. I love the hell out of 30 Rock, though.

30 Rock: I watched three random episodes from the first two seasons and wanted my 90 minutes back. Except for Alec Baldwin it made me want to drive a pencil through my eardrums.

AD: watched the entire first season before giving up. So many of my friends love it and it did nothing for me, except for occasional moments from Jeffrey Tambor.

i think arrested development is glorious. also 30 rock, though i'm sad larry sanders didn't make it through...

Except for Alec Baldwin it made me want to drive a pencil through my eardrums.

I agree with AD, though. I can't get into the comedy of humiliation and awkwardness at all.

Can't believe there isn't a bigger Bea Arthur bloc.

really don't think AD is all abt humiliation and awkwardness, it has many many more layers than that.
