The WZ Sitcoms Tournament

[Cena's Little Helper]

So, today's the 17th. Here's what I plan on doing for the WZ Sitcoms Tournament:

Tonight: All first-round match-ups in the 80's region start.
Tomorrow: All first-round match-ups in the 90's region start.
Saturday (19 December): All first-round match-ups in the 00's region start.

All match-ups are open for four days, and these will take us into the 23rd. We'll have a two day break for Christmas, then we'll do second-round match-ups, which will all last for four days. Then, we'll take another two-day break for New Year's Eve and Day before starting the third round on 2 January 2010.

Are you saying that Dad's Army isn't going to be in the tournament?

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

Talk to IC about that one...I don't know if we're doing any more match-ups in the 50's/60's region.

 

[The Doctor]

Dad's Army was the greatest show ever. I was ready to fight tooth and nail for it.

Oh well...

 

[Tenta]

This has been a great tourney. I'm probably going to get more involved in the 80s, 90s, and later rounds of the 70s. When Happy Days and The Jeffersons meet, I will go bat shit crazy for campaigning The Jeffersons

you kicked dads army out? bullshit

Talk to IC about that one...I don't know if we're doing any more match-ups in the 50's/60's region.

Due to the smaller number of sitcoms in the 50's / 60's region, something like 10 of them got first round byes. I'll post the ones that got byes soon. If you notice, "I Love Lucy" wasn't featured, because they got a bye. It's possible your Dad's Army show was one of the shows randomly selected for a bye.

 

[The Doctor]

"Your" Dad's Army? I don't like the sound of that...

 

[Leafy]

PBS is having a documentary on sitcoms, might watch it to learn of these old ones.

 

[The Doctor]

Good idea. When is it on, Leafy?

 

[Leafy]

It's starting right now but I'm sure they'll show it again

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

What's it called? I'm going to look that up.

 

[Leafy]

It part of the Pioneers of Television but they focused on Sitcoms. It wasn't as diverse as I thought it would be so it isn't a must see.

Mr Flibble says vote for Red Dwarf!

Or he will fry you with his Hex vision!

The 00's region will be up tonight, after I do some shoveling outside. Also, if you have PMed me about why a particular show wasn't selected, here's the answer: it got fewer votes than other shows in its region, or people placed it in the wrong decade/region.

Unfortunately, we worked this tournament out from the bottom-up. We probably should have done it the other way around.
