Great pick of course Windom.

Crazy thing is, I have seen very little of the series. Netflix is going to fix that. Well done!

Can you imagine this series on cable now? Or Showtime or HBO even with no limitations?

"There's lots to see. There's nothin' to block your view."

For my third round pick, Frozen TV Dinner selects in the Canadian category, Corner Gas.


I'll add more later, but here's the opening scene of the series, which sums things up pretty well...

My pick is going to be quick, I am terribly sick right now, so Team Idiot box is proud to stop vomitting long enough to select in the category of reality elimination So you think you can Dance, the american one which is actually pretty decent, not the Canadian one with the irritating Leah Miller.
My bad - but apparently we are on the same wave length here cuz if I hadn't taken PR, I would have takedn SYTYCD (USA)....feel better!

I liked her style, I really like that 50s aesthetic, but her attitude and her laugh were horrible. I also thought it was funny though that she criticized another designer for being a one trick pony when she really only did 50s style dresses.

And yeah, her hip hop look was quite hilarious. Lots of hip hop artists wear high waisted jeans and skin tight leather jackets.

Yeah, with Kids in the Hall, Hockey Night in Canada, Trailer Park Boys, and SCTV already gone I didn't want to get stuck with the CFCN Evening News as my Canadian pick.

With apologies to Jagger

3rd pick in the TV Draft proudly select from the World Category.....the BBC cult classic production........

"DOCTOR WHO"

The Doctor: Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do then I should warn you, you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past; Aliens from the future; the day the Earth died in a ball of flame; It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: the trip of a lifetime.



Rose Tyler, a young shop assistant in a London department store, lives a humdrum and profoundly average life - until the night the shop dummies where she works wake up and try to kill her. Her life is saved by a strange man who only calls himself The Doctor, and intrigued by him, she finds herself thrown headlong into a hectic battle to stop an alien presence from invading Earth and annihilating the human race. She comes to learn that her new friend is even stranger than she thought - in fact, the Doctor's an alien adventurer called a 'Time Lord', seemingly the last of his race, who travels through time and space in his TARDIS battling evil where he finds it. And if she travels with him, she'll find herself witnessing the heat-death of the Earth five billion years in the future, meeting Charles Dickens in the past, and encountering lifeforms and invaders stranger than she'd ever thought possible. Only one thing is certain - it'll be the ride of a lifetime...

Doctor Who Theme Music - 40th. anniversary theme



Doctor Who: The Story So Far



Doctor Who: Monster Files - The Daleks



The Best of Davros!!!!

Hehe. Yeah, this one was on my list as a possible wildcard.

Nice pick, Dion, darn you.....
