Maybe shorten the AK time?
I think it's a lack of interest and some not having the time to keep up with this draft. You have the hockey one running smoothly and this one dying a slow death.
Ending it would suck but like you say the constant waiting takes the enthusiasm out it. Either way is fine with me.
Team Idiot Box will select in the category World, My Family. It's from the UK, of course. I haven't had a looksy at the draft board, so I am hoping it's unpicked til now.
I started watching this late nights on YTV and I really liked it. Basically, it's a dad who hates everything and just wants his kids to leave him alone and move out of the house.
Had trouble finding good clips, the following is all I could find...
We need to keep this going. No giving up people! Just move the AK time up. There are still a number of people who pick fairly quickly so we shouldn't give up yet.
Oh, and awesome pick with Extras. Love that show in a cringeworthy way!
I do my best to be rather quick in drafting. I don't watch the TV I used to, but I still try and watch quality shows (minus Jerry of course). I have my game show and action show already picked and ready to go. That leaves simply four categories left, we're almost there

I will update this later, but in the interest of keeping things moving, Team TV Guide selects in the Game Show category The Newlywed Game, a true classic!
From Wiki: The Newlywed Game was an American television game show where newly-married couples answered questions to find out how well the husband and wife knew each other. Produced by Chuck Barris, the show became famous for some of the arguments that couples had over incorrect answers and even led to some divorces.
Rules of the Game
For the first round, the wives were taken off the stage while the husbands were asked four questions. (Many of The Newlywed Game's questions dealt with "making whoopee", the euphemism that producers used for sexual intercourse in order to get around network censors. However, it became such a catchphrase of the show that Eubanks continued to use the word throughout the show's many runs, even in the 1980s and 1990s episodes, when he could easily have said "make love" or "have sex" without censorship.) The wives were then brought back on stage and were asked for their answers for the same three questions. Once the wife gave her answer, the husband revealed the answer that he previously gave, which was written on a blue card. A match for that question was worth 5 points for the couple.
The roles were reversed in the second round, where the husbands were taken off the stage and the wives were asked four questions before the husbands were brought back on stage to give their answers. The first three questions in this round were worth 10 points each, and the final question was worth 25 points.
Originally, in the first year of the first ABC version, the husbands went off-stage first while the wives had to predict what their husbands would say. Each correct match was worth 5 points. Then the wives would go off-stage as the husbands would be asked 10-point questions with a bonus question worth 25 points, which usually decided the game. The maximum possible score, either way, was 75 points.
The couple with the highest score at the end of the second round won a prize that was "chosen just for you" (actually, the contestants had requested a certain prize and competed with other couples that had requested the same prize). Prior to taping the show, each couple was asked to predict the total points they would earn on the show. In the event of a tie, the tied couples would reveal a card showing this predicted score. The couple that had the closest guess without going over their actual total, won. If all the tied couples went over, the couple who had the closest guess would win.
The grand prize was never a car, but it could include just about anything else: appliances, furniture, home entertainment systems, a trailer or motorcycles, trips (complete with luggage and camera), etc. In the 1997 remake, the grand prize was always a trip (dubbed "a second honeymoon").

We'll see how it goes today. We've done 2 rounds this month.
Windom, Superflyer and Getbak etc etc.. should be a good pace cause they're on all the time
AK time moved up to 10 hours.
