In the Action/Adventure Category the The Cleveland Indian Head Test Patterns Select Sliders

n his basement in San Francisco, boy-genius Quinn Mallory unlocks the doorway to an infinite number of parallel Earths. During a test run, Quinn invites co-worker Wade Wells and his teacher Professor Maximillian Arturo to see his new invention. However, an increase in power and an early departure leave all three, plus a washed-up soul singer named Rembrandt "Crying Man" Brown, lost in a parallel world. Now they must "slide" from world to world, not only adapting to their changing surroundings, but also trying to get home.



Sliders was produced by St. Clare Entertainment and filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in its first two seasons. Filming moved to Los Angeles, California, United States for the last three seasons.

Great pick Flash. I actualy received the DVD for Christmas this year. Great and sweepingly accurate story.

I'm a bit of an Adam Beach fan too. Anyone who hasn't seen Smoke Signals should. Great movie.

Hopefully I'm following.

In the Reality (Elimination) category, The Channel Surfers select Big Brother.
I took Big Brother in round 4.

For those behind, be sure to search Girly's draft board. I know it's updated through the first 2 picks of Round 15 before the number of AKs caused these new rules.

Everyone keep picking until you have 19 shows on your team.
Matty I bet you thought you were caught up, but you can pick one more right away.

As was said earlier, the final Round 20 begins at 9pm MST tonight!

In the Category Soap Operas, Watching Through The Static chooses Dawson's Creek

The only shows I know from this category were long since taken, but at least I have seen a few episodes of this.



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118300/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawson%27s_Creek
http://www.dawsonscreek.com/

Quote:
Set in a small coastal, Massachusetts town named Capeside, Dawson's Creek tells the story of four teenagers as they struggle through adolescence. This is particularly true for 15-year-olds Dawson Leery, an introspective dreamer and Joey Potter, a precocious tomboy unaware of her beauty. Best friends since childhood, they are about to enter that confusing time in life where nothing is the way it was and nothing is as it seems.


Edit: What round are we in?

I believe I only have my 2 wildcard picks left to go.

For the 19th round the Couch Potatoes choose in the Medical Category.........

"Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman"



This family Western show centers on the adventures of Michaela Quinn, a doctor who lives on the post-Civil War frontier town of Colorado Springs. Moving there after her father, a Boston physician, dies, Dr. Mike, as she's called, must win over the trust of her new community, who are not exactly thrilled about having a woman doctor. What's worse is that Dr. Mike is an outspoken humanitarian, supporting the minorities of Colorado Springs and having sympathy for barmaids (prostitutes). Dr. Mike's struggles are amplified by the fact that she also cares for three orphaned children and falls in love with a rugged but handsome mountain man, the elusive Sully.

For my 19th Pick, in WildCard #1, Watching Through The Static chooses Over There

Quote:
The series followed a unit of the United States Army's Third Infantry Division on its first tour of duty in Iraq, and chronicled the War's effects on the soldiers' families in the United States.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_There_(TV_series)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446241/

An amazing show that only got a limited run. It was able to look at the Iraq war and the soldiers fighting it without seeming to petition for or against the conflict. Indeed, this was one of the criticisms.

I saw an episode or two on Showcase, then downloaded the rest of the episodes. It is a show that deserves to be seen.
