Archie Bunker is one of the greatest characters in TV history.
Actually 2 spin offs.

I've created a Google spreadsheet to keep the picks straight.

I've opened it up so that anyone can edit or view so help yourselves.

Thanks for that...I've been keeping one open on my desktop, now I don't have to.

I'm anxious for the next pick to be made, because with you online I might be able to make my first pick tonight.

Ah.....I was right!

Vaguely remembered...so vague I wasn't sure if maybe I had manufactured the connection!

Thanks Barnes!

There are actually two other spinoffs aside from the obvious two...however I doubt we'll be seeing either of them in the draft!

All in the Family actually had 4 direct spinoffs (2 of which had spinoffs of their own), plus one that wasn't really a spinoff so much as it was a "re-imagining" set in the Bunker's house years after Archie had moved on (it was canceled after 5 episodes, so I don't anticipate it being chosen).

With the 10th overall pick in the draft, Ro selects Six Feet Under in the Drama category.



Ro will have to provide a more detailed description when he gets back.

Love the Six Feet Under pick, never watched it until recently and went thru all five seasons in 3 weeks. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. Loved the ending. Brilliant!!

Not sure who's watched Alan Ball's new show, but True Blood is on between Entourage and Dexter on Sunday and it sounds silly on the surface, but it's actually pretty damn good. Very funny stuff and an interesting premise.

With the 12th overall pick, Team Sequoia is proud to select, in the Action/Adventure category, LOST.

The basics from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_(TV_series)

The rest from Lostpedia: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page



"After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of a mysterious creature stalking the jungle, as well as a polar bear, a marooned and possibly crazy French woman, a mystical boar, a mysterious group known only as "The Others," a ship called The Black Rock and... a hatch."

Currently one of my favourite shows on TV, so I'm pretty happy I've been able to select it.

Awesome draft, I wish I was in this one. But is it really not a snake style system?
IMO thats pretty unfair, as HD is going to have much better odds than proto of making a good team.
But hey Girly you have a lot of experience running these things, so I should just trust the expert.
