Default Battle of the TV Shows - Firefly never makes the 64, and Seinfeld unfortunately wins.

Ever wonder what everyone on here on CalgaryPucks favorite show are of all time? Well now it's time to find out. This tournament will be done college basketball style with 64 shows in total and 4 regions and 16 shows in each region.

To start off I have listed over 100 shows and all you guys/girls need to do is vote for shows that you think deserve to be in the top 64. This will determine the seedings and then we can go from there. Hopefully you guys will take part in this and we can all find out what shows people really like.



Just doing 2 divisions for now. Will keep voting open until the voting slows down or 48 hours.

So is the vote for the greatest show of all time, or just our favorite show(s)? For example Game of Thrones would likely be one of my favorite shows, but it's still too early to rank it as one of the greats imo. The same can be said with TWD and a few other shows on right now.

Hmmm, well if you're going to include Band of Brothers (a miniseries) I think you gotta include Planet Earth as well. Planet Earth might be as good as it gets.

Basically right now all you need to do is vote for shows that you think deserve to be in the tournament. This will also determine the rankings. After that is done then I will set up all the matchups. So it would be something like

Game of Thrones vs Mad Men and you vote for who you think wins that matchup.

You have Smallville in there twice.

Also, aren't the two Spartacus' basically the same show, just different seasons?

I was going to complain about no Quantum Leap... But it was there.

If someone votes for True Blood, can you tell me so I can kick them in the balls?

My only complaint is that 'Southland' isn't on there. Not really surprising though as the marketing seems terrible and barely anyone knows it exists.

I did. But I doubt you could kick me in the balls.

That's kind of mean considering you were the one who said 'if you aren't watching this show you should be!!!'

I couldn't find Manimal or Cop Rock. Survey is therefore invalid.

One my biggest CP regrets. I posted that after season one when the show was fresh, funny and cool. Then came five seasons of pure garbage. Show is such a mess.
