I have a suggestion, and I'm sorry I didn't bring it up in the workshop thread.
If you know me from the Movie draft, you've seen how I was on people to make faster picks---to the point of being a pain in the ass sometimes.
What if there was a reward at the end of the draft for anyone who completes the whole thing without being AK'ed? That reward could be any number of things. Maybe being allowed to drop one pick and repick? I know how that topic came up in the Movie draft, and how lots of people said they would love to be able to have a mulligan. If 100% of the GMs end up having that benefit, then mission accomplished.
Reward, not penalty. That's a good motivator.

A kiss from the commish?
It's hard to have rewards or penalties.
Life happens. Things come up. Internet dies. etc etc..
I know I've been away for more than 15 hours at a time.

While I agree this may have been a bit early, I wouldn't have called it "off the board" I love this show and have season 1 on DVD (1994) it was on my radar. Great pick!

With the 28th pick in the TV Draft, Team Legen...wait for it...dary! would like to select, the longest running animated primetime show, and my favorite show of all time, in the Animation category, The Simpsons!
I really didn't think this would get this far in the draft so I'm really excited to get to pick it. I know it hasn't been good for the last couple seasons, but it was once the best show on tv. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh seasons have some of the best episodes of the entire series. I don't think I could name all my favorite episodes without making this the longest post ever! I still find myself watching The Simpsons three times a night all week. And I don't think I go a day without using some quote from the Simpsons. I was also not sure if it was classified under the Comedy (Sitcom) category or the Comedy (Open) category so I've put it in animation for the present.
Clips (of course there were so many to choose, I only picks a few:
A favorite from CP as far as I can tell!
Someone made a youtube with every single couch gag from the entire series, that's dedication!
Favorite quotes:
Bart: I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?
_______________
[Tom Brady is riding a scooter down the football field] Tom Brady: [shouts] Everyone sucks but me!
_______________
Lisa: Dad, what's a Muppet? Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but man...
[laughs hysterically] Homer: So to answer your question, I don't know.

Sorry for the delay, but without further ado, Team Vanderlay Industries is happy to select in the Drama category...24.
Created before Sept. 11 and debuted just weeks after, 24 captured the country's edgy mood, and not just because it was about terrorism. With its breathless real-time format and multi-screens, 24 reflects the same information-overload media culture that gave us the zipper and screens-within-screens on cable news. The computers work a little too efficiently, the LA traffic is suspiciously light and Jack Bauer never has to take a leak, but Kiefer Sutherland gives Bauer psychological weight in the most outlandish situations, racing against a ticking clock that tolls for us.
