Favorite TV Show Tourney - (2005-2011)

[Fan-e-Gate]

Magnum P.I. for the win!

And I know little about TV series from the '70s. How about animated series?

And I know little about TV series from the '70s. How about animated series?

We did one at about the same time this thread started. Here.

You can always nominate animated shows for these tourneys though.

Raduzhok (and anyone else who's cable or satellite is having a dispute with FOX or other stations)

In Missouri, they just announced the MO Attorney General is looking into filing a suit against Dish Network for deceptive practices/advertising. They've got a huge (as in half a bldg tall) sign on the Scotttrade Center (where hockey is played) advertising themselves as the official sponsor of the St Louis Blues and advertising DISH as the place to watch the games. However, with this current dispute you haven't been able to watch the games on Dish in almost a month. The MO AG has given notice to DISH and is giving them till Nov 3 to respond.

[Gen Blue]

Well I got 8 shows just looking at 78-79 But I know the rest of you don't have the wisdom and age of me. So if you want to put all the 70's together, I'll go with the wishes of the group.

Or I have no problem with skipping back to current shows

Edit: Apparently I started watching more seriously in 1975, because 70-74 only recognized 1 or 2 a year. But in '75 I found 10. (10 I liked not just recognized)

My list of shows from the 70's.
What can I say, I'm even older than you.
Looking back, I wince at admitting that I watched some of these.

about the next tourney

if we are doing the 70's then I was wondering if we could get may be 12 nominations (double the years, double the nominations). Or at the very least 10 (1 per year).

[LoneStar1836]

I'll start with 10 and go from there. Make y'all suck it up and pick your absolute favorites.

I'll see how many people actually carry over from this tourney first. If we keep the same number of people that would be 100 shows, but some might drop so we'll see. I don't want a huge tourney to have to get through...at this point anyway.

I'm okie dokie with 10 nominations. Is this 70s we're going to be doing? AND when does the nomination round begin? Oh, and does everything just get pushed through to the list without 2nds, etc?

[LoneStar1836]

Yes.

I'll try to get it up in an hour or so.

And yes, I don't like fooling with 2nds since there are only a few of us.

Favorite TV Show Tourney (1970-1979)

Welcome back to the regulars, and welcome to any new players that want to join in the fun. Thanks go to Joe (teal'c2006) for getting this thread started and running the first two tournaments.

RULES:

STEP 1: Nomination Round

• Each player gets TEN votes to nominate a show for the tourney. Show is automatically in. There will be no need to get someone else to second your nomination.

• To qualify for the tournament, the first episode of the show had to originally air between January 1, 1970 and December 31, 1979.

• Animated shows/cartoons, game shows, talk shows, mini series, etc are welcome.

• Feel free to suggest as many shows as you want and then beg, bribe ask others to vote for them. Clearly mark your actual votes though.

• The Nomination Round kicks off when this post is posted. I'll give it a week or so, and we'll get started.

• There might be a bonus round. We'll see how the initial nominating goes first.

Places to look for shows:

epguides.com <---this is a good one so thanks to TS.

TV.com

Retro Junk

list of US network tv schedules

list of years in tv on wiki

imdb

If you find other good places to look, post them please and I'll add them.



STEP 2: Elimination Rounds

• Begins after the Nomination Round is complete.

• Tourney is played survivor style. Shows are eliminated each round till we have a final winner.

• Vote for your least favorite shows from the "What's Left" list each round.

• Please list your votes in alphabetical order.

• You only vote once per round.

• No tie breakers until we get down to 25 shows remaining.

• I'm going to continue with three counts a week. I'll count up the votes on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thrusdays...hopefully by noon my time which is CST US time and GMT -6:00 for the folks in the UK. Possibly sooner if I see all the regulars have voted, but I'll be counting on those days regardless of whether everyone has voted or not.

So get nominating! The next post will be updated with what's in.

And of course if anyone has suggestions or questions about the tourney, speak up.
