Make it so? Oh boy!

It makes a change that I actually have not one, but two of my faves in a battle for first place! My favourites are usually knocked out early lol.

Ah, this is really a tough choice to make. TNG and QL are two of the three shows that made the end of the 80s and through the 1990s a pretty decent time for me.

Doh! I'll be back.

You're killing me here; first MacGyver and now Quantum Leap!

MF, you still want to cast a vote even though it doesn't matter?

**Missster.Freeman** · 23 June 2010, 08:59 AM

Ok. I will.

Quantum Leap for the consolation prize, and just to even up the votes a bit.

Thanks to everyone for playing!

I'll try to get the next one started tomorrow. Like this one, I'll give everyone 6 votes. Show is automatically in. I'm shooting for around 50 shows. Years will be from 1980-84. As always suggestions are welcome.

**Kliggins** · 23 June 2010, 08:33 PM

Congrats to Star Trek

Quantum Leap

At least, for a change, I had one of the top two.

Thanks Lonestar for running the tournament. Great job.

Favorite TV Show Tourney (1980-1984)

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 SIX 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 tourney, the first episode of the show had to originally air between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1984.

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 try to speed up the pace of this tourney and get in 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.

Well Radz already nominated several I would have picked, so here's 4 and I'll think before I pick the other 2

Danger Mouse - 1981
The Greatest American Hero - 1981
The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy - 1981
Scarecrow and Mrs. King - 1983

Radz - I absolutely loved the 3 Tripod books, but thought the 4 eps of the series I saw were only so -so. I don't remember it airing in the US.
