Think I'd have to sit the 80s out. The Simpsons, Star Trek TNG and MacGyver are the only things I've really seen...

On to 1985-89 it is! I'll get to work on the particulars for a first post, but it will be the basic same set up as the one we just finished.

Favorite TV Show Tourney (1985-1989)

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, 1985 and December 31, 1989.

• 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 (just make sure to verify...on like imdb...that they actually fit the rules for the tourney):

list of US network tv schedules

list of years in tv on wiki

TV.com

Retro Junk

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


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 30 shows remaining.

• I'll count up the votes on Sundays and Wednesdays...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.
