Zow picked an hour ago, so I'm going to pick because I'm about to open a bottle of wine and jump in the hot tub with the Missus.

12.07 - The A Team - Action show

Yea, it's cheesy as heck. And nobody ever dies. But it was the 80's, and we all loved it anyway.

I love it when a plan comes together.

This show did the most damage to gun safety of any show ever. The characters shoot worse than stormtroopers.

12.09- Olivia Benson- leading actress in drama 1991-2020

The character first appeared in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit pilot episode, "Payback", which aired September 20, 1999. Hargitay remains the only original cast member still present on the series. Benson has been credited in 478 episodes of SVU (486 in the franchise/universe). With the premiere of season 21, Hargitay's Benson became the longest running prime-time live-action character of all time, surpassing the record held by Gunsmoke's Marshall Matt Dillon and Kelsey Grammer's character.

 A 2015 poll released by Trailer Park, Inc. in conjunction with QC Strategy ranked Benson as the No. 1 "favourite female television character

It's cheesy, but it was (imho) the best pure action show of the 80's. You got three good fights every show. The first short one where the A team said "there's a new sheriff in town" and sent the bad guys packing, then the second one where the bad guys adapted and gave the A team trouble (and maybe even captured one. Oh no!), then the third one where the A-team had a "plan" and won the day. Hooray for the A-Team and hooray for the 80's!!

12.11 - Frosty the Snowman - Holiday Show

When I looked at this category I saw 5 top tier picks and then a whole lot of garbage.  After this one it kind of falls off of a cliff, IMO.

We always made a point to watch this one each year with the kids and every time we would get snow - which isn't often here in Atlanta, the kids would try to make a snow man and dress it up like Frosty - With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

I am catching up on everything post round 4. Here are my favorite picks per round

5 TIE

Donald Draper Well, I hate to break it to you, but there is no big lie. There is no system. The universe is indifferent.

George Costanza  You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect.

7

The Chapelle Show Listen b-----, I'm Rick James

8

Michael Scott  I love inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one someday.

9

Roger Sterling Have A Drink, It'll Make Me Look Younger.

10

Alex P Keaton People who have money don't need people.

11 

Taxi     Hey, Bobby, I hope someone slams a door on your face, you sneeze, and your head explodes.

 
No idea where this falls on the VBD list but its the only person I have thought of for this category, so Im just going to be done with it and not worry about being sniped.

Juuuuust a bit outside

I must be in the front row!!!

12.14 Daenerys Targaryen, leading woman, drama  1991-2020

I’m going back to the Game of Thrones well again (it’s my 3rd pick!) for the Mother of Dragons,  but she’s such a fascinating character, perhaps the most interesting in the entire series. I realize that the final season, in which Dany was shown to be rather monstrous, disappointed and angered a lot of fans, but that facet of her character, including her indifference to the taking of human life, was foreshadowed from the beginning of the show. I personally thought she was consistent from beginning to end.

What is drafted may never be drafted again

 
Pick 12.15 - Jack Buck (Category - Sports Play by Play)

Team GallStein really wanted Al Michaels for this pick but waited one round too long.  So instead we will take what we think is the last for this tier in this category.  Buck did it all calling MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA and even bowling.

One of his most famous calls was the Kirk Gibson HR winning game 1 of the 1988 WS......

"But, we have a big 3–2 pitch coming here from Eckersley. Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, five to four; I don't believe what I just saw!"

So with that its on to @Hov34 for two picks

Fantastic character for the first dozen seasons or so. 
 

Insufferable in recent seasons.

Taxi might be the best TV show of all time BTW. The talent, the balance of comedy and pathos, the ingenuity. Anyone who hasn't watched it should. My wife and I are on our first rewatch (we watched it 15 years ago when we were dating)  and it still hits every note. The sitcom hit its artistic and comedic high point with Taxi.

I took Spock for 50-70, he was put in 70-90, I'm okay if that's where people think he belongs. Can definitely make that case, I just went 50-70 for VBD

I don’t think either is OK. Star Trek ran from ‘67-69 so Spock belongs in 50-70. Phyllis first appeared, I believe, in 1971.

11.3 Keith Jackson- play by play 

“Whoa Nellie!” 

Most of the picks so far in this category, excellent as they’ve been, have mainly been regional or local selections- even Vin Scully, whom I worship and who briefly had a national presence, was mainly a Los Angeles guy. Keith Jackson, especially when he announced college football games (his speciality) was the voice of the nation. 
Growing up, college football was my favorite sport, especially the great rivalries- and when I watched Michigan vs Ohio State, or Nebraska vs Oklahoma, or USC vs Notre Dame, inevitably Keith Jackson was calling the plays.

You are looking live... just hearing him say that as he introduced a big game at the Big House gives me chills

For me there are a lot of shows that blur the lines, especially this one, but "drama" is pretty all inclusive.   Not much from this time period I remember as a kid, but this was one, and like Twilight Zone, I think it still holds up damn well today:

12.02:  ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS ('50-'70 DRAMA)

I absolutely love this pick and wish I'd remembered it.

the show that found me my irony. i like Dragnet, still watch it (5:30am on Me-TV, i think) and @Encyclopedia Brown and i are big fans of some of the monologues (this one especially). by the last coupla years of the show, though, i'd done some of the things Sgt Friday railed about, knew how harmless and possibly productive they were and i was just ready for the The Big High episode. rarely has a television program ended more tragically, but i was rolling on the floor laughing like they were fishslapping ballerinas. we were a one-TV family in those days and you can imagine how my peeps' view of their altarboy son changed to watch me giggle at drowning babies as though it was Moe boinking Curly's eyes out. the world changed that day, my friends...

That show was hilarious.  Like Reefer Madness with more seriousness.  You think she did a doobie in the middle of bathing the kid?  I thought he was going to wander into traffic or something plausible.

If you were going to say that you never got the love for this, we may have our first agreement.  So dull and annoying.  Even Friends is more watchable.
