The Great 2020 All Time Television Draft: The Simpsons is judged the greatest show of all time (1 Viewer)

[KarmaPolice]

WTF, I will go with a little comedy and a little off the board.  Some of the other ideas I had were shows with partners sharing the screen, but here we have an oddball lead:

16.02:  ADRIAN MONK - (tv detective) 

 

[wikkidpissah]

alright since partner is off the grid for several days (they’re taking the kids up into the moments in case the Civil War starts tonight), I will concede this one he’s been wanting for several rounds. I could use a hero right now. Walking over to Grand Central Terminal rn and it’s a weird night - every flagship retail store, hotel and restaurant in site is covered in plywood sheets. You’d think a Category 5 was about to hit. Anyway...

16.11

GOAT - Hero

The Lone Ranger

David Letterman's favorite story (54:30 mark)

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

When people foolishly debate who is the best Batman of the lesser movie wannnabes, I haughtily look down my nose at them and guffaw: “Adam West is THE Batman!  Guffaw!”  

Two of us here know that it's Kevin Conroy.

(I love this pick.)

Any chance @timschochet makes it out of the politics forum to make his pick tonight?

No

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yeah that suprised me. I had you in my head as the "movie guy" on FBG. 

I think there's some disadvantage to your passion. @wikkidpissah 's incredible passion and firsthand experience re: his picks in sports draft were an absolutely joy to read, but, respectfully, I think it biased some of his selections and he wasn't considering where certain picks may have more or less value. 

No. ####in'. Comment.

I’m going to drop out of judging for Sci-Fi as there’s been 3-4 shows I haven’t seen yet now. I probably shouldn’t have volunteered for it. 
 

I’ll still do the two comedy categories 1971-1990 and 1991-2020 as I’ve seen all so far and don’t anticipate many that I haven’t seen at least a few episodes. Those are going to be so tough.

 

[timschochet]

16. Playhouse 90- TV Drama 1950-1970

Outside of The Twilight Zone, arguably the best anthology series ever to appear on television. Featuring original screenplays that were later turned into major films, such as Judgment at Nuremberg and Requiem for a Heavyweight. The scriptwriters were legendary: Paddy Chayefsky, Rod Serling, Abbey Mann.

Dude, you are a quality judge.  Like I said - I doubt anybody has seen them all, and don't think anybody is expecting the judges to watch all episodes of each show before judging.  

 

[Gally]

Hey before you go that far let me check my judging scores from the movie draft....hahahha

I will take it. Or if you wish to stay, we'll still do it together.

Round 16.6  -  Supporting Man 1990-2020  -  Niles Crane

Having a loving, supportive brother means everything.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

You can have it

 

[Dr. Octopus]

That’s too many shows to have not seen. I have two other categories and maybe I’ll find another at some point.

 

[Charlie Steiner]

16.15: Columbo-1971-1990 drama

@Hov34 up for 2

 

[mphtrilogy]

I will team up with two other folks if they want to grab some categories, I like a 3 judge ranking system.

 

[BobbyLayne]

skip until further notice please

 

[Pitchfork]

(did I mention I got a warning for liking a post? I did. OK.)

This is so nuts. I think the goal is to just make no one ever want to go to the PSF again. 

It's pretty hilarious that last night everyone was pretty good about not gloating but one of the few who did stop by to run people's noses in the dirt was David Dodds. 

I'll make up my picks here today. 

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I had volunteered to judge for 3 categories a while ago but never heard back...

I think that they were Westerns, Villains and 1950-1970 Drama

17.02: Hard Knocks-reality

Criminally underrated show that real cops loved.

It’s the only cop show to depict what the majority of police work really is — boring paperwork and reacting to nothingburgers.

Tops on IMDb and definitely was the show I watched as a kid/teen.
