"What is an awesome pick I thought would slide, Alex"    :kicksrock:

A testament to the greatness that is Jeopardy! is how much riffing it has influenced in other media. Can't spotlight ... but we all know it well.

 
There are several that besides straddling almost exactly over year cutoffs we have, that I have a little trouble slotting into category.  GoT is a good example, and I probably wouldn't have thought of it for that category and when I looked at it, I didn't know exactly where I would have put it.  

 
Because of this draft, I watched my first episode of I Love Lucy today.   I also broke the seal on another show I've never seen an episode of that I am sure will go near the top.

But we have some loooovely parting gifts for you! Berzerko Bob?

That's right, Leo! A grid-five standup reheater with a smoke window (close the door and the light stays on!!); 300 pounds of Chef Antoine's Southern-fried Glimps, toasted, cubed and served before you're ready and, from Dicker & Dicker in Beverly Hills, a 9-piece mix & match Haitian refugee family!!!!!!!!!

Way better than The Wire. 
 

Honestly I know people say The Wire is great but I’ve tried. At least half a dozen times I’ve started to watch it. The most I’ve gotten is 6 episodes in before I got disinterested. The Sopranos hooks you episode 1. 

 
pick 1.07 - The Simpsons - Animation

Since its debut on December 17, 1989, 687 episodes of The Simpsons have been broadcast. It is the longest-running American sitcom, and the longest-running American scripted primetime television series, both in terms of seasons and number of episodes. A feature-length film, The Simpsons Movie, was released in theaters worldwide on July 27, 2007, and grossed over $527 million. On October 30, 2007, a video game was released. The Simpsons was renewed on February 6, 2019 for a thirty-first and thirty-second season.[6] The former began airing September 29, 2019 and concluded on May 17, 2020; the latter will include the 700th episode. The Simpsons is a joint production by Gracie Films and 20th Television.[7]

The Simpsons received acclaim throughout its first nine[8][9] or ten[10][11] seasons, which are generally considered its "golden age". It has been criticized for a perceived decline in quality since. Time named it the 20th century's best television series,[12] and Erik Adams of The A.V. Club named it "television's crowning achievement regardless of format".[13] On January 14, 2000, the Simpson family was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It has won dozens of awards since it debuted as a series, including 34 Primetime Emmy Awards, 34 Annie Awards, and 2 Peabody Awards. Homer's exclamatory catchphrase "D'oh!" has been adopted into the English language, while The Simpsons has influenced many other later adult-oriented animated sitcoms.

I am still confused - was he there for a charity golf tourney, or a charity MMA tourney of which he was a headliner?

Listen, it was like 6-8 houses ago, but OH and @krista4 were living in Chicago. In the middle of blowup #17 in that draft, he got into it with Mr K4 ( @Oliver Humanzee). He* offered they could take it offline to discuss since he had a charity golf tournament coming up in Chicago.

I always imagined it was gonna go down like this

ETA:

* @TidesofWar - who’d you think I meant? That would be some coincidence huh.

Also, my apologies for my earlier oft-colored remark. I’m under a lot of pressure with the esplanade, I was all coked up. I disrespected The Bing. It won’t happen again.

1.08 Johnny Carson- Talk show host

Give me the GOAT of late night. Johnny hosted The Tonight Show for 30 years and was and is unarguably the King of Late Night.

“For a whole generation, he kind of established the model of how cool guys behaved,” said David Letterman. In the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s, there was no competition. If anyone challenged Carson, they didn’t make it. For 30 years, Carson was the center of American culture.

Carson received six Emmy Awards, the Television Academy's 1980 Governor's Award, and a 1985 Peabody Award. He was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1987. Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992 and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 1993.

Jason, shut up, there are men talking here.
 

What’d I tell you about that competitive sheet? We are here. to. have. fun. We are takin’ stuff we like. Now I gotta un#### what you just ####ed up.

It’s the little moments like this. That’s what you should remember when this draft is ovah. That’s what you cherish.

AND I DON’T WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE ECONOMY. 

Now you get the #### back in your ####in’ hole, Davey!   

You’re doing a great job, AAA!
 

Alright, get outta here. I only got sixteen picks to get out of character. Mother####in’ GD ORANGE PEEL BEEF!

So many cultural references have been started from this show as it was unlike anything before it.

A day doesn't go by when something happens that can't be referenced back to a Seinfeld episode.

Was def true for a long, long time. 

Sometime in the last 4-5 years I stopped bc I was just getting dumb looks.

Fun factoid: I lived at Manhattan Plaza for many years. The show was conceived and the RL inspiration for one of the four characters still lives there. Chatted with him a few times. He was out there (& LEMOI.)

Its the only home my now 12 y.o. daughter has ever known. On the western edge of the theater district, everything self-contained within a complex of two 47-story towers: coffee shops, florist, gardens, gym, playground, pool, preschool, restaurants, rock climbing wall, tennis bubble. And more crazy characters than you ever thought possible.

It’s a singular life experience bc renters enjoy elements of ownership. Many of my daughters friends live in their grandparents old apt, and one day she’ll inherit the home she has spent her life...at an affordable stabilized rental rate. No restrictions on succession, IDK any other apt complex like it in NYC.

Crazy to think that Seinfeld went off the air basically a generation ago. 22 years went by in a blink.

The Sopranos enjoyed a huge surge in April, 2020. Shelter in place + HBO Go had 30 day trials. Crazy there’s still a ton of active podcast (at least one excellent cast pod that started 6 months ago), active forums with lively discussion everyday. 13+ years since the cut to black finale “Made In America.”

That's when I was finally able to watch it.  I binge-watched it and finished just before the free trial ran out. I came away from it feeling torn; I thought it was well-acted and the casting choices were perfect, but at the same time I wasn't overly impressed by it. Maybe it was because I got to it so late and didn't have to wait between episodes, so I'm not trying to bash it, just saying I didn't get the over the top hype for it.
