It's about a half-round behind ... I'm working to catch it up now.

There's no rush -- it's the overnight period. Not expecting to get through picks right now. No clock on weekends, either.

Fortunately, AAABatteries made the spreadsheet for 16 people even though we only had 15 at the time. Guess he had an inkling.

 
I have added the picks to the Google Sheet, but AAA is going to have to unlock the Player column so we can add drafter names beyond the first round.

You know, this this is the ideal opportunity to get better at work thru learning how to better manage/filter spreadsheets — who’s with me? Can we all get access/advice? Who’ll give me a ‘harrumph!’?

For my first pick, I’m going for a personal favorite that quickly became a cultural phenomenon and still remains one today. Yo Mama selects:

1.16 - Star Trek (Original Series) - Science Fiction

By my count, there were 9 TV series spinoffs, 13 movies (and counting), iconic characters, countless memorable quoted lines, pajamas and lunch boxes, action figures, inter-racial love scenes, and a horde of fanatics calling themselves Trekkies. 
 

Live long and prosper!

I think you'll need to pick one of them - they are all different shows. (that was my impression of how we're doing it anyway).

Ok, this is a tough pick but I’m going to go VBD here - trying for a top ranking pick in a category that isn’t as deep for me rather than taking something that might be top 10 all time that might finish 4th at best in a stacked category.  Yo Mama selects:

2.01 - Lucy McGullicuddy Ricardo - 1950-1970 Leading Woman Comedy

She set the template for female TV leads for generations to come. 
 

Whaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Yes, obviously taking the original series that started it all.  I’ll edit my write up.

Great choice. Was between her and the Cheers song.

Helluva freaking turn.  Breaking Bad isn't my top choice (see, e.g., The Wire), but I'm flabbergasted it hadn't been taken at this point given the love it receives here and everywhere else.  Band of Brothers seems like a strong contender for #1, too.

But it's not a good draft choice here.* It's not a clear cut number one and I agree with The Wire being drafted ahead of it. 

*Amazing, amazing show.

After kind of caring if I won the Sports and Movie drafts I plan to have more fun with this one.

BL and I took Sopranos realizing it's a deep category and as he already mentioned we are throwing VBD out the window.

Having said all that my personal ranking of the 3 is BB > Sopranos > Wire. 

All 3 are great but I've read too many opinions from folks not being able to get in to The Wire.  I had the same issue.  It took me a while to finally get through it after a couple tries and even though I loved it overall, I found the last season to be a slog just to finish it out.  To a lesser degree Sopranos kind of drug at the end.  Breaking Bad's last 2 season were the best thing I've ever seen on TV and it's not close.  It went out on an absolute high note.
