The Great 2020 All Time Television Draft: The Simpsons is judged the greatest show of all time (2 Viewers)

[Mrs. Rannous]

Really wish these had one or two wildcard categories. 

Can we add some?  There are some things that just don't fit the categories.

 

[KarmaPolice]

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.

Just another I've never seen.  

 

[Gally]

I think that would mean @Gally and @Charlie Steiner are back up. 

I think the clock stops over the weekend.  People can still make picks but nobody gets skipped unless they request it.  So I think @Hov34 is still "on the clock"

At least that's how the movie draft went.

My proposal: we replace the Western category with a wildcard category. 
BUT- those who have already selected a western would able to replace their picks with a wildcard pick, OR put their western pick in a different category, their choice, and nobody could draft a wildcard selection until this was completed. 
What do you guys think?

I guess I missed that.  If @timschochet agrees I can pick

I dont think that is fair but if Im in the minority. 

I have not picked a western yet

So what is a wildcard category?  You just pick anything and then it gets judged against other "anythings"? 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Pretty much.

 

[KarmaPolice]

We talking shows, characters, actors, whatever? 

 

[Gally]

Pretty much.

Seems like an impossible category to judge and draft because you have no idea what you are drafting.

 

[Gally]

I dont think that is fair but if Im in the minority. 

I have not picked a western yet 

I would agree.  I don't have a western and think we should just stick with westerns

 

[krista4]

Yep, totally unfair to people who chose Westerns with high picks thinking it was a thin category.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I have to agree.

I would just add wildcard show as a category.

 

[timschochet]

OK the nays have it. Just an idea. We will live with the west. 

 

[wikkidpissah]

you could switch out Drama Male - 70-90 (they're ALL detectives). Any cat where Betty Thomas would be Top 5 doesnt need to be there

 

[Zegras11]

I am stunned Timmy tried to change the rules mid draft.  

 

[higgins]

OK the nays have it. Just an idea. We will live with the west. 

timmy, there is a very real, equitable solution to this:  just make the new category and let the "already drafted in that category folks" to pick in the new category in the same order (assuming they agree to the change). Isn't it worth at least asking them with this brand new shiny alternative in mind?

But that still penalizes someone who took a western in the 3rd round more than someone who took one in the 10th. 
 

I say if we really want the new category we just add it at the beginning of a round (preferably an even one). 
 

@timschochet what is your ruling on skipping the drafter who requested to be skipped this weekend?

 

[Yo Mama]

I’d vote for no new category regardless. There’s better categories that weren’t used than a miscellaneous one (medical, military/war, spinoff, sports, etc). 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I think that’s fair. At my fantasy football draft we were in Round 8 and the commissioner didn’t draft any RBs. We all that it was weird until when in Round 9 he made a rule where we didn’t need to start any RBs. We were all cool with it. 

 

[Pitchfork]

@timschochet what is your ruling on skipping the drafter who requested to be skipped this weekend?

If he asked to be skipped why do we need a ruling if I did that it would be specifically because I didn't want people to wait for me/me to hold up every one else all weekend. 

 

[Gally]

Okn since @Hov34 said to skip him team GallStein makes the following selection:

Pick 13.02 - Miami Vice (Category - Action)

What's not to love?  Fast cars, fast boats, great 80's music, Crockett & Tubbs, and nice views (if you know what I mean).  This is THE 80's action show.

 

[AcerFC]

@timschochet

 

[mphtrilogy]

Happy Halloween everyone!

just my two cents since this draft is a fun diversion and no monetary value is at stake, I say we “supersize” this thing and add a bunch more categories why not?

Maybe at the end of this round so the 16th pick gets first dibs if they want....

I’d like to see:

Best legal drama

best medical show

best cop show

best military show

worst finale of all time

best variety show character/bit (ie Karnak vs stupid human tricks vs mr Robinson’s neighborhood)

wild card!

anyway, carry on!

I chose Gunsmoke because I thought I had an edge to win a category. Respectfully, this seems unfair to my strategy for that pick.

No worries we’re not making changes.

Predicting the metric for a wildcard category seems way harded for me - and therefore the odds of my pick being the top one - than Western where I think I can objectively say if Gunsmoke isn'r ranked 1 it's going to be damn close.

It’s an HBO series that uses the characters from the comic book. Was really great. You should check it out

I’m guessing he’s questioning whether that should be considered a mini-series. Seems like a regular old series to me. 

 

[AcerFC]

According to IMDB it is a mini series

So it was planned as a series, but got the axe?  Or was it just planned that way like Chernobyl?

With Acer here. It’s pretty late in the game to be futzing with categories.

EDIT: Looks like it’s already resolved.

Is a mini series just because it got canceled?

I swear, it’s like 1920s speak-easies. Anything goes for weeks and then all at once Johnny Law swoops down and nabs a dozen flappers and Rudy Vallees.

Just wait until the airing of grievances and feats of strength.  It's almost Festivus season after all.
