20.15: Joe Friday-male lead, drama, 1950-1970
The template for almost every leader of men to this day. He was menace before any of us knew what it was or what it looked like, and FWIW, I think it was intentional; It has taken us 50 years to figure out how to telegraph the mannerisms he brought forth effortlessly. This is why I mentioned when Dragnet was taken that I think there's a great biopic about Jack Webb waiting to be made. Everyone labors under the delusion that Webb was Joe Friday in real life, but even if that were true, we only ever saw the tip of the iceberg, as from what little I've found out about him, he wasn't nearly as square as his TV alter ego, yet was his brainchild and image he maintained with integrity.
As you can see, it's Friday, I'm in love.
@Hov34 up for two.

the Cronkite of fake news. left-leaning tho he may have been,. he wasn't after the people or policies - just the bull####. that's where the funny lives, where the truth lives
an important figure to my gen. eager, bright, gracious & sweet, she gave "good girl" a good name
yeah, sry about that. i was a bit of an insomniac as a child and listened to a transistor radio under my pillow every night, so staying up to listen to Jean Shepherd or sneak out to the hallway to overhear a Carson monologue was a thing for me. but all that started from when i was 5 with how hard i'd try to stay up til 10 EVERY Friday night to hear the Peter Gunn theme. made me feel grown up...
great value here. big fan of children's shows for grownups

Pick 21.02 - Hollywood Squares (Category - Game Show)
Back when the celebs could drink and not have to worry about what they said. Search you tube for Hollywood Squares with Paul Lynde in the center with the banter and innuendo only rivaled on Match Game. The game was secondary to the interactions and banter. I mean Paul Lynde received 3 Daytime Emmy nominations for his "role" in Hollywood Squares. Circle gets the Square.
@timschochet you are up.

I've seen that before. More proof that Jack had a sense of humor and was able to have fun with his baby without turning him into a buffoon.

21.XX Jerry Seinfeld- Leading man in comedy 1991-2020
"What's the deal with this draft?"
I checked 3 times to make sure he was still available. I don't know if its a smart pick but picking the lead character from the greatest sitcom of the era seems like a safe choice. Even Though Jerry was the straight man he was hilarious. At the time the highest paid actor on TV.
In 2007, Entertainment Weekly placed the Jerry Seinfeld character eighth on their list of the "50 Greatest TV icons". For his portrayal, Jerry Seinfeld was nominated four times for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy, out of which he won one, along with being nominated five times for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

After mulling it over, let me grab my favorite Theme Song, IMHO this one not only sets the tone right at the jump but is used throughout the show to great effect, it always keep me rivited to the edge of my seat. So integral that the spinoff movies use it as well, although I wish they would use it more sometimes, the Cruise movies have only gotten better with each installment, an amazing feat these days.
Anyway... a great score by Lalo Schifrin as well...
Pick 21 - Mission Impossible - TV Theme Song

there's the other one i referred to (obliquely enough, i hope). i signed a band cold in '74 simply from hearing them rock out the MI theme, Allman/Betts style, for one of the best showcase numbers i ever heard

that really does sound awesome.
I love this score and have a couple of copies on vinyl as well and reach for them often. I am re-watching the MI movie franchise with my daughters and sometimes they nail it and sometimes they need to use it more, it is without a doubt my favorite theme of all time. But that being said there are 4 others I almost took that are still on the board....

twas - you could tell the two guitarists (a fuzzed SG & Strat w a slide) had watched the show a lot, because they worked caper music elements into their solos. i couldnt offer them enough now to keep them together, as happens more often than not...

21.10 - Major Charles Emerson Winchester III - Supporting Man, 71-90
A favorite. He's also probably the best developed and most interesting character on that series.

Nooooo! My all-time favorite anchor.
He used to keep all his Emmys in his bathroom at work.

I kept wondering when this would get picked.
Along with Peter Gunn Theme, the cream of the category.

Since the seal has been broken on one of my favorite shows, have to make this pick so I don’t miss out entirely. Yo Mama selects:
21.16 – Larry Sanders – Talk Show Host
Love, love, love this show. I am feeling weaker in the remaining talk show hosts, so I’m going a bit outside the box with a fictional character but I think he fits well. Plus, maybe I can get credit for Shandling breaking the fourth wall and hosting the Tonight Show (kidding). Larry gives me flexibility to move him over to comedy lead if my draft shakes out differently. Shandling got 5 emmy nominations for this role.
22.01 – Justified – Western
There’s been a ton already drafted in this category, but after the top 2-3 I think the category is wide open and this could score very well depending on the judge. Love this show too. Great acting and storylines (trying not to spotlight too much). It was nominated for 8 emmys.

Interested to see how shows like F&G and My So Called Life are judged due to their limited output. Had both on my short list.
