Kind of shocked this is available. This is upper tier stuff - even if it seems targeted to kids.

I hate to pollute the thread...
We've been on the clock for less than 1 hour as I post this. The next 3 are catch-up picks...
Then...
Gally and I have about 10 minutes before we time out, then it's Tim's pick.
Pick coming...

Hmm. I don’t think this is eligible. These were, for the most part, developed and first shown in the movie theater.

It was between this and Curb when I picked. Surprised it lasted so long. # of quality seasons was basically my tie breaker.

21.06 - Douglas Edwards - News Personality
I don't know much about this guy but based on reading he should be a medalist (or close to it).

Pick 23.02 - Dr. Gregory House (Category - 1990 to 2020 Leading Man Drama)
There is no other doctor I want on my team. Brilliant, sarcastic, funny, stubborn, and will always get to the bottom of the issue even if he has to almost kill the patient first. Just a tremendous character and a welcome addition to Team GallStein
@timschochet you are up

Hov skipped before 10am, which means you and gally were up at 10am, and timed out at 11

Gelbart and Woody Allen didn't write for Your Show of Shows but rather for Sid Caesar's Hour, which was after Show of Shows but with a lot of similar aspects. Small but important factoid. Show of Shows was on my radar as well and I was going to mention Gelbart too, but he was not a part of this one after all.
Also, it's Imogene Coca.

22.11 - Get Smart - 1950-1970 Comedy
I loved this show - Maxwell Smart was the best.
Missed it by THAT much.
I think after this pick I'm caught up except that I'm OTC - will try to pick in the next 20 minutes.

23.08 - Al Swearengen- Villian
“Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair or f###### beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man… and give some back.”
Perhaps my favorite TV character ever, Swearengen is a pimp, a murderer, and “when chance affords” a thief. He also curses with the elegance and ease of a Shakspearian Character. He’s cold, calculating, manipulative and clever. The bar owner was a total monster in every possible respect, although not without a small slice of humanity. He is perhaps the best TV bad guy of all time. Showing his humanity, however limited, made him even scarier. I just find him riveting.
The English actor Ian McShane, won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Drama in 2005 for his portrayal of Swearengen. He was also nominated that year for Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Awards, and TV Guide named him #6 in their 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.

23.10 - Kara Thrace (Starbuck) - Supporting Woman 1990-2020
At first, making the character of Starbuck a woman seemed like an odd choice. Katee Sackhoff not only made it work, but she was the best character on the show.

Dallas, 1971-1990 Drama
The following is an interesting tidbit about the show. Even during its original run, Dallas was known to have been widely watched in much of Europe, and indeed set expectations overseas for what the default "American life" was like a the time.

I’m surprised this one hasn’t been taken yet. The original Downtown Abbey. Yo Mama selects:
23.16 – Upstairs, Downstairs – Foreign
An epic, powerful show that was highly recognized and awarded on both ends of the pond. Set between the 1900s to 1930s in London, the servants who lived downstairs and the masters who lived upstairs dealt with the incredible events of their time – WWI, the roaring twenties, women’s suffrage, the great depression, etc.
This show won 8 Emmy’s (3 for outstanding drama), 2 BAFTA awards for best drama series (4 nominations), 3 writers guild awards, and a golden globe.
Knock knock knock. . . “Yo Mama!”

Yo Mama selects:
24.01 – Dr. Sheldon Cooper – 91-20 Leading Man Comedy
The nerdiest of the nerds, the smartest of the smart, the most socially awkward of the socially awkward. Sheldon was an awesome character that carried an extremely popular franchise and even spawned a spinoff with a younger, more annoying version of himself.
Jim Parsons won 4 Emmy’s (nominated 6 times), a golden globe, and 2 critics’ choice awards for this iconic character. His catchphrase is so popular it is an officially registered trademark of Warner Bros.
“Bazinga!”
