Choose [u:3d2tdyq3]up to four (4)[/u:3d2tdyq3] shows that you feel deserve to move on to the knock-out round. Voting will close at approx 10AM on Friday.

This is not a strong bracket for me. MARRIED WITH CHILDREN 30 ROCK maybe JEANNIE, out of nostalgia for pubescent horniness. but that's it.

oh boy. i think the 5 shows i like the most in this whole competition are in the same bracket. married with children, night court, cheers, the office and 30 rock. who gets to be the odd man out here? 30 rock tickles my funny bone consistently. the office was on fire early in its run (though i've lost momentum in watching it of late, as it too seems to be running out of steam). i loved me some night court, regularly checked in on the bundys (moreso early than late, and i'm not sure i even noticed when they had their finale), and always parked my underage butt in a stool next to norm and cliff and the guys. i think it's going to have to be mwc just because of how far it fell off my radar. towards the end of its run, i had one of those 'is that still on the air?' moments.

ADDAMS FAMILY v MUNSTERS go head-to-head in the horror/family sitcom matchup. I vote for neither.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 01 2011 08:52 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Round 2, Group C

I only voted for two here: Cheers and The Office. I like 30 Rock, Night Court, and Jeannie, but I don't think they should move into the more elite status.

I tend to agree with Vic, and voted only for M...WC.

Tucked in amongst 30 Rock's wacky showbiz lampoon is some biting cultural critique (Liz Lemon is both testament to and grotesque of the women-can-have-it-all feminist ideal), and some of the slyest equal-opportunity political satire this side of Sahl and Stewart (see: the "Scooter" episode with Matthew Broderick, the leitmotif of running commentary on NBC's affairs, and corporate affairs in general). There's meat in there. And-- oh yeah-- it's really, really funny. 30 Rock's elite. I'll go them, Cheers (which really DIDN'T fall off as much as you remember with Shelley Long's departure, and still worked-- albeit not quite as well-- with Coach gone) and the anti-sitcom.

Surprising to hear the disparity on this bracket. Cheers and 30 Rock are two of my favorites of all time. I think both warrant elite status. MWC is not one of my personal favorites, but for the cultural significance and its long run, really deserves a vote. Jeannie makes it if for nothing else than being incredibly hot.

Cheers, Night Court and 30 Rock are easy votes here. A very weak group otherwise. I Dream of Jeannie was bland and I absolutely hated Addams Family, Married ... with Children and The Munsters. Never really watched The Office but it seems overrated from what I've seen of it.

Tough to not vote for "Night Court," which I enjoyed as a kid, but I went with the "Munsters," "Addams Family," "Cheers," and "Married... With Children." None of the others were close for me.

Not crazy about this batch.
