Due to a three-way tie at the back of the pack, we need to have a special run-off to determine who moves on to the knock-out round. So you can vote for [u:2ld99mo2]up to two (2) shows[/u:2ld99mo2] that you prefer to see survive in this contest. Polls will stay open for 48 hours.

Considering the fact that one of my offseason projects has been to catch up on the early seasons of The Office, I have to go for that.

TheOldMole Feb 04 2011 08:43 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

This isn't getting much better. After my vote, it's a three-way tie.

Ashie62 Feb 04 2011 08:54 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

Barney Miller only.

Edgy DC Feb 04 2011 08:55 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

Get Smart just pulled from last to first. Mel Brooks knows people.

HahnSolo Feb 04 2011 09:45 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

Barney back in the lead. Apparently the other shows have been sipping Yemana's coffee.

This pool is one step above celebrity deathmatch. So it must be good.

The Office just burst from third to first. Small point, but... Steve Carell became a star playing Michael Scott. but when he got to the top, he used his juice to land the plum role of Maxwell Smart. He knows quality. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see him star in a big screen adaptation of Barney Miller.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 04 2011 10:32 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

He'd have to play somebody with the initials MS.

dgwphotography Feb 04 2011 11:20 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

I agree with Ashie - Barney Miller only.

TheOldMole Feb 04 2011 11:24 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

And I come back to a dead heat once again.

If this fails we go to an electronic version of rock-paper-scissors

metsmarathon Feb 04 2011 11:50 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

maybe you need to run a round-robin with these three shows.

sharpie Feb 04 2011 12:02 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

My votes brought it back into a three-way tie.

Edgy DC Feb 04 2011 12:10 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

If it ends in a tie, the supporters of each show should pick an episode to put up mano-a-mano.

Throw WKRP in the mix and see what happens.

Valadius Feb 04 2011 02:56 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

10-10-10. This is nuts.

Edgy DC Feb 04 2011 05:51 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

Exactly, and what you drop becomes equally important. If this plays itself out as a tie, I look forward to WKRP breaking the logjam.

Fman99 Feb 04 2011 06:41 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

I voted for Barney Miller only as well.

Kong76 Feb 04 2011 06:50 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

Took Get Smart only. The Office is good, but far from classic. Barney Miller was almost classic (as was WKRP for that matter). Get Smart was fucking classic!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a call on my shoe I gotta take.

G-Fafif Feb 05 2011 07:39 AM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

When I'm outside and I hear a traditional phone ring from I don't know where, I still instinctively think, "Excuse me, my shoe is ringing." That's why I voted Smart.

MFS62 Feb 05 2011 07:33 PM Re: World Series of TV Sit-Coms -- Special Weekend Run-Off

The other two may (or may not) have been funnier. But Get Smart had Barbara Feldon. She got my vote, chief. Later

It occurs to me Agent 86 and Agent 99 foreshadowed great Mets years. [youtube]VzTOtcA5POU[/youtube]
