Movies and TV Clash of the Sitcoms: Round 1, Heat 1. - Page 2

**Rain Man** · 07:06 PM

We have 124 nominees for favorite sitcom of all time. We will have 25 first-round battles, which are a five-way war.

I will present five TV shows, and you can vote for your favorite three. The top three votegetters will move on to the next round.

And without further ado, but with a pleasant and catchy introductory theme, I present to you the first five contestants.

Edit: you maroons missed some really good shows, so the number of nominees now tops 130 as I sifted through some "best of..." websites.

Loved Night Court - one of my all time favorites.

Rhoda was a funny show - a spinoff of the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Most memorable character was Carlton the doorman. He was never shown, just heard over the intercom.

Damn I'm old.

Wow.

Thanks for making me feel young!

Big Bang Theory and Night Court are the only ones getting my vote in this round.

Martin shouldn't even move on to the next heat.

I believe that was the voice of Lorenzo Music and I was born in 75.

**Rausch** · 01-13-2012, 04:06 PM

Rhoda was the $3it.

Can't believe I didn't mention that one...

**Rain Man** · 01-13-2012, 04:10 PM

I had two easy winners and one dark horse.

Big Bang Theory is right up there with The Office as my favorite current show. It's clever and it's original. If you haven't seen it, watch it.

Night Court is a classic. You can't go wrong with Dan Fielding and Markie Post's breasts, and the rest of the cast was solid, too.

My third vote is for a dark horse. I've only seen a couple of episodes of Wilfred, but it kind of cracked me up. Offbeat enough that I think I could really like it.

I watched Rhoda as a kid when I would watch anything, and enjoyed Carlton the doorman. It was never really in my top tier of shows, though.

And Martin? Never saw it. Was it on one of the major networks? I liked Martin Lawrence when he was in his prime, so I think I would've checked out the show if possible. For some reason it completely blew by me.

Night Court has been a favorite for years.

The wife got me to watch Big Bang Theory for the first time a few months ago, and I was quite ready to hate it just from the name of it.

It has now easily surpassed Seinfeld as the greatest sitcom ever in my opinion. Not even close.

Sheldon is the new Kramer.
