Clash of the Sitcoms: Round 5, Heat 1.

[Rain Man]

Okay, we have 25 shows left.

We'll have 5 heats of 5 shows each, with the top 3 advancing. One other show will get in via the mercy round to cut us to 16.

So, vote for THREE, the number of stooges you see in the accompanying photo.

[Rain Man]

Now's where it gets tough. My thoughts:

#1 - Frasier. Ah, that wit.

#2 - Friends. Good, funny show for a long time.

#3 - The Big Bang Theory. I like it, but we'll have to see if it can keep up over the long term.

Didn't make the cut.

#4 - Married With Children. Great show and Al Bundy is one of the most memorable TV characters ever, but had a pretty limited repertoire of story lines.

#5 - The Andy Griffith Show. It's quaint heartwarming humor is appreciated, but I lean more toward guffaw-type humor.

Married
Frasier



Andy Griffith

[Dartgod]

The first time I have not voted for Andy. *sniff*

Fraiser
Friends
Married

[Amnorix]

Married with Children and Friends. The other three are all very good, but I can't distinguish them from each other enough to group them with the first two.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Friends is Fail. They both start with 'F'

[kc rush]

The first time I have not voted for Andy. *sniff*

Fraiser
Friends
Married

Same vote

[Predarat]

C'mon Frasier and Big Bang, someone has GOT to knock out friends.

[Chiefnj2]

Married and Beavis are going to end up in the final 4. Planet Humor isn't complex.

Friends? Really?

Are all the metro-sexuals voting that in?

It is beating Frasier. This is a travesty!

[Thig Lyfe]

Big Bang Theory is infuriatingly overrated.

[Rain Man]

It is beating Frasier. This is a travesty!

It's hard to believe that Frasier could not only not be the top show, but could even get knocked out. Scary thought.

I mentioned it earlier, but I do think that Married with Children is a dark horse to make the final three.

[Bump]

with Friends doing this well, I didn't realize how many ladies frequent CP.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Big Bang Theory is infuriatingly overrated.

No it's not. It makes me laugh harder than any show has in a decade. That's why it's the only one I voted for. I didn't want to hurt it's chances of moving on.

[Rain Man]

I keep hearing this criticism, but I don't understand it. It's a show with six people, three men and three women. Two of the women are exceedingly attractive and the third is entertainingly quirky. Two of the men funny, everyday guys. Ross is the only kind of whiny, effeminate one in the group, and even he is generally funny. And who can't identify with Gunther in the coffee shop?

I don't see how this is a whole lot different than other good ensemble comedies.

[cdcox]

Frasier only.

If it doesn't make it, can we at least resurrect Howard Cosell from the dead to make the call?

Did you know that Frasier Crane made guest crossover appearances on Wings, The John Larroquette Show, and The Simpsons? (This is in addition to Kelsey Grammer being the voice of Sideshow Bob on The Simpsons.)

I'm seeing the Dalai Lama as a big fan of Cheers for some reason.

[blaise]

Friends is funny. I don't think it's a metrosexual thing. It was a funny show.
Frasier's the best of this heat though.

Did you know he also appeared as a Star Fleet Captain in Star Trek the Next Generation?

[mikey23545]

I wouldn't vote for Friends if you paid me. I just threw up in my mouth a little thinking about that show.

The others are tough. It pains me to not vote for one of them...I guess it will be Big Bang Theory, Andy Griffith, and Married With Children...

Sorry Frasier...

[AndChiefs]

How is Married With Children winning this?

[Rasputin]

Easy, it has the most votes in this heat. / captain obvious

That can't be it.

[Mosbonian]

Big Bang Theory is infuriatingly overrated.

To some maybe...to others we enjoy it.

I guess I would say the same thing about Family Guy, South Park and Curb Your Enthusiasm

[Rasputin]

That can't be it.

Obviously it is, obviously.

[patteeu]

Friends gets my only vote this heat. I don't really understand the hate.

[Rain Man]

Friends gets my only vote this heat. I don't really understand the hate.

If Joey and Chandler posted here, they'd be the most popular guys in the place.

And if Rachel and Monica posted here, they'd be incredibly popular and would be getting private messages all the time.

[patteeu]

And if Rachel and Monica posted here, they'd be incredibly popular and would be getting private messages all the time.

In fairness, wrt the latter, if Aunt Bea posted here, she'd be incredibly popular and would be getting private messages all the time as long as she didn't admit her age or post a picture. If she hinted at being bi-curious, she wouldn't be able to empty her inbox fast enough.

Larry, you only got basic cable.
You think I'm jacking off to Aunt Bea?

[Rausch]

Did Joey score 4 TD's in one game back in high school?

I didn't think so...

[whoman69]

We're getting to the big boys now.

Yes it is. Go eat a mountain of dicks.

[Predarat]

Lets go Big Bang, make a comeback!

[vailpass]

Big Bang Theory is infuriatingly overrated.

You said the same thing about heterosexuality and look what that got you: socially outcast and a blown o-ring.

Actually, he pretty much nailed it.

Peter Griffin speaks for all guys.
Larry David speaks for the inner asshole in all of us.

I seriously question the motivation of any guy who doesn't get at least one of those two shows.

Yes! Well done!

[patteeu]

I would think that the social outcasts who like BBT because of their fantasy that a goofy nerd can get the hot chick across the hall would also like the Ross/Rachel thing in Friends.

[DJJasonp]

Goooooo BUNDY!

[Rain Man]

Hopefully those people didn't get upset and leave when the goofy guy/attractive woman in King of Queens was eliminated, or when the goofy guy/attractive woman in Everybody Loves Raymond was eliminated, or when the goofy guy/attractive woman in Get Smart was eliminated, or when the goofy guy/attractive women in Welcome Back, Kotter, was eliminated, or when...

[Zebedee DuBois]

I'm still stockpiling unused votes. I'm waiting for the final rounds to throw an upset

[whoman69]

Only 5 votes between 2nd and 4th place.

[DomerNKC]

Friends? Really?

Are all the metro-sexuals voting that in?i am absolutely not a metrosexual, and Friends is awesome.

[DomerNKC]

[RealSNR]

Did people really watch Married With Children? I've never seen one goddamn episode.

[RJ]

Andy Griffith is the class of this field but sadly looks to be going by the wayside.

[whoman69]

You're just the worst kind of person

I liked it that one time when Ross goes "Can you be any more ________________"

Big Bang Theory is infuriatingly overrated.

I just like the blonde chick...Only reason I have ever given that show any time whatsoever

Married with Children must be stopped!

Wow. Kind of a surprise ending as Big Bang goes out with a whimper. And Andy goes down like a smooooooth piece of apple pie.

Married with Children, Friends, and Frasier make the cut.

R.I.P the best TV character ever, Barney Fife.

Hopefully you will have a "2nd chance" vote for the losers of this round too....I want the same equal opportunity for BBT that Curb Your Enthusiasm got...

TIC....I was making light of the fact that Curb seems to have enough of a following that they keep getting a last minute reprieve.

Hey I didnt vote friends and I only watched it because my wife and her friends enjoyed it.
I sat back and enjoyed watching courtney cocks..er Cox when she was still hot.
Of course her best look was in Ace Ventura.

Married with Children then Frasier in this list.

[Backwards Masking]

Married With Children all the way. Nothing but All Stars on that team.
