Not going to pick apart your brackets, but there is one seed so egregious that I can't remain silent. There is no way in the world that Fraiser is a 3 seed in a bracket that contains the Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones, etc. Even Kelsey Grammer would laugh at that notion. Not even sure that show is worthy of being considered.



I agree it should be lower, but to not be considered at all, come on

Frasier is one of the most successful spin-off series in television history and one of the most critically acclaimed comedy series of all time.The series has won a total of 37 Primetime Emmy Awards during its 11-year run, breaking the record long held by The Mary Tyler Moore Show . Grammer and Pierce each won four, including one each for the fifth and eleventh seasons.

The Variety one could include stuff like Chappelle's Show, Tonight Show w/ Carson, Colbert Report, Unsolved Mysteries, game shows, etc. As part of that catchall, you could also include action shows like A-Team, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, etc.

Just spitballing here.



This is a good idea. The Original bracket is missing far too much.

I agree with Jamohn, this needs to be broken out more, it feels rushed and incomplete the way it is.

I will work on adding 32 shows and setting up the "Regions" as suggested... I really want this to happen. We need a sticky!

Starting a thread is a great responsibility. Don't do it unless you are committed to sticking with it.

How is WKRP even on this list? Then as a 3 seed.

Scrubs is the greatest TV show of all time, why do we need a tournament?

how is GoT a 5 seed over some these shows...in particularly Mad Men which at worst is a 5 seed.

A must add to the classic bracket would be The Carol Burnett Show, with Hogan's Heroes as a possible.

I don't know how Law & Order is on an all-time list?

And Justified not being seeded would be a travesty.

Jamon has a good point. I mean, can you really compare a show like Seinfeld with Breaking Bad? I mean, people that favor sitcoms over dramas are going to select Seinfeld, and vice versa.

I'd be okay with this being a sitcom/drama/variety/miniseries with 4 winners. 10 shows in each bracket.
