Best TV Show EVER - Boardsies Decide: Tournament Thread

Necro

Well hello there all.




The time is nearly upon us as we kick off what is sure to be a divisive topic.

Friends will become enemies.
Rivalries may have to be put to the side for the common good.

All that and more as you, the people decide through way of a 128 TV Show Tournament which is the BEST EVER (as decided by Boardsies).


Now when taking on this topic I thought - grand, I might get 20 or so PMs, we'll have a quiet tournament and people will probably complain that X wasn't nominated, or Y was omitted and I'm a disgrace and we're all a crowd of lunatics, etc, etc.


Well... no sirree.

In total we have had 51 entrants nominate their top 5 TV shows.

Which means that I have been compiling for the past while... 255 TV shows. Some nominated more than once, others with just the one mention.

A mammoth task needed some help - and duly can you all please welcome our friendly Forum Mod

As the co-runner of this tourney. She's here to whip you all into shape in my absence when this gets started, and to keep me honest with my compiling :pac:


Anyways




The rules:

• 64 first round matches.
• Pick one of the TV Shows and decide which you prefer. Give a reason. TV Shows where no reason are given won't be counted. All valid posts will be thanked.
• First to 7 votes goes through to the next round. Depending on volume of voters/contributors, this may increase exponentially by 1 vote each round.
• One vote per player per match.
• Anyone can vote, even if you hadn't submitted your entries.
• Battles will last as long as is necessary for a TV Show to gain 7 votes.

Youre wrong my tv show is best.

Might as well say it now wont get much chance in the later rounds lol

64 first round matches.... out of 255 shows? How did you whittle it down to 128 shows?

Multiple nominations helped that

If The Big Bang Theory wins I’ll quit boards for good and eat my hat while doing so.

The "reason" rule is needlessly discriminatory towards those on mobile, those who suffer from old man hand, those who are only able to vote when their wife thinks they're putting the bins out, and those who can't help but be pointlessly verbose.
Why do you hate me?

Do you want the full list or just a TLDR

It's mainly to avoid drive by posters dropping a vote and sparking outrage when EastEnders beats Star Trek: TNG as an eg. (Disclaimer: both shows mentioned may or may not be included)

But... if people want it removed for round 1 only, let me know.

It will be in place from last 64 onwards though.

quickbeam

Nah. I’m for reasons all the way through.

Banjo

Ok but in a race to 7 can you give posters of proven non-spoiled vote pedigree who drop a vote and edit in the reason after the benefit of the doubt?

I reckon we can manage this

TheValeyard

Can we blame QB?

quickbeam

Might as well. I get blamed for everything around here.

That would be a negative. They'll be released as the matches are. But rest assured, if you nominated a show - it's 100% included.

All the good things about this competition are thanks to Necro. If there are any fvck ups they’re on me

I missed the voting thread but hoping to see

Murder she wrote
Diagnosis Murder
Home and away
Star Trek : TNG
Homicide : Life on the street.

I would have had NCIS in there as the first 10 seasons were excellent but it all went massively downhill when Côte de Pablo left the show

False Prophet

My douze pointe goes to chickatees.
