    Oh no. I missed today's vote. Apart from the departure of Stringer B over Ted, I'm happy enough with the candidates. Ready for the semis Necro.

    I'd be happy with three of those to win.

    No holds barred here as we move into the penultimate round. This one could get ugly.

    Both shows have been incredibly dominant in the earlier rounds, winning through with ease, but both came up against tough opposition in the quarters and made it through.


    Now they jockey for your votes to reach the grandaddy of them all, the Grand Final as Boardsies decide the BEST TV Show ever!!

    As much as I love Father Ted, it has to be Game of Thrones.

    What a show!

    Set the benchmark for big budget television. Those moments in the show where a character you've grown to love is killed off can't be matched. The red wedding ffs....should win on that scene alone!

    Ted for rewatchability reasons.

    Game of Thrones.

    Because it's my favourite.

    I love Ted but it's just not comparable here.

    Game of Thrones for the plotting, the backstabbing, for the red wedding.

    And of course, dragons.

    For Seasons 1-4.

    Voting Game of Thrones

    Game of thrones...it's a better show. I also feel the Ted juggernaut is going all the way so need to try halt it.

    Father Ted - consistent to the end and didn't disappoint and no big budget or special effects. GoT's quality unfortunately slid once it didn't have the written material there to base itself off and left disappointment in the end.

    I’ve voted for GoT in previous rounds but it’s not as good as Father Ted purely for the rewatchability factor.

    Father Ted for me this time

    Vote for Game of Thrones and Ned Stark. His premonition proved accurate.
