eldamo

Hawkeye, a classic sitcom that still holds up.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Chidi is indecisive and Hawkeye kicks his ass, with a 4-0 win

We're halfway through Round 1 now, hope everyone is enjoying the craziness of the competition and some of your favourites have been featured (a lot more big characters to come though).
We're even trending on the Homepage with everything moving along so fast.

The Vamp Bat or the Vain Brat...

Ectoplasm

Don't know the first so abstain I guess

TheValeyard

Dont know either,

Captain Holt instead of these two.

eldamo

Nadja, maybe this time Gregor won't lose his head.

quickbeam

I want Gob back over these two please.

The luck of the bleeding draw, but to be fair, Nadja is awesome.

Not happening. Just how the cards lay after the draw. That's both the fun and frustrating thing about these games... :rolleyes:

Don't know either of them.

Ah I know . I'm not complaining. I'm just whinging. :P

It's our right to whine!

Ficheall

Alexis. Gradually becomes more likeable as the show progresses. Also cute.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Seriously, check out What We Do In The Shadows and Schitt's Creek, fantastic shows, two of the most popular comedies of the past couple of years.

Anyway, not a great turnout at the polls for that vote, and as the clock runs out looks like it's down to me to break the tie. Both are great, but I've gotta go with Alexis Rose because quite a few here were so whiny during that one and Alexis herself is incredibly whiny, so it is fitting that she advances to Round 2

I'm glad of that short reprieve though, as I was starting to get motion sickness everything was moving so fast, and this next one could be chaotic...

Match 34

Two of my personal favourites here, I don't want to loose either of these, so I'll be watching this nail-biter through my fingers...

Leslie Knope (Parks & Recreation)


vs

Ross Gellar (Friends)

First to 4 votes wins or most votes after 45 minutes

the purple tin

Leslie and Ross were both good characters who went downhill slightly over time.
Tough one but I'll go with Leslie Nope as Ross could be too whiny sometimes.

Irish Aris

The fact that you out the "Unagi" moment!!!!

Ross, it is!!!

Ectoplasm

Leslie because she is just so darn sincere :pac:

quickbeam

Oh that is a toughie. Going to go for Leslie Knope though. I hope this isn't the last P&R character to make an appearance though.

PsychoPete

Has to be Leslie, there's nobody as passionate about parks as her

Also Starring LeVar Burton

That was a tough one to watch, and I'm glad I didn't have to make the decision. Leslie Knope advances the next round while Ross returns to Central Perk for a relaxing cup of coffee after such a stressful head-to-head, ending in a 4-1 slaughter

Match 35

I wonder can the pre-historic family man give the community college TV & Film Geek a run for his money...

Earl Sinclair (Dinosaurs)


vs

Abed Nadir (Community)


Remember to give a Reason for your vote. Any old reason at all will do.
First to 4 votes wins or most votes after 45 minutes

Ectoplasm

Abed. Coz he is cool. Cool cool cool.

the purple tin

The dinosaur was just a Dan Conner rip off really (ps why no Rosanne characters yet?)
I think Abed actually became a stronger character once Troy left the show.
The episode where he tried to work out if Nic Cage was a good actor or not was deadly.
Abed for me.

eldamo

Troy and abed in the morning. How is it that Troy is the one with the amazing career now.

Abed was so good. The way he seduced Annie (not Annies boobs)

quickbeam

Hmm, I'd have sworn Dinsoaurs was long before Roseanne, but apparently not. Three years after it.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Soon... Very soon...

Sawduck

Abed Nadir - he was the heart and soul of one of the best tv shows ever

Also Starring LeVar Burton

And with that Earl becomes extinct once again as Abed Nadir advances with ease in a 4-0 washout... It would appear that this is not the darkest timeline after all

Match 36

Some classic characters going head-to-head here, it's the much loved Danny DeVito taking on the walking talking catchphrase... "Whatchu Talkin' Bout Willis?"...

Arnold Jackson (Diff'rent Strokes)


vs

Louie De Palma (Taxi)


Remember to give a Reason for your vote. Any old reason at all will do.
First to 4 votes wins or most votes after 45 minutes

quickbeam

Don't really remember either show that well. Arnold, I think had only the one one catchphrase as far as I remember. I'll go with Louie in that case.

the purple tin

Louie. Taxi had a great cast and DeVito was one of the highlights.

sKeith

Arnold, for giving us “waz u talkin bout willis”

Yester

Louie for being DeVito.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

So do you all want one more match after this one or should I wrap it up for the night?

This match is due to finish at 22.25 if a decision isn't reached before that. I don't mind either way, so I'll go with whatever people want.

The legendary Louie De Palma currently leading 3-1 against Arnold Jackson

Yester

I missed a couple so I wouldn't mind one more.

Irish Aris

Let me vote for Louie De Palma to put this one to bed!! I really like Danny De Vito

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Right grand so, Irish Aris just settled that one, so will have one final bout for the night up in just a minute or two

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Louie De Palma wins that one with a 4-1 final result against the kid from Diff'rent Strokes, and gets at least one of the brilliant Taxi characters in to Round 2. Will this next round get one of his cast mates through...

This will be the last one for tonight. Got through so much today. Thanks everyone for joining in. Will kick things off again in the morning about 11am.

Match 37

A tough old school showdown here as the much anticipated Dan Conner enters the competition, but will he defeat the wonderful Latka Gravas, as two comedy giants go to war when the always likeable John Goodman takes on the late great Andy Kaufman... If you believe they put a man on the moon!

Dan Conner (Roseanne)


vs

Latka Gravas (Taxi)


Remember to give a Reason for your vote. Any old reason at all will do.
First to 4 votes wins or most votes after 45 minutes

quickbeam

Again, I don't remember Taxi very well, so I'm going to to with Dan Connor because he was the least annoying character on that show.

Yester

Andy Kaufman and John Goodman are both brilliant but in terms of characters I have to go with Dan. Big man with a big heart.

Irish Aris

John Goodman!!! Has to go to Dan Connor

the purple tin

It's Dan for me. Very funny character he also could do the tearjerker drama stuff really well the odd time, and he deserves something for putting up with herself for all those years :pac:

Also Starring LeVar Burton

And just like that Dan Conner gets a 4-0 win and Latka goes back to fixing cars.

Got through 28 matches today, which was far more than I expected.

Will kick things off again tomorrow morning about 11.

TheValeyard

Good Morning! Let's get right back in to this.
