The Favorite Classic TV Shows Tourney is now underway...cast your votes for your faves!

I decided to go ahead and start the Favorite Classic TV Shows tourney a day early with the first four matches in the first bracket. But first let me explain the tourney to those who may be new to my page.  Based upon the excellent book, Sitcoms: The 101 Greatest TV Comedies of All Time, I selected 32 classic TV series to compete for favorite show as voted on by all the followers out there in blog land. I broke them down into four brackets with the top seeds being I Love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show and The George Burns/Gracie Allen Show. Then I chose the match-ups by randomly selecting the names out of my trusty easter basket which I have used for many tourneys before. I begin with bracket one featuring I Love Lucy and these match-ups:

1 I LOVE LUCY
8 HOGAN'S HEROES

4 THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES
5 OZZIE AND HARRIET

2 THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM
7 MY THREE SONS

3 LEAVE IT TO BEAVER
6 THE LIFE OF RILEY

Polls are on the right hand side bar and it's one vote per match through Wednesday. After those matches are concluded I will  post the second bracket matches with top seed The Andy Griffith and 7 more classic series. I will keep going until we get down to the final four shows in a winner take all two match set up. This should be very fun and exciting and hope I got most of everyone's favorites competing. Stay tuned! 

A new tourney begins next month....

It’s been awhile since I have blogged anything so I thought about doing one of my favorite things. A tourney. This upcoming tourney will be called The Favorite Classic TV Comedies Tournament and will feature 32 classic comedies competing for favorite TV comedy of all time. Why 32? Because with that format, things will break down evenly. To do more, I would have had to use 64 comedies which would have been a lot for one person to do. So I settled in on 32 and used this great book called the 101 Best TV Sitcoms as a reference to choose the 32 series that will be competing. I will post more details and the list of all 32 series that will participating in this tourney over the next few days with the tourney scheduled to begin on Monday, November 30^th. I for one can’t wait!
