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!
