Sorry, Spike, but I really cannot stand Conan O'Brien. He ruined your whole list. Besides I love Stewart and Colbert on Kingzrool's list.

D-Mass, I know you teach science, and you had some really good shows on your list, but to much science for me. Sorry!

 

[Löwenherz]

Jeopardy!, Sportscenter and MST3K beat out the only other show I'd regularly watch (The Daily Show).

As for the other match-up, The Simpsons and The Price is Right is the TV equivalent of comfort food, always in the mood for some of that.

 

[LPKingsFan]

Was going to go with tradepeja for an amazing first few picks... but 3-2-1 Contact? Really? Definitely wins my vote!

 

[Spike]

I think the 3-2-1 contact + Square One T combo is a nice pairing.

 

[Kingsgirl4]

Had to vote for the two people that really were complete Jerks the entire draft with their picks!
tradepeja- Your top ten picks were all on my list and many times would have been my next pick! Great list!!!
Spike, you ripped my heart out. Married with Children and Desperate Housewives killed me! Good Job!

 

[D-Mass]

I think the 3-2-1 contact + Square One T combo is a nice pairing.

I'm going to have to agree.

Come on, everyone...think of all you could learn from my list!

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I'm sorry D-Mass, I watch tv to get stupid.

 

[Jespher]

This was a close one. Nice list D-Mass.

Congrats Spike and tradepeja. See you in the next round .
