Somebody only voted for the ober/KnuckleBuckett matchup. I don't know if that was on purpose or not but if it wasn't you can edit your vote and add in selections for the other pairings.



I picked ober and micah easily. I almost voted for PJ until I saw my beautiful list below him. kermi and Perspective both have strong entries, either could have gone far. But I had to go with kermi's since it has a ton of shows I've watched and liked.

[kermi3]

ober - really hard choice, but more depth for my taste
PJ- his top 4 include 3 of my favorites
micah - hard choice based on ST TNG and Arested Development
kermi3

[-KEN-]

I'm just going to write this stream-of-conscious as I vote.

Ober takes the red because of Entourage (Animaniacs didn't hurt either).

PJYelton wins largely for 30 Rock, but charlie's inclusion of South Park was tempting. The tie-breaker went to PJY because of MST300 (fuck yeah). Charlie -- Real World, reallly? Well, OK, actually, it would provide hours of judgmental entertainment ("Even though I'm on a desert island, at least I'm not on the Real World."); I'd still rather watch MST.

Micah got me because of Arrested Development, Duck Tales (I can still hum the theme song in my head) and STTNG, but Axon's promises of vampire-killing badassery and teenage drama in Buffy really made it a nail-biter.

Perspective beat the ever-loving piss out of Kermi3 with that list. Sorry buddy.

I think I'm voting on the idea that I'd need a LOT of comedy in my life if I were stuck on a desert island.

[kermi3]

  :suicide:Hurts right here buddy. Right here.

[micah]

my formula is basically to asign points.

-1 point if its a show I can't stand (rarely used)
0 points if I never watched the show or only saw it a couple times.
1 point if I its a show where, were I flipping channels and it was on, I would watch it.
2 points if its a show I really like
3 points if I wish I put it in my draft.

it seems fair for now... but I'm sure I'll throw that method out the window as the draft votes get more emotional based. LOL

[PJYelton]

Wow, I thought the race between me and Charlie would be closer.

So what happens if there is a tie??

[charlie]

So what happens if there is a tie??

I dunno. We do a tiebreaker. One option is to have each player pick the top 2 (or 3 or 4) shows and we vote on those. Another option is to have each player pick an additional pick and we vote on those. We could make them fight with pogo sticks. Or maybe it's time to declare a thumb war?

[ober]

THUMB WAR!
