Regarding the attempted molester on Different Strokes, it was Newman from Seinfeld.

Dr. Sak · 01-19-2009, 08:11 PM

I will put up the voting thread in the morning.

not according to IMDB

Gordon Jump

cartman · 01-19-2009, 08:21 PM

Look who drafted Newman, and all will become clear.

Lathum · 01-19-2009, 08:22 PM

I dont get the humor in it?

cartman · 01-19-2009, 08:25 PM

I was trying to say it was the same character, to enhance his voting appeal.

MikeVic · 01-19-2009, 08:29 PM

I don't like that show at all.

Anyway, I was referring to Will and Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince. I thought Uncle Phil was one of the strongest dads I could think of. He's a good father to his children, but also takes in Will and on several occasions acts as such a strong father figure. Will, for wild card I guess.

Suburban Rhythm · 01-19-2009, 08:43 PM

No George Papadopolous pick for Dad?
Or Webster himself, I guess as wildcard, not sure where else he'd fit.

Also, a great show that was under-utilized here was Cheers. I think only Sam and the bar as location went.

If the friend category was more of a friend/sidekick, Woody should have gotten some consideration.
Or Robin Colcord as villian.

hoopsguy · 01-19-2009, 08:51 PM

Here was the list I had for "best available" post-draft. It took a lot of hits over the last few rounds.

Dad: Jason Seaver
Mom: Carol Brady
Brother: Niles Crane
Sister: Kimberly Drummond
Pet: Astro
Best Friend: Jack McFarland
Bad Guy: Ari Gold
Wildcard: Norm Peterson
Housekeeper: Lurch
Location: Arnold's Drive In

Making a family from Cheers is a little difficult. Carla works for mom I guess, and maybe Norm for dad? Did he have kids, I can't remember? Robin Colcord is a weak villain I think. Woody might have been a good friend of lead, or wild card.

Most of those are really good. Carol Brady and Jason Seaver are surprises as far as leftovers go. Arnold's Drive In I believe is taken in the whole "Wisconsin" pick.

Raiders Army · 01-19-2009, 09:07 PM

Sabrina the Teenage witch would've been good for sister/daughter. Paired with Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie...

I was seriously thinking about picking J.R. Ewing as a bad guy.

I was also thinking about Nancy Botwin from Weeds as a Mom.

larrymcg421 · 01-19-2009, 09:17 PM

This is what was left on my list at the end...

Buddy Lembeck, Charles in Charge - Best Friend
Lindsay, Freaks and Geeks - Sister
Darlene, Roseanne - Sister
Blossom, Blossom - Sister
Kimberly, Diff'rent Strokes - Sister

Yep.

Theme song

Logan · 01-19-2009, 09:29 PM

Good call on Blossom.

No love for Joey? Whoa!

Could have paired her with somebody from the Cosby Show and dominated the "opening credits dance-off" category.

Coffee Warlord · 01-19-2009, 09:55 PM

If I read correctly...I cannot believe no one took a Golden Girl.

Radii · 01-19-2009, 10:02 PM

My team based on what's left unpicked(a couple have been discussed since the draft ended, meh)

Dad - Andy Taylor (andy griffith show)
Mom - Carol Brady (brady bunch)
Brother - Danny Partridge (The Partridge Family)
Sister - Kimberly Drummond (different strokes)
Best Friend - Cockroach (Cosby Show)
Villain - Scott Tenorman (south park)
Pet - Dino (Flintstones)
Wildcard - Woody Boyd (Cheers)
Housekeeper - Lurch (Addams Family)
Location - Nantucket (Wings)

edit to add villain.

lordscarlet · 01-19-2009, 10:03 PM

I think if you compare a lot of the "leftover" picks to most (but not all) of the people that were selected, they just don't out-do the ones that were.

Yeah, this is one of those drafts where there are TONS of leftovers and past a certain point in most categories what's "better" is likely to just come down to how many of the voters were fans of these shows as a kid.

I took Dino as my pet.

I'm still trying to get over Blossom being missed. Guess it just shows that it was a bunch of guys doing the drafting. Probably why we had such a hard time with the sisters pick.

Danny · 01-19-2009, 11:00 PM

I had blossom on my list, but I took into consideration it is all guys doing the voting.

Lathum · 01-19-2009, 11:07 PM

my wife suggested Blossom

Danny · 01-19-2009, 11:12 PM

My wife suggested Punky Brewster, I considered her, but more of a girl choice also and she didn't have any siblings.

She went on to have her own show spinoff from the Jeffersons that did well as she continued the spirited snarky character of Florince who spent her days riddling her employer with jibes about everything from his height to his lack of hair.

I've been waiting since round 2 or 3 for this pick! Great value!

Dude, Blossom was hot. I'd still do her... (if I wasn't married of course).

larrymcg421 · 01-20-2009, 06:05 AM

I think Jackie from Roseanne would've been a great sister pick.

3ric · 01-20-2009, 08:08 AM

Lurch as housekeeper would have been a better pick than several I saw was taken.
