Nick at Night - way too much time spent watching that in college. And yeah - Alex Keaton is one of my favorite characters - ever.

[Crapshoot]

Speed Racer was pretty damn cool.

I would have said "The Entire Mammoth Car" episode. That was the coolest! My melty noise is still based on this episode.

Gluck,gluck,gluck, gloo, gloo, gloo, GLOOP, GLOOP, GLOOP!

and it was pure GOLD!

[JonInMiddleGA]

Mammoth Car was very very good as well, a classic episode, but it lacked the emotion oomph of the reveal.

P. S. - One of only two deaths of famous people that I actually cried over. I even cried yesterday when I did more research on him before deciding that he absolutely deserved the pick.

Sachmo71 is on the clock

The time-limit rule is in effect.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Schmidty -- I've just PM'ed you an updated draft list. It replaces the previous one entirely & should contain more than enough to get me all the way through to the end.

[Schmidty]

Ok, recieved.

I'm interviewing until 5 or so tomorrow. In case its my turn to pick before I come back, just use a list I just pm'd ya to make my selection. Thanks!

-Anxiety

[sachmo71]

7.10 Moment, Drama, Laura Palmer's killer revealed (Twin Peaks)

Twin Peaks was a cultural phenomenon in the early 90's and helped launch the "quirky" genre in television.

8.1 Performer, Other, Judge Wapner (People's Court)

Judge Wapner was one of the most recognizable judges in the country for almost a decade, and the show launched a cr.. a genre of similar shows which still run today.

[sachmo71]

Huh. Lost was avaliable.

Huh.

[Raven]

Schmidty, I actually sent you an updated list.

my pick should be
Moment, Drama - When we found out Locke was in a wheelchair before the plane crash (Lost)

[Schmidty]

Oops, my bad.

[Schmidty]

Moment, comedy - "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" (Chappelle's Show)

Funniest skit (to me) on one of the funniest shows ever.

[Crapshoot]

holy shit - that's brilliant. Great pick Schmidty - I don't think I've ever laughed quite as loud at a TV show.

[Schmidty]

Thanks man. I love that show, and that skit literally made my stomache hurt from laughing so much.

[Schmidty]

Anxiety is now on the clock

The time-limit rule is in effect.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Okey-dokey gang, I'm out of pocket the majority of the time now thru Sunday night.
Schmidty has a pretty long & detailed list from me, I should be squared away thru the end of the draft.

I'll try to check online between now & tomorrow midday sometime (possibly tonight late) but I'm pretty sure I'm good to go on the TV draft.

[Crapshoot]

yeah, I'll try and put together a list since I'm going to be out most of the weekend - unless I get my 8th rounder by 5 today.

[Abe Sargent]

I tried to get the Bob Newhart Show, but that was vetoed since the Newhart moment, despite being a different show, referenced it. I think this list has shown the influence of an overly male population. I think this next show would be highly touted on a largely female board and would have gone first or second round, so:

8.4 Show, Other - The Oprah Winfrey Show

-Anxiety

I totally screwed up this one. I didn't realize that "The Bob Newhart Show" was a different show than "Newhart". I feel like a dumbass.

If Anxiety wants to change this pick, I will allow him to. I will also reserve "The Oprah Winfrey Show" for him until 10th round if he decides to change his current pick. Furthermore, I will also reserve "The Bob Newhart Show" until the 10th round if he decides to keep his current pick.

I am very sorry for the confusion and hope this doen't screw up the draft.

[Schmidty]

Since I screwed up, I am going to give Anxiety until tomorrow morning.

[Abe Sargent]

I'm good. I'll keep the Oprah pick and we can just say no one gets The Bob Newhart Show so taht way I don't essentially get two eighth round picks.

-Anxiety

[Schmidty]

Via list, kcchief selects:

8.5 Other, show - Nightline

[Schmidty]

ThunderingHERD is on the clock

Since this is the weekend, the time-limit rule is off.

[ThunderingHERD]

Performer, drama - Peter Falk (Columbo)

[sachmo71]

Come on, peoples!

[Crapshoot]

sweet - is it my pick ? I give Schmidty a list, but I'll pick instead:

crap. sorry - I forgot JIMGA goes before me.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Originally Posted by Crapshoot

If I've figured it out right ... that means I'm next

I'll go ahead with the pick that's next on my list (Schmidty, just drop down to the next category for my 9th rounder if I'm not around)

Pick 8.7
Performer, Other, Walt Disney (for Wonderful World of Disney)

[Crapshoot]

8.8 - Moment, Drama - Law and Order - the death of Claire Kincaid

[WSUCougar]

Nice. I was thinking of taking the show as an "Other" pick myself.

[Schmidty]

Nice. We've got this thing back into the groove now that SB weekend is through. Sorry for not making picks from lists sooner.

[Radii]

picking shortly

[WSUCougar]

Never mind, that wasn't it.

[Schmidty]

Great pick. I've almost taken it for like 3 rounds, although I was going to take the moment when Big Bird and the children find out that Mr. Hooper died. I still remember that.

[WSUCougar]

8.10: Show - Other - Ken Burns' Civil War

The popularity of this fine documentary was/is mind-boggling, and the Civil War knowledge of countless Americans begins (and probably ends) with this program.

9.1: Moment - Comedy - Fawlty Towers

The scene when John Cleese is trying not to mention the war in front of the German guests at the hotel.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,

To thine own self be true.

[Crapshoot]

I gotta admit, I've never seen the appeal of Gilligan's. It just seemed really - corny, as it were.
