Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror or Action
Gone Too Soon
Reality Series
Drama
Wild Card
A few clarifications:
- For the genre categories, IMDB will be the decider if a show is a valid pick. Use common sense, though
- For "Gone Too Soon", we're looking for shows that were not intended to be a limited series, and that have been cancelled after a maximum of 2 seasons.
- A lot of shows are eligible in multiple categories. Declare the category you are picking in with the pick. You cannot change later
- I will not be organizing a vote to pick a winner, but I welcome someone else doing so if you're so motivated
- Once a show has been picked, it's off the board, as are any reboots. Spinoffs are still good.
Here is a spreadsheet for all the picks.
Nich is on the clock
Ok gone to soon: glow
Incredible show- incredible acting-and wildly hilarious
The moral: dont watch netflix shows with good casts. They cancel them too fast
Love Glow. Great show, Alison Brie is amazing in it, and it had three seasons so is not eligible for the category.
Didnt see that clarification dammm
Sorry, that's my bad. The OP is unclear. I'll ping EB to update it.
Someone please let me know when it's my turn. Presumably Zeus is still on the clock?
.
Lol ffs just seen it
Gone to soon:
jericho
Great show, great pick. May watch it again soon
Drama: Peaky Blinders
Wildcard: Northern Exposure
I'm taking Northern Exposure either way, but if we can squeeze it in as a Medical Procedural, put it there. Otherwise it's my wildcard.
@zurv- what counts as a reality show?
Basically...where do documentary style shows go
Drama: Peaky Blinders
Wildcard: Northern Exposure
I'm taking Northern Exposure either way, but if we can squeeze it in as a Medical Procedural, put it there. Otherwise it's my wildcard.
I've never watched it. I'd say a medical procedural is a show built on the "case of the week", with other stories happening around that. Occasionally with some episodes that step out of that paradigm, but mostly not. I'll need to trust you/others to tell me if NE qualifies
It's an IMDb genre category.
Here are all shows that are valid picks:https://m.imdb.com/search/title/?title_t...
Either competition shows like Survivor, or unscripted slice of life things like the Kardashians
[strike]Wild card, imo[/strike]
If they're in the list xander posted, they're valid for reality
In which case....
great british bake off for reality
A lot of ways I can go here, but I gotta follow my heart. In premiering before 2000, I'll take Monday Night Raw
1. Nich
2. ak56
3. D1abolical
4. Filthy
5. Xander
6. Zurvan
7. Dr Zeus
8. bolt2112
I'm gonna go Green Wing for Medical Procedural.
Don't feel great about it, don't want to elaborate, but it's a bad category for me.
Buffy the vampire slayer: pre 2000
so many great pre 2k shows, but I think i have to go with buffy
1. Nich
2. ak56
3. D1abolical
4. Filthy
5. Xander
6. Zurvan
7. Dr Zeus

ak on deck
I will take Succession in the drama category.
In the pre-2000 category, I'll take a great show which has the all-time best finale:
Newhart
I’ll take Fargo for drama
Classic Coen Bros in a fun dark comedy anthology series
For gone too soon I’ll take Better Off Ted
A funny corporate satire that sadly only got 2 13 episode seasons and not many people have heard of or watched it.
