TV Draft - Game Thread
Welcome to the TV Draft
Here is the pick order:
1. Nich
2. ak56
3. D1abolical
4. Filthy
5. Xander
6. Zurvan
7. Dr Zeus
8. bolt2112
The Categories:
Sitcom
Police or Lawyer Procedural
Medical Procedural
Premiered pre-2000
10+ Seasons
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
Pre 2000s I'm going for Yes Minister
Very clever, very funny show.
wtf I literally searched lmao
cry found it.
the assistant for reality
Andy dick's reality show on MTV. it's legit funny, and Andy dick has a genuine mental breakdown on the show

4. Filthy
5. Xander
6. Zurvan
7. Dr Zeus

AK on deck
For wildcard, I'll take The Bureau. Amazing French spy show that I think would be on a lot more GOAT lists if it was in English. Seriously, if you have any interest in the spy genre, then this is a must-watch.
Spoiler
In the category Medical Procedural, I'll take:
Ben Casey
I don't watch this category, the only pick I've ever seen more than a couple of minutes of, is Grey's Anatomy because Mrs.AK watches it.
Only open picks are Nich, and Zeus to replace Green Wing 😃
Imma take doc martin
hilarious uk based old timey gp shop
I'm only casually following along, but I had this dream last night where someone used "Andy Dick" and "funny" in the same sentence.
Andy Dick was funny on News Radio, but that was an awesome show and incredibly well-written. Even Joe Rogan was funny on that show.
too many options for Wild Card and last pick.
I'm gonna go with a show by IASIP stars Rob and Charlie. One that stars Rob as the creator of a super popular online MMORPG.
If I'm going this path, I coulda taken Silicon Valley, which is great, but it's more well-known.
So instead I'm going to stan for Mythic Quest in case anybody here hasn't seen it. Tons of great shows on AppleTV+ for those who haven't ever subscribed (can subscribe from any smart tv/box, don't have to have an Apple device), and this is one of them.
I almost took I Think You Should Leave for my wildcard. Great sketch show on Netflix if you haven't seen it.
Pretty crazy that ER went undrafted in the medical category.
ITYSL is awesome and the 2nd largest source of my reaction gifs after The Office
I Think You Should Leave should be in my wheelhouse. I love sketch comedy, critics love it, people whose opinions I respect love it. And yet it did almost nothing for me.
It must be a me problem.
I do like the reaction gifs and memes though.
