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
Oh i didnt check sorry- i thought itd be always action
There's a common sense clause in the rules though. If consensus is that people are fine with it then I'm fine with it too.
just take it in a different category? or repick?
I don't know if I'm up or not.
I think the spirit of that category should include Band of Brothers, and War in general. Anybody have any objections to expand that category to include War as a genre?
I'd have picked BoB there
I think zurvan should be the boss. it's good to have a boss in games like this. I'm good with what zurvan decides... but i'd recommend just going by IMDb to avoid trouble over future picks
Moving along, I'll take The Shield for my Police Procedural.
And I'll open up round 4 by taking Seinfeld for the Sitcom category.
Right sitcom thinning out....
Time to grab the office us version before im left with choices like [redacted] and [redacted]

Xander on deck
I think it's now time to answer Filthy's question from before, about a show that was a global sensation.
It spawned a multitude of mediocre to bad copycats. It spurred endless discussion online, as people tried to figure out the answers to such pertinent questions as "why is there a polar bear" and "what the **** was that ending all about". In between that, though, we got something new for TV - a show where every episode mattered to the story. It got lost a little bit here and there, but overall was a fantastic story.
I'll select LOST in SFFHAW
I think this one is going to have to go in the Wild Card category as it doesn't fit anywhere else.

If you've not heard of this then oh boy are you in for a treat.
The show is a sketch show from the mind of Chris Morris that makes BrassEye seem like a children's show.
I'm going to link a few clips, but do not watch them if you're easily disturbed, upset or triggered. None of these are safe for work or easily offended company.

Seems like that could’ve been saved for your last pick of the draft, but maybe I’m wrong.

I'll take Justified for police procedural.
Just realised both the people in front of me have already done that category. Oh well.
oh I forgot about justified. great show! even if it was an unstrategic pick lol
probably not too late to change your pick
I just watched justified over the summer. Outstanding show.
👍
Don't really have a strategy but I'll pick the original Twilight Zone In the Sci-fi category.
Lets gooooo
Shall we skip and move on?
