A toughie for me, too. I love them both, and they both have their faults. Seinfeld went on for one season too long, and had that horrible finale.

I’m also one of those people who thought the M_A_SH finale was substandard. And even though I’m a bleeding heart liberal through and through, a couple of M_A_SH episodes were just too preachy and obvious for me.

So, because it was a pure comedy through and through (“No hugging, no learning”):

**Seinfeld**

I think the other is a better show, overall, but if I’m honest about which one I’d watch given the two options, this is the one I’d more likely choose.

About 24 hours to go in the championship round…(I noticed it fell off the front, and wanted to give it one courtesy bump for those who may have missed it).

And there’s the horn…about sixteen hours ago. Anyway, I’ve tallied the scores, and despite making a strong second-half effort, the title of 2008 Least Objectionable Sitcom EVAR goes to:

M_A_S\*H!

Final score:  
**M_A_S\*H 28** , Seinfeld 24  
Congrats to Hawkeye, Hot Lips, Radar, Klinger, the late Lt. Col. Henry Blake, BJ, Trapper John and the rest of the 4077 wise-crackers.

And thanks to all who made this tourney a huge success! See you in two years for Sitcom Madness 2010! Or maybe before then.

WOW. I am very impressed and, erm, happy. Totally didn’t expect _M_A_S_H \* to pull it off. I guess _Seinfeld_ engenders more of a love/hate relationship.

Thanks for the game, **Happy**! 😃

One bump so the weekday participants can see how it ended up.

Whoop…almost missed the results. Not my all-time favorite, but certainly one I enjoy quite a bit. “Least Objectionable” fits it perfectly.

Thanks much, **Happy**!
