Once again, my picks are in red. **I. Family shows** All in the Family VS. Good Times Arrested Development VS. Roseanne The Brady Bunch VS. I Love Lucy The Andy Griffith Show VS. The Cosby Show **II. Workplace shows** MASH VS. Barney Miller Newhart VS. Mary Tyler Moore WKRP in Cincinnati VS. Cheers Frasier VS. Taxi **III. Buddy shows** Seinfeld VS. Three’s Company Welcome Back, Kotter VS. My Name is Earl The Odd Couple VS. Will & Grace Drew Carey VS. Friends **IV. Oddball/Surreal shows** The Beverly Hillbillies VS. The Munsters The Addams Family VS. Green Acres 3rd Rock from the Sun VS. Bewitched Mork & Mindy VS. Soap I’m a fan of neither _Arrested Development_ nor _Roseanne_, and wish each had opposed either Griffith or Cosby. Similarly, I prefer _MTM_ to either show on the first line of the workplace bracket. The rest of the choices were pretty clear-cut, though. ---

**I. Family shows** All in the Family Arrested Development I Love Lucy The Cosby Show **II. Workplace shows** MASH Mary Tyler Moore Cheers Taxi **III. Buddy shows** Seinfeld Welcome Back, Kotter The Odd Couple Drew Carey (I am picking this one because Drew Carey when it was good was WAY better than Friends when it was good, even though bad Drew Carey was way worse than bad Friends ever was. The only tough call this round, and I don’t care much for either show.) **IV. Oddball/Surreal shows** The Munsters The Addam’s Family 3rd Rock from the Sun Soap The next round is going to be a killer. ---
