Side discussion: Which bracket do you think is the toughest? Weakest?

Toughest, I think is the Workplace. Weakest is Oddball/Surreal.

Any Final Four predictions?

Workplace is by far the strongest. Oddball is the weakest, but All in the Family is the only really great family show. Of course I Love Lucy is special, but hardly up to the quality of the best later shows. Still think you robbed the 60s of their best two* though. :wink:

  • Dick Van Dyke and Get Smart.

See, I think Andy Griffith is as strong as All in the Family. It weakened once it went to color, but All in the Family also went weak after a few years (once Mike and Gloria left).
I’ll make sure DVD and GS make the 2010 brackets. I sense real pain here. :slight_smile:
