[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] I was wondering that, too. It was an odd category (the whole surreal shows group), but still…it’s hardly a great show. [/QUOTE] I was never a dedicated watcher of 3rd Rock, but it was a very well-written show and the caliber of the cast was extraordinary. Sure they had their share of clunker episodes, but it is an entirely deserving competitor with any of the contenders on this list. ---

Stop the voting! No more! Times up! Let me just finish up my cipherin’ and I’ll get you the results, and get the Final Four underway. ---

I’m probably going to drop out. I can’t say I feel all that enthused about any of the four shows that are left in the running. And we don’t even get to watch any cool beer commercials. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sitcom-madness-08-the-elite-eight/447153.md?page=3)
