We’re down from 64 shows at the start, to the Final Four. Vote for which show, of each match-up, you would vote for if those were the only two options on TV. Voting will go until noon on Monday, May 5, EDT. And a reminder for latecomers: Bracket I was family shows, Bracket II was workplace shows, Bracket III was buddy-type shows, and Bracket IV was oddball/surreal shows. I. All in the Family VS. III. Seinfeld II. M_A_S\*H VS. The Addams Family ---

Ah, I’m so glad I don’t have to vote for something I think is stupid (like The Addams Family) over something which is arguably better quality but which I can’t stand (like Seinfeld). Thanks for that. 🙂 My votes: **All in the Family M_A_S\*H** ---

I. All in the Family II. M_A_S\*H I like the Addams family. I don’t know why everyone is so upset it made it so far. Its better than 3rd Rock (though not nearly as good as Soap, which I am still pissed about being knocked out. :mad: ) All in all, I think All in the Family vs. M_A_S\*H is a good final matchup. ---

Oh what the hell, I’ll toss in a vote for The Addams Family. M_A_S\*H was a better show overall, but it overstayed its welcome and grew stale and mawkish over the years. TAF was just a two year blip of “What the hell was _that?_” on the cultural landscape. **All in the Family The Addams Family** ---

Well, it **was** offbeat shows. It’s not like **I love Lucy** and **Dick van Dyke** (which should both be in here) were knocked out by it. That said, it’s up against a show I truly loathe this time, so I don’t feel bad at all… Seinfeld The Addams Family ---
