Sitcom March Madness: The Final Four

The Simpsons.
News Radio.

Dick Van Dyke was great, but imo, Cheers was overrated.

Isn’t it usually seeded #1 v. #64 & #2 v. #63 and put in such a way so that if the higher ranked team always wins wins, all the way down, #1 will go up against #2 at the end? Perhaps for a reason.

Anyway since the criteria were “what would I watch”

Cheers (not a huge fan of either it or News Radio, but at least Cheers had that great theme song)

Making your way in the world today takes everything ya got…

The Simpsons and Newsradio.

Tough choice between The Simpsons and Dick Van Dyke, as The Simpsons has been merely average for years now, but it enjoyed a run of many years as one of the funniest and subversive sitcoms ever.

Although I am surprised these are the final four…seriously people, you never watched All In The Family? And Dick Van Dyke’s schtick over Mary Tyler Moore Show’s writing? Geez…thankgod Hee Haw didn’t fit into the category.

News Radio - it went out on top, albeit almost forcibly. Wait, why did I vote Simpsons again then?

Gotta go with the ones that that knew it was time to quit while they were at the top of their game:

True, one could argue that NR was “forced” into that position by the death of Phil Hartman, but it’s not a given that a show ends before dismality sets in after a key cast member dies. cough8SimpleRulescough

How on earth did News Radio make it this far? It wasn’t even the best sitcom about a radio station.
