Division I
Dawson’s Creek - 4, Bonanza - 13

Certainly a few upsets on the board. Check back shortly for the Round 3 matchups.
Round 2 is wrapped up, and we’ve got our Sweet Sixteen shows looking to move on today. Here’s how they match up:
Division I
Bonanza vs. Dragnet
Alias vs. Quincy, M.E.
Division II
Lost vs. Homicide
NYPD Blue vs. Columbo
Division III
Northern Exposure vs. The Waltons
Magnum, P.I. vs. The Sopranos
Division IV
St. Elsewhere vs. Picket Fences
Hill Street Blues vs. Joan of Arcadia
Interesting (or not) note – only three of the remaning shows are still in development. It looks like the 80’s are the favored era here. Will this continue, or will the current big guns load up for something like a Lost/Sopranos finals?
Division I
Bonanza vs. Dragnet (my hope to advance to the Final Four) Alias vs. Quincy, M.E.
Division II Lost vs. Homicide
NYPD Blue vs. Columbo (another Final Four choice)
Division III Northern Exposure vs. The Waltons (basketball note: Joel Fleischman said on the show that he worshipped at the feet of legendary Knicks coach Red Holzman)
Magnum, P.I. vs. The Sopranos (Tony’s paying off the refs, but I hope the ones in the next round have more integrity))
Division IV
St. Elsewhere vs. Picket Fences
Hill Street Blues vs. Joan of Arcadia (my personal favorite in what, to my eye, is the weakest region)
