MOUNTAIN BRACKET <b><br style="background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252); color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; "></b>1) The Simpsons vs. 16) Boston Legal -Easy pick here. I like some of David Kelley's work (The Practice is probably my favorite legal drama of all time), but Boston Legal was too soap-boxy for me. Also, The Simpsons is awesome. 8) House vs. 9) Oz- Stopped following House around season 6, but I really enjoyed the earlier seasons, and even seasons 4 and 5 had their great moments. Oz is ok, only watched a few episodes, but House wins here. 5) It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia vs. 12) Deadwood- Deadwood is in the conversation for my favorite television show of all time. I really like Sunny, but there are few shows in this tourney that I would even consider voting for over Deadwood. 4) The Sopranos vs. 13) Father Ted - The Sopranos is my third favorite HBO series of all time, and I mean that in the best way possible, since the other two (The Wire and Deadwood) are two of my favorite shows ever. Never watched Father Ted, but I doubt it would beat Sopranos. 6) Firefly vs. 11) Smallville- Meh, didn't enjoy the bits I've seen of Smallville, and I will probably never get into it just because of how long it is. I'm a browncoat all the way though, so Firefly wins for me here. 3) Dexter vs. 14) Louie- I like Dexter, especially season 2, but I love Louie. One of the funniest and most interesting shows on TV right now. 7) 24 vs. 10) King of the Hill- Never really followed either of them, but I liked what I've seen of KOTH more than what i've seen of 24. 2) Scrubs vs. 15) Roswell- Remember how I said that Deadwood was in the conversation for my favorite TV show of all time? Well Scrubs is in there too. I concede that the show has its ups and downs, that the characters can get irritating from time to time, that some of the "lessons" learned at the end of the episodes were contrived, but no show has made me feel more joy than Scrubs. Plus, I never watched Roswell.

1) Community vs. 16) One Tree Hill- (Watched a few episodes of One Tree Hill, meh, wasn't horrible, but nothing special. Community on the other hand is one of the funniest shows on TV. Easy win.) 8) Only Fools and Horses vs. 9) The West Wing (Never watched Only Fools and Horses, but The West Wing is amazing, so not ashamed to give my vote to it. Even though it was a serious show most of the time, it could be as funny as any other show on TV when it wanted to.) 5) How I Met Your Mother vs. 12) Peep Show- (Caught a couple of episodes of Peep Show on TV before, I enjoyed it, but I've gotten to much enjoyment out of HIMYM to give it my vote. HIMYM has its down moments, but I still care about what's happening to the characters.) 4) The Office (U.S.) vs. 13) Columbo- (Never watched Columbo. The Office's early seasons were amazing, and even the later ones were still enjoyable until this season. Easy win.) 6) Blackadder vs. 11) Eastbound & Down 3) The Walking Dead vs. 14) The Tick (Animated Series)- (Haven't seen The Tick. TWD has its problems, but at its best its one of the few shows on right now that give me goosebumps.) 7) The Shield vs. 10) Frasier- (Watching The Shield right now, only on season 1, but so far I'm really, really impressed. I never really followed Frasier, but have caught a decent amount of episodes. Funny, but I didn't really find it special 2) Seinfeld vs. 15) Star Trek: The Next Generation- (Seinfeld is one of the shows my entire family loves, and has been the cause of many bonding moments, which might give it a unfair advantage. Nothing against Star Trek, but easy win for Seinfeld here.)

Gah, The Wire, a million times, The Wire.

I was raised up believing, I was somehow unique Like a snowflake unique among snowflakes, distinct in each way you can see And now after some thinking, I say I'd much rather be A functioning cog in some great machinery, serving something beyond me But I don't, I don't know, what that will be I'll get back to you someday, soon you will see Helplessness Blues by The Fleet Foxes

Scrubs: Lot's of contenders, but off the top of my head, my favorites are probably: My Lunch, which had that amazing scene at the end, My Bed Banter and Beyond, which was my favorite episode about JD and Elliot's relationship, and My Finale, which was the, well, finale. The Office: The entire Michael Scott Paper Company arc was great, but the standout episode of that for me was the last episode in the arc, Broke. It just wrapped things up really nicely and showed once again that Michael Scott can really come through when he needs to. The Wire: Middle Ground is definitely at the top of my list, though i'm only in the fourth season. I don't want to get into to much details, but the balcony scene alone already puts it near the top, along with everything that was going on with Hamsterdam and the epic face-off in the teaser. Honorary mentions to the penultimate episodes of Season 4 and 1, That's Got His Own and Cleaning Up. Firefly: Dead-tie between Out of Gas and Jaynestown. Both have completely different atmospheres and show that Firefly could do serious and funny well. Deadwood: Boy-the-Earth-Talks-To. The Season 2 finale, capping off what should go down as one of the best seasons in any TV show. Freaks and Geeks: The show's last episode, Discos and Dragons. In one episode, you had Daniel joining the geeks for a game of D&D, Lindsay finally going over to the Freaks 100%, and the best dance routine in any TV show ever.

If I remember correctly, he was one of the Arkham Asylum guards.

Caught Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on TV last night, I've probably watched it 3-4 times, but I only just noticed that the guy who plays Merry is actually Dominic Monaghan, who plays Charlie in Lost.

Yep.

Alright, in Arrested Development, what was the name of the supplement that Tobias and Lindsay were hocking before being shut down by the F.D.A.

The Upright Citizens Brigade.

Yeah, the Two Towers for sure. The Battle at Helms Deep is probably my favorite sequence in the entire trilogy.

Yep, take it away.

In "Almost Famous", what was Penny Lane's real name?

Kevin Spacey.

"You All, Everybody" is the name of the only hit song of a fictional band in a TV show. Name both the TV show, and the band.

"Four for you Glenn Coco. You go, Glenn Coco!"

OK, I think this one is pretty easy. Which actor connects the two shows, House and Pushing Daisies? I want his real name, the name of his character in House, and the name of his character in Pushing Daisies.

Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Wily Kat, and Jaga, For the villains, Mumm-Ra, Vultureman and uh, Monkian?
