DRC Madness #28
- Thread starter Wolf
- Start date
I was thinking about that, then we might start nominating almost every other animated sitcom out there.
I think I rather make this madness theme non-aminated sitcoms and we can save that theme for another time.
I like the original and and rebooted version. Some people might prefer one over the other?
For me, I like Quantum Leap. But I think the reboot is almost as great as the orginal.
We could call them 1 and 2? But I’ll probably mark them down as the years as they aired.
By the way, I nominate both versions of Quantum Leap.
Great nominations so far everyone. I’m about to gather the nominations and post the entire list soon.
I imagine we can all think of many more shows, so let us know how the total count looks.
Roseanne
Black-ish
Full House
Married...With Children
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air
Does anyone remember Leslie Nielsen's 1982 Police Squad! series? It was hilarious but was canceled after only six episodes. Here is a scene that is reminiscent of Abbott & Costello's "Who's On First" routine:

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
A few years ago Rolling Stone did a poll of the top sitcoms and The Simpsons was number one.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I think we can consider The Simpsons, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Family Guy and Bob's Burgers to be sitcoms but I don't know if any other animated series would qualify. South Park, maybe?
Plus, the way things get paired-up in Madness usually results in nobody's first choice being the winner. Like vanilla ice cream.

I still think think there are good odds that the Beatles will win the madness.
There was an animated Beatles series, 1965-67. Paul Frees voiced John and George. Lance Percival voiced Paul and Ringo. The animation was terrible and the storylines were ridiculous – but Beatles fans didn't care.
As for now we have 70 nominations. There might be more, but I can’t tell if the videos are nominations or not.
We could go with what we have and eliminate 6 shows, to have 64? Or keep going until we figure out a new number.

I think C98 did several video nominations. I would interpret them as such. Police Squad was a nomination -- if not by him, by me.
And I second the nomination. The "complete series" – all six episodes – of Police Squad! is available on DVD and Blu-ray. "Cigarette?" "Yes, I know."
I found the Rolling Stone list that Listener mentioned. It includes several BBC, HBO and Netflix series. The Honeymooners, my favorite sitcom, ranked #8. "Alice, you're the type of person who would bend way over to pick up a penny on the sidewalk. I wouldn't." "You couldn't."
And we should add Maude, A Different World, Chico & The Man and What's Happening!! to our list of nominees.
