Greatest Live-Action TV-Show Tournament

[Pharass]

The time has come to chose the greatest TV-show among sixty contestants. The rules are pretty much the same as in my last tournament:

There will be 4 shows in every match and you'll rank them all in terms of preference with 1st Place= 4 points, 2nd= 3 and so on. Ready? Here we go.

Round 1, Match 1

The Prisoner



Vs.

Prison Break



Vs.

Burn Notice



The House of Cards Trilogy



Ladies and Gentlemen, you may start voting. Personally, I'm going to wait until I've seen an episode each of Burn Notice and Prison Break.

If the moderators want me to remove the links for each show, please let me know.

Since I've seen none of these shows, I'm going to go with order of preference of how I want to watch these shows.

1- The Prisoner
2- Burn Notice
3- House of Cards
4- Prison Break

Although I should probably put Prison Break higher, since Demi was in an episode when she was like 12.

Eeyup. Love me some Patrick McGoohan.

You just had to put both of my favorites together in the first round.

1. Burn Notice (Favorite show)
2. Prison Break (I already know Dr. Insomniac would love this. I'd put this as the #1 rec for him.)
3. House of Cards (never heard of it.)
4. The Prisoner (barely heard of it.)

Yeah, we're not doing the "Put stuff in last place because you've never seen it" anymore. We want people to actually at least see some YouTube clips of the show before actually voting. So go watch some Patrick McGoohan.

Note: The link for Galactica goes to the 2005 series since I couldn't find episodes of the 2003 miniseries anywhere online. If anyone knows where to find them, feel free to post a link. No Hulu though, since not all of us will have access to it.

Thank you.
