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.

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.

Can you keep this one going for a bit? Shadow Line seems awesome and I want to watch the whole thing before I decide whether I like it or Slings & Arrows more.

Considering that the series is only seven episodes long, I see no problem with doing this.
After giving it a lot of thought, I've decided to wrap this match up tomorrow, so make sure you get your votes in by then.

I'm going to hold off on voting for awhile, you guys can start without me.
Parks and Rec
Six Feet Under (might be higher if I got to see more)
That 70's Show
Night Court
My Votes:
That 70's Show: Well, considering that so far, it's the only show that I've seen more than one episode of, it was bound to take the top spot. Although, I have a feeling that Six Feet Under may surpass it when I've seen more of that show.
Six Feet Under
Parks & Rec
Night Court

Believe it or not, I don't. I just don't like it as much as the others.
Uh, I'd like to swap out Night Court and That 70's Show in my rankings. I quite like what I've seen of Night Court, while I've seen every episode of T7S so many times that I'm way beyond burned out on it. Plus for certain reasons I can't stand the very thought of Wilmer Valderrama anymore.

Night Court made it through. There's no problem!
I liked it better when Doctor knew his place in the world and stayed as the most soulless, humorless member here.

Arrested Development
Buffy
Misfits
Married...With Children
Buffy (Need to read more of Season 9)
Misfits (Has done more for superheroes than any recent comic has)
Arrested Development (Smart, edgy, and very good at using continuity to its advantage. Damn shame that 2/3rd of the characters were under-characterized bastards though)
Married With Children (Al Bundy's great, but I think it gets overestimated)
Like them all though.
Buffy
MWC
Misfits
Arrested Development
MWC
Misfits
AD
Buffy (shut up avaitor :P)
Buffy below AD? Preposterous. :unimpressed:
Surprised at the lack of response at me and Pharass putting MWC at last.
What's to question? That show is an acquired taste.
The only reason I didn't put AD isn't in last is because I legitimately don't like the last place show. :humhumhum:
Sweet, Buffy is going to easily make it. No vote tampering this time. Same order as pictures.
I still don't get why Desen doesn't like Whedon, but whatever.

Edge of Darkness: Another great British mini-series, definitely in my top ten.
Brisco County Jr: I really like what I've seen of the show, very entertaining.
Firefly
Boy Meets World: Has potential, but I need to see more episodes.
By the way: You'll need Veoh to watch the Edge of Darkness. My apologies for any inconvenience, but complete episodes of this show is not easy to find and I'm not sure how the moderators feel about torrents.
Firefly
Brisco
Edge
BMW (Good, but both its first and last seasons bring it down as a whole)

Deadwood
Twin Peaks: Drops significantly in quality after the murderer is revealed, however up until that moment this was a great show.
The Twilight Zone
Tales From the Crypt
While Twin Peaks does significantly drop in quality after the end of the first story arc, the last five (or so) episodes of the series are also excellent. The final episode is amazing IMO.

Agreed on the finale and to be fair, the show does pick up somewhat once Windom Earle enters the picture.

Yeah, the RTD era hasn't aged well. For you, I'd suggest watching the classics like Talons of Weng-Chiang, Deadly Assassin, or the recent ones like The Doctor's Wife.

The next match will be up soon.
I propose that in the final round, we write down a short essay elaborating on why the two remaining series deserve their acclaim and what makes them stand out from the rest. If you have not been a witness to either of the shows despite how this match has lasted for 9 months, then torrent that shit immediately or I staple your tongue to your testicles.

Short essay, you lazy bastard. Just a few paragraphs will do. And it's not like I'm not gonna grade you all on what you say.
Dude, this isn't toonzone and you're not our professor.

Maybe we can write a little explanation. Maybe just a little one.

In all seriousness, though, I'm fine with writing explanations for my final choices. But "short essay" will be impossible for me unless they're series I feel strongly about.

-----------------
The Prisoner: Tough choice between this one and Tinker, Tailor but in the end I decided to go with McGoohan's masterpiece. Personally, I think of The Prisoner as the ancestor to shows like Lost: It was a weird, enigmatic and utterly compelling show that was clearly a head of it's time and although there are some shows in this tournament that I like more, it's my opinion that out of the shows in this match, The Prisoner is the one most deserving to end up in the finale.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
The Twilight Zone
I'm prepared to write something for my choice in the finals (not an essay though). You should be warned though that it will probably come of as me rambling more than anything else. At least, that's what most of my longer posts seem like to me.
The Prisoner - A powerful display of what defines identity in society
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - It's a great shame that people only remember Alec Guinness for that guy who awkwardly swang a lightsaber and not as George Smiley.
The Twilight Zone - While I admire it, I do feel that it holds your hand more than the above two shows. Rod Serling pretty much tells you what to think instead of allowing you to make sense of the stories for yourself.

Same.
Sorry, I don't like writing essays for games. ;)
Well, at least give reasons for why. We shouldn't let this devolve into those greatest threads at TZ.
I will for the final round.
I really like the first two a lot and think the third is merely okay. I mean, somethings I can go in-depth about, and others I can't.
The Prisoner - One of the greatest stories ever broadcast on television. Beginning, middle, and end are all superb.
The Twilight Zone - Defines brilliant in terms of TV.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - Definitely amazing, but not quite as perfect as The Prisoner or legendary as Twilight Zone.
That's pretty much the extent of what I can write about these.
Results:
The Prisoner = 13 pts
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy = 7 pts
The Twilight Zone = 10 pts
And now, the moment of truth. We're down to two shows and only one of them will be crowned the champion. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for:
The Finale

Both these shows are magnificent in their own ways and deserve all the praise that has been heaped upon them over the years. However, in the end my vote for the greatest TV-Show goes to The Wire.
Ah, The Wire, truly one of the finest jewels in HBO's crown. For five seasons it invited us to Baltimore and allowed us to meet some of the richest, most complex characters ever to have graced the small screen: Freamon, McNulty, Omar, Bubbles and the rest are all characters who will never be forgotten by those who have made their acquaintance. Are there others shows worthy of being called the greatest? Definitely. Is The Wire worthy of this title? To quote, Mr. Little: "Oh, indeed."
Indeed it is.
I have once heard The Wire described as "Ghetto Shakespeare". And I thought, "Well, that's one way of putting it." Let's be honest. This is not an easy show to watch. You can't just pop in an episode and let it run while you make dinner, it's not like that. It's the kind of show that demands that you treat it with just as much respect as it does to you. And this is what it is: A series that absolutely refuses to talk down to you, to guide you, or to come up with the conclusions for yourself. Moral ambiguity's like a dime a dozen in this show, and it makes no doubts that you can figure it out yourself.
I need to watch more than a little of The Wire before I can vote this time.
I'm thinking of wrapping this up. However, I'm going to leave the match open until Sunday, so that those who're still interested in voting may have an opportunity to do so.
Before I unveil the winner, I'd like to thank all of you who participated in this tournament. Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it.
And now the time has come: The winner of the coveted title of the
Greatest Live-Action TV-Show is:
