The SmartMarks Favorite T.V. Show Tournament

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

Ladies and gentlemen....

 

it is with great honor and privelege to introduce to you, The SmartMarks Forums Poster, the winner of The SmartMarks Favorite T.V. Show Tournament!

 

I started this tournament on April 19th to determine what is TSM's favorite show to watch. Any show, in any genre of scripted t.v., was allowed and any show could be a contender.

 

More than a month has passed since the I started with a field of 64 shows. All were from different genres. Some more classic and memorable than others. But all shows YOU liked to watch.

 

You voted. I eliminated shows that did not make it to the next round. In 6 rounds the field of shows went from 64 to 1.

 

And this is where we are today.

 

So, on Tuesday, May 27, 2003, the SmartMarks Favorite T.V. Show is about to be revealed.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner, the champion, and The SmartMarks Favorite T.V. Show, is.....

 

SEINFELD~!!!

 

Thanks to everyone who voted in each round of the tournament. I really apperciate it. Now, celebrate or whatever, as Seinfeld has been crowned this forum's favorite t.v. show. Congradulations Seinfeld!

 

But this tournament is now finished and in the archives of this site.

 

But once again, thanks to everyone who voted.

I thought this tourney was dropped long ago after everyone complained about the entries?

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

Whatever was said about this tournament, I'm happy with the outcome.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

Seinfeld is just a good show. Lost something after Larry David left but still a damn funny show. My favorite didn't last, but I can't complain about Seinfeld winning.

[Guest Lil Naitch]

Seinfeld sucks.

It was an over-rated sitcom.

No way is it the best show.

Buffy or Simpson's, man.

[Guest Mole]

Seinfeld sucks.

It was an over-rated sitcom.

No way is it the best show.

Buffy or Simpson's, man.

I agree about the both, but Seinfeld makes me laugh no matter what.

 

Even if I am watching it by myself, I will clap at the end of the show because it is that good.

 

All matter of opinion, of course.

[Guest bob_barron]

Seinfeld is my favourite show of all time and it deserved to win

[Guest CanadianChris]
