Desert Island Draft

Recommended Posts

Man, fucking pays to check on the weekends huh? I'm more of a during work TSMer.

 

Anyways, I wanted Night Court this round and thought that it would be there for awhile. But my pick is....

Frasier.jpg

 

Growing up I was a huge Cheers fan, so I continued watching Frasier after his move to Seattle. Surprised that this was still around kind of.

 

I think that Frasier was among the longest running character on tv and was a good one. I always enjoyed this show. Smart humor and really underappreciated.

 

Damn I wanted that. And I guess I was up during the day (I had no connection yesterday):

Magnum PI

 

This show had it all, fast cars, beautiful scenery, a kickass theme and great acting. But above all else, it was the first show on television to portray Vietnam Vets in a positive light.

And it really cemented the mustache as a viable accessory. I'm wearing a thick handlebar mustache right now, and I actually did say "I'd never be able to pull this off were it not for Magnum PI." And I do love that theme music.

 

Nice pick.

Thanks Mole for making my pick in the Movie Draft.

Anyway, I'm back so here we go...

Clone High

 

HILARIOUS cartoon from the makers of "Scrubs". Originally on MTV but that hasn't worked out for a cartoon since the early 90's.

It got a big following here in Canada airing on Teletoon (Canadian version of Cartoon Network complete with Adult Swim ripoff "The Detour").

 

Sadly, no MTV meant no 2nd season. I'm still in suspense...damn you cliffhangers!

Happy Days

 

I just like watching this show go from pretty funny look back at the '50s into bizarre plotlines where Fonzie's basically a superhero. I also like the later seasons, where Potsie's still hanging around, even though there's no reason for him to be there. Poor guy wasn't even in the series finale.

Greek by Patrick Sean Smith

 

I am almost positive this will make it back to me, but since the shows I DEFINITELY want are only down to two and this is one of them, I might as well snag it now. Though this show can be a bit soapy at times, I still love it. I'm glad they don't throw the typical college show at us with "OMG, drinking is so bad. Wear a condom, etc" nonsense.

Yeah, I could hang with it.

 

Greek is the first show of this draft I've out and out not heard of. That guy sitting in the lower left corner, though, I've seen him before. A lot of people tell my brother he looks like that guy, and he's greatly insulted by it.

Without a Trace

 

I really need some drama, and this is one of my favourites from the past few years. The first few seasons are better than the last couple, but it's still pretty good.

He was in Superbad.

 

And the show is on ABC Family.

Robot Chicken

 

If someone had given me a show years ago, it would have been Robot Chicken.

I watch this show and exclaim many times "They took my idea".

Time to pull my redneck card and finish my 80s night on the schedule with

 

The Dukes of Hazzard

 

I am at work and for some reason am having trouble getting a picture, so I'll edit one in when I get home.

Since I think I'm going to start dating myself in the next couple of rounds, let's get my second and I think final wrestling pick out of the way first.

WCW Saturday Night

 

A deep, rich history of awesomely ridiculous gimmicks (I'm assuming, and hoping, I get a shit ton of The Gambler and Roadblock here) and quick undercard matches mixed in with periods of actual relevance, from a promotion I never delved deep into so I'm sure I'll find a lot of stuff to entertain me, both in terms of legitimately good stuff and in terms of stuff like Chuck Palumbo pretending to be Tarzan.

Babylon 5

 

Haven't seen much of this but i'm a scifi nerd and it would be nice to have something new to watch on the island.
