Think of it as an opportunity to have the bad shows publicly executed.

I think we should do this tournament. My suggestion is to take 64 shows and put them into four conferences of 16 teams each. Then we run each a tournament for each conference until we have a winner. But the final four from each conference will face off against each other for the Championship Title.

As an example I took 64 shows (I included some top min-series but I did not include anything that is typically listened as "comedy") and broke them into North, South, East, and West Conferences. The conferences as listed below are not seeded.

Spoiler: show
NORTH
Dark
Fargo
Downton Abbey
Sherlock
The Bear
Battlestar Galactica
Star Trek: The Next Generation
The Fall
Babylon 5
Rome
Dr. Who
E.R.
The Twilight Zone
The Pacific
Band of Brothers
Chernobyl

SOUTH
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Justified
Ozark
True Detective
Dexter
Stranger Things
Narcos
Half and Catch Fire
Friday Night Lights
Atlanta
The Leftovers
Gunsmoke
The Walking Dead
The Queen’s Gambit
Roots

EAST
The Wire
The Sopranos
The Americans
Mad Men
Orange is the New Black
Handmaid’s Tale
Boardwalk Empire
Severance
Homicide: Life on the Streets
Succession
Mr. Robot
The West Wing
My So-Called LIfe
Oz
Homeland
Angels in America

WEST
Deadwood
Game of Thrones
The Shield
Sons of Anarchy
Yellowstone
The X-Files
LOST
Twin Peaks
Six Feet Under
Columbo
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Watchmen
Lonesome Dove
American Crime Story: The People v OJ Simpson
Barry
GLOW


What do you think?

:lol:

It was literally just a for instance (based almost entirely on where the show is set and nothing more).

Mad Men, Wire and Sopranos cannibalize each other, and Deadwood strolls into final four

There's probably an argument for putting each of those as the 1 seed in different brackets.
