Battle of the Sitcoms - First Round Review

[BLUEBLOOD]

Well that was Round One ... i was going to review every tie, but in the end i thought i'd just present the votes as cast and the percentage of the vote gained by the winner ... i will just make honourable mention to the crushing victories gained by Only Fools and Horses and Blackadder, and offer extra commiserations to Ab Fab (beaten by 4 votes), Allo Allo (2 votes) and especially Open All Hours, beaten by I'm Alan Partridge by a single vote

[MK Shrimper]

Hmmm, some definite ones in there I want to avoid and there's some others I can see Blacky handing out another crushing victory!

 

[canveyshrimper]

Good summary Lee, quite a few mismatches in the first round. I've spoken to callan and he's demanded a recount, as he can't believe he got as many as 7. Provided they are kept apart I predict a Blackadder v Only Fools & Horses final.

Blackadder v Only Fools I think I would have to abstain for fear of besmirching my love for one of them :(

 

[Mr Gilbo]

red dwarf should have done better than it did!

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

I think a lot of the deadwood has beed cut out ... though i will resist the urge to cane Dinner Ladies again ;) :D

I suppose Open All Hours, The Young Ones and Bottom going out first up was fairly surprising, until you see who they were up against, but with an many as 10 "heavyweights" remaining its fair to say we will see one or two big name casualties next week ... BRING IT ON !!!!!

 

[MK Shrimper]

red dwarf should have done better than it did!

That was probably the toughest draw for me.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Do you think it's too late to have this printed on the new home shirt?

Till Death Do Us Part (callan) 7 vs Blackadder (MK Shrimper) 79 92%

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Blackadder v Only Fools I think I would have to abstain for fear of besmirching my love for one of them :(

That would be a MONSTER battle i think ... and though i'm not going to do MKs dirty work for him, because Blackadder ran for 4 very different series it never died a painful death (series 4 one very humbling exception of course) which maybe might not be true of OFAH

But you still qualified the same as Partridge or any of the others though, so i'd save your gloating till the title has been won (or indeed lost !!!)

How the **** did Yes Minister get knocked out?

As Jim Hacker once said "I think we're all agreed that the nation isn't quite ready for total democracy, perhaps ah next century?"

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

How the **** did Yes Minister get knocked out?QUOTE]

Probably by gaining fewer votes than The Good Life in the least voted upon match in the entire round

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Don't remind me! :'(:(

That was my reaction at first then relasied they both perfect and , you need probaly a bit more brain power for Yes Mininster/Prime

 

[BrettieAngell]

No Red Dwarf, Bottom, Young Ones or Seinfeld in the next round. Boo Hiss!
