Both pretty weak. I think these were poorly seeded and never should have been a round two matchup. It's bound to happen...not a criticism of the tourney brass. We've had way, way better shows than both already eliminated though

Cheers was a pretty yuge show. Maybe not to our? demographic but it's definitely considered one of the all time great sitcoms. King of the Hill might be a little high here but it's tied for 3rd all time with Family Guy in the cartoon bracket.

That's why I am lamenting but not criticizing the seeding. You have to consider popularity, longevity, etc. Objectively they're probably both where they should be. Neither comes all that close to the 2-3 seeds as I would have subjectively seeded them though. I would have arranged things so all my favorites had easy passes in round one (kind of like Neil Young vs Rod Stewart...wait, what?) and some shit I didn't like would have gone against the likes of south park and the Simpsons in round two.

I have no integrity. I also would have taken bribes allowing rich, powerful posters to manipulate seeding. That's why I'm not allowed my own board.

The seeding says Arrested Development is a 4 seed and King of the Hill is a 2. You're right, and the seeding is objectively wrong.
