    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.

    The Throbber is having issue even voting in the category.

    No All My Children, No GH. WTF?!?! That was damned near every day in the chapter room back in the day.
