16 votes in, and a couple of "upsets" brewing.

In the Animation bracket:
(13) Beavis and Butt-Head leading (4) Rick and Morty
(12) Scooby Doo leading (5) Bojack Horseman

In the Classics bracket, it's no surprise (16) The Cosby Show is leading (1) The Honeymooners. I suspect The Cosby Show was punished by the IMDb fans to end up with that seeding anyway. (3) MASH is also on upset watch, courtesy of (14) Happy Days.

Over on 90s Television, the (5) Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is in a surprising dogfight with (12) Everybody Loves Raymond.

And in the modern bracket, fan favorite (6) Community has some ground to make up against the perennial underdog (11) Scrubs. Meanwhile, (7) Silicon Valley is in a close match with (10) Modern Family.

The Veep vs. Parks and Rec matchup seemed a little off this early in the bracket

Yeah, I was a little surprised by IMDb's rating for some of these shows. For example, the ratings for the 21st Century bracket look like this:

The Office 8.9
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 8.8
Arrested Development 8.7
Curb Your Enthusiasm 8.7
Parks and Recreation 8.6
Community 8.5
Silicon Valley 8.5
Flight of the Conchords 8.5
Modern Family 8.4
Brooklyn 99 8.4
Scrubs 8.3
Veep 8.3
How I Met Your Mother 8.3
30 Rock 8.2
Eastbound and Down 8.2
Workaholics 8.1
------------------------------------
Malcolm in the Middle 8
Reno 911 7.9
Black-ish 7.1

Arrested development vs parks and rec wasn't first round material either.

Might end up reseeding next round. The thought initially was to pick the best from each division and then have those go head to head for an all-around champ. But some of these matchups, especially in the next round within the millennial division, should be later matchups.

Seinfeld and Friends are set up to advance.

Andy Griffith v Cheers & Family Guy v Sponge Bob.....come on man?!?!

Malcolm in the Middle is so much better than so many of those shows.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Scrubs vs. Community was a tough match-up for me.

Workaholics 8.1

Those in its own bracket alone. Took out Community, because I've never watched more than an episode, but I wasn't impressed.

Would love to have seen Mike Tyson Mysteries in the animated section. It's an 8.1 and a hilarious show but I get it's not that well known.

Thanks for putting these together

Wish I had caught the early round but nice setup.

Sad to have to vote against Brooklyn 99, but it rant into the Office... 90s bracket were probably the easiest votes on this one.

One of the tougher ones to vote on was South Park vs. King of the Hill. Really depends on my mood.

oof, I feel like I'm going 0-4 on the 21st Century bracket this time.

Archer and IASIP

News Radio vs Wings. Thats a Sophies Choice if Ive ever seen one

Bump

The top show from each genre remaining from last round were re-seeded as the top 4, and then the remaining teams have been re-seeded using a weighted formula from (1) IMDb, (2) Rotten Tomatoes Critic Score, and (3) Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score. Amazingly, this half-assed attempt at a computer ranking is actually pretty balanced.

what's wrong with you people?!?!?

It's halftime in our Sweet 16 games, and some teams are getting taken to the woodshed. Futurama has a lot to do if they want to come back on Frasier. Critic's Darling IASIP is struggling against Cult Favorite Arrested Development.

The surprise of the tournament has to be feel-good family favorite Parks and Rec in an absolute dog fight with the irreverent kids of South Park.

Link again for voting before the round ends this weekend.

damn son, Arrested Development vs Its Always Sunny?? F! Why you gotta do me like that?

Round complete. Sad to see two of my personal favorites go in Futurama and IASIP. Glad to see South Park put up a fight against Parks and Rec, even though I think I enjoy Parks and Rec more.

(1) The Office def. (16) The Cosby Show, 65-35
(8) Frasier def. (9) Futurama, 65-35

(4) I Love Lucy def. (13) Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, 65-35

(11) Arrested Development upsets (6) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 67-33

Next round is now open for voting

Such tough choices, but I think at this point I dont think there have been any mistakes in what is left. The Elite 8 are very possibly the 8 of the 10 best shows in this format ever created.

Cheers as a #14 seed continues to hurt my brain. Was the OP born in 2005?

Take it up with their 7.8 on IMDb.

Missed this one.
