    Saturday Night Live vs. The Sopranos is the kind of 4-5 second-round game that makes you love March Madness.

    Also, M*A*S*H got whored having The Wire in its quad.

    This should make it easier for people to vote:

    East
    1 Friends vs. 16 Jeopardy
    8 The X Files vs. 9 NCIS
    5 Grey's Anatomy vs. 12 Monk
    4 Dexter vs. 13 ER
    6 Supernatural vs. 11 30 Rock
    3 I Love Lucy vs. 14 The Golden Girls
    7 24 vs. 10 Bones
    2 Lost vs. 15 Curb Your Enthusiasm

    South
    1 Seinfeld vs. 16 Futurama
    8 Heroes vs. 9 Desperate Housewives
    5 All in the Family vs. 12 Firefly
    4 Arrested Development vs. 13 Smallville
    6 The Big Bang Theory vs. 11 Frasier
    3 The Office vs. 14 Everybody Loves Raymond
    7 Two and a Half Men vs. 10 The Wire
    2 M*A*S*H vs. 15 Criminal Minds

    Midwest
    1 The Simpsons vs. 16 Modern Family
    8 Sex and the City vs. 9 Law and Order
    5 Buffy the Vampire Slayer vs. 12 The Andy Griffith Show
    4 The Twilight Zone vs. 13 SpongeBob SquarePants
    6 That 70s Show vs. 11 Gilmore Girls
    3 Cheers vs. 14 Doctor Who
    7 American Idol vs. 10 True Blood
    2 House vs. 15 Six Feet Under

    West
    1 Family Guy vs. 16 Bonanza
    8 Glee vs. 9 Entourage
    5 Saturday Night Live vs. 12 The Cosby Show
    4 The Sopranos vs. 13 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
    6 Star Trek vs. 11 Survivor
    3 Scrubs vs. 14 The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
    7 How I Met Your Mother vs. 10 Angel
    2 South Park vs. 15 Happy Days

    From my vantage point, the South is stacked while the East could be a serious sleeper region across the board. I don't care much for any of the top seven seeds in the East.

    Well, I think you're just supposed to do the first round, at which point MisterCreosote will post the Round 2 matchups. I take it you're a fan of procedurals, then?

    albert, you should just fill out the first round. The rest of the rounds will be filled out after people vote to see which shows move forward.

    Also, I'm assuming it's because this list is a few years old, but a list without Mad Men and Breaking Bad is highly problematic.

    It's strange. Mad Men started in 2007. Modern Family started in 2009. I don't get it.

    Before I vote, I think this was done a few years ago with worst songs of all time (I recall "We Built This City" was Final Four material, but I could be wrong).

    Anyway, I like the TV show idea, Mr. C., so here goes. In close matchups, I tend to go with the hotter cast members ... sorry, Alex Trebek!

    Not your fault. It just kind of died out. Plus, I think someone kept saying Dr. Pepper (I just shook typing that).
