If we're doing this tournament Twin Peaks has to be included.

I think we should do this tournament. My suggestion is to take 64 shows and put them into four conferences of 16 teams each. Then we run each a tournament for each conference until we have a winner. But the final four from each conference will face off against each other for the Championship Title.
As an example I took 64 shows (I included some top min-series but I did not include anything that is typically listened as "comedy") and broke them into North, South, East, and West Conferences. The conferences as listed below are not seeded.

It was literally just a for instance (based almost entirely on where the show is set and nothing more).

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

There's probably an argument for putting each of those as the 1 seed in different brackets.Malloy wrote:Mad Men, Wire and Sopranos cannibalize each other, and Deadwood strolls into final four
