    Cartoons of the 80's could be fun.

    Great idea DZ!

    The problem seems to be that these were sort of SotS' baby. But all we would need is for a mod to make the original post in order to do a tournament, then a regular user (like maybe General Kenobi ;) ) could take it over.

    OK folks, I'd like to begin a new tournament soon. I'm leaning towards a TV show theme, but am wide open to suggestions.

    Best TV Show Ever?

    Best TV Comedy?

    Your ideas?

    :)

    I still think "Best Cartoon Series" either of all-time or of the 80's would be the most fun.

    I like the ideas of TV shows and rock groups.

    Best Cartoon Series of all time would be intersting, so I'll agree with that one.

    OK, it's looking like either TV shows or cartoon series might work. Before we start any formal nominations, do we have an idea about how large each might be? A good tournament might start with either 16, 32 or 64 entries.

    Just a thought: TV shows is a broader category, and might draw more posters. (I'm sure we can get 64 TV shows nominated.) I think it would be neat to always have a tournament running, and once folks get in the habit of checking in daily to vote, they are more likely to come back.

    Please feel free to add more suggestions. Maybe list a few examples of nominations for any category. And feel free to PM with any thoughts as well. :)

    I think a Best TV Show tournament with 64 shows would be the best bet to draw a large tournament. If you need suggestions for possible shows, PM me and I'll give a nice long list of possibilties. :)

    Good Idea and it should be Cartoons of all time.

    We could do TV shows first, but I think we should keep cartoons seperate. I know that we could easily come up with 64 nominations for cartoons alone. I could list the first 32 easily right off the top of my head.

    Transformers
    G.I. Joe
    The Simpsons
    Fat Albert
    The Flintstones
    The Smurfs
    Captain Caveman
    Dungeons and Dragons
    Danger Mouse
    Mighty Mouse
    Ren and Stimpy
    The Super Friends
    Batman
    Rocko's Modern Life
    Beavis and Butthead
    He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
    Robotech
    Dexter's Laboratory
    Futurama
    The Jetsons
    Scooby Doo
    Gargoyles
    Powerpuff Girls
    Space Ghost Coast to Coast
    Droids
    Spider-Man
    The Tick
    Voltron
    Family Guy
    South Park
    Star Blazers
    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
    Aeon Flux


    See.

    And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Still, cartoons would be much more manageable than all of t.v. What we could do is have 4 seperate categories, say cartoon, live-action comedy, live-action drama, and miscellaneous (talk shows, game shows, news, etc.) then have the final four face off in the semi-finals and finals.

    DZ, I like the idea of those four separate categories. Any others have thoughts on this, or do you like an overall category first, then so smaller groups later?

    I'm thinking the live-action comedy would draw a lot of interest to start off. Would anyone rather do an all-time tourney instead?

    Nah, I think cartoons would draw the most interest.

    I think cartoons would be a great idea. The Simpsons would probably win as it is the greatest tv show of all time.

    IF we are going to do TV shows, please do cartoons. I think that is the most diverse catagory. I am sure we coukld come up with 64. :)

    Besides, EVERYONE watches cartoons, or at least did at some point in their life.

    With the Cartoons Tournament coming to its thrilling conclusion, I thought it would be good to kick around some ideas for the next tournament.

    I'd love to do an all-time TV shows or maybe a category like live-action comedies. But since we just did cartoons, maybe it would be better to switch gears. How about all-time rock groups or best album of all-time?

    Please post your ideas. :)

    If we get into movies, do we want to select a genre?

    There's also the fact that SW movies will get involved. This could be a good thing or not. I mean, I would expect a "Best Movies of All-Time" to be a bit skewed. :)
