*** Cyclone Fanatic Sitcom Tournament: Selection Show ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz

I would certainly categorize it as "dumb" humor. Not for everyone. I do like the story though, and the character development over time.
Community vs Curb is a really tough draw. Feel like Community would beat any of the other 4 seeds pretty easily. Great show if you haven't seen it.
Surprised The Good Place didn't sneak in. I probably wouldn't consider Orange is the New Black or The Wonder Years to be traditional sitcoms.
Some lesser known shows that would probably be dominating the NIT sitcom tourney, Better Off Ted, My Name is Earl, and Raising Hope.

Each round will have its own thread with each matchup listed for everyone to vote on.
Park and Rec is a show I've heard great things about but haven't gotten into yet. It's on my to do list of shows to watch.
I was looking at the bracket earlier, it's possible all the 10 seeds could advance.
Coach is a legitimate dark horse no one is talking about.
My hot take is that Parks and Rec is better than The Office (at least after its first 1.5 seasons). I think the character development on Parks and Rec is more complete and makes more sense, and I think they also did a better job with some creativity in the later seasons to keep it from getting stale.
Agree to disagree. The Office is the funnier show (and my favorite) but I do think Parks and Rec has more depth to it in terms of storylines and character arc
This is what will make the results here so interesting, different takes on different shows, it's all personal preference and no wrong opinions. I love Schitt's Creek and seeing how those characters evolved, which to me is a big part of what a sitcom should be about, but I know plenty who gave it a shot and just flat didn't like it.
Will be interesting to see how voting goes, I assume there will be a few matchups of young vs old.
I wouldn't call myself an afficienado by any stretch, but there are a bunch of old ones included here that I've never watched:
WKRP (never even heard of)
Green Acres
Newhart/Bob Newhart
Family Ties
Kotter
Larry Sanders Show
MTM Show
Laverne & Shirley
Newsradio
Taxi
That's not to suggest any of these don't belong, but I won't be voting for any of them.

WKRP and the Larry Sanders show were the two I had never heard of. I heard of the others just have never seen most
I've watched its entire run three times. I swear it gets funnier. The opening of Season 3 is comedy gold.
Fraser-Home Improvement is the game of the first weekend. Definitely getting a standalone CBS window....
