Final Four is much more exciting than Elite 8 so far. But do have 4 amazing shows doing battle with each other.

At the moment of this typing, both matchups are tied.

This could be a thriller round.

Nice humble brag for the committee!

Cheers opening up a slight lead over M*A*S*H, up by 5.

Heh! … we have to do a subtle boast when it’s available .. we will ignore the performance of the 2 3 and 4 seeds for now

Despite all of the bickering (my own included) about seeding and shows included, this is a testament to the thought put into it. Bravo!

Now, that said, I love The Office, but c'mon.... Seinfeld is the greatest sitcom ever made and it isn't particularly close.

Cheers up 10 on M*A*S*H.

Seinfeld and The Office tied.

Something I didn't think to do prior to this round: Networks

Final four has
NBC vs. NBC
CBS vs. NBC

(edit):
"Modern Family" and "Home Improvement" were the final ABC shows alive in the tournament.

Both are awesome. I based my vote on which one eventually jumped the shark. You could argue that both did in some way, but i think The Office fizzled badly in the last two seasons.

That's a big part of it. Both shows got off to slow starts, but The Office would've benefitted from an earlier exit. Seinfeld's finale has it's issues, but was still (generally) solid in it's last season.

But the bigger factor to me is that the "highs" of Seinfeld can't be matched. Few things have ever made me keel over laughing quite like Kramer walking back through Jerry's door, slamming his money down on the counter and saying "I'm out!"

If I had a test with only a few seconds to take I would of only had 10 of 16 right. Most the incorrect coming from the early shows that were ahead of my time.

Also is this the big 3 are pretty evenly split in number of shows making it this far. No network aka conference running away in this.

I don't care for the office. Can't stand 90% of the cast.

I watch Seinfeld and like it, because I love Larry David's writing. I absolutely hate Jerry Seinfeld though.
