    the fonz jumping the shark on his way to victory

    god i hate big bang at this stage, as soon as you see the underlying formula it shares with and a half men you just can't unsee it

    Sheldon is great but he never jumped a shark so it has to be the Fonz

    Sheldon never jumping a shark should be a plus for Sheldon? :P

    Sheldon Cooper. He's incredibly annoying but you still can't help liking him.

    Sheldon for me, fonz is a bit over rated, bazinga.

    Sheldon.

    Happy Days was sh1te.

    There, I said it.

    Fonzie's shark-jumping doesn't impress the boardsies, and its Sheldon Cooper who progresses with a 4-2 win.

    Gonna take a short break after posting this next one to get some of that fresh-air people keep going on about, but should be back again by 6 at the latest for the rest of today's matchs. We're flying through them.

    Match 21

    First appearance of a Seinfeld character with Elaine, but is The Good Place's Janet any match for one of Sitcom's most famous ladies...

    Elaine Benes (Seinfeld)

    Good Janet Bad Janet All the Janets!
    Because there are lots of Janets and Elaine is annoying

    Janet because she is the breakout star of a really great TV show

    Janet is probably the best character on the show, and I always found Seinfeld overrated.

    janet cause of that annoying voice

    Was honestly expecting that to go the other way, but perhaps I'm alone in my grá for Seinfeld. :(
    Anyway, Janet is also a fantastic character and off she goes to Round 2

    Match 22

    Will Lois be joining her husband in the next round or could it be To Infinity & Beyond for the Toolman...

    Tim "The Toolman" Taylor (Home Improvement)

    I don't think so Tim. Vote Lois for her whistling ability.

    Terrifying Lois for the win. Galaxy quest apart I don't like Tim Allen.

    Lois. Great character.

    Tim was just an an annoying ass who never learned from his mistakes. More power + Tim = distruction :(

    What about Buzz Lightyear?

    Lois. I don't think she was an out-and-out comedy character, more of the straight man to Hal but she didn't have a hand in some funny situations.

    Plus, I know I've seen Home Improvements at some point but it never made any impression on me.

    Lois makes quick work of Tim, and continues on in the competition with a quick 4-0 win

    Match 23

    It's DeLorean Driving, Time Travelling, Marty McFly studious and money obsessed Alex P. Keaton facing off against The Turtles Greatest Enemy, The Mighty Shredder no nonsense and food loving Uncle Phil...

    Alex P. Keaton (Family Ties)

    Another one that will probably get whitewashed, but I go for Alex Keaton. I liked Family Ties back in the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,500 Yester

    Tough one. Both great characters but I'll have to go for Alex because it's Michael J Fox.

    Tim.

    Lois is a detestable ar5ehole of the highest order.

    Philip Banks was an amazing character, the best in the Fresh Prince.

    Alex. Family ties was funny. Will Smith put me off the fresh Prince show.
