    The Categories

    1. Back In The '90s I Was Into a Very Famous TV Show ; everyone loved TV in the '90s right? I certainly did anyway, so to kick things off, hit me with a '90s classic that you loved, which was aired either entirely or mostly in the '90s. If something went off the air for more than 10 years, and then was brought back because studios are reluctant to use original ideas, as long as its main run was in the '90s, that's fair game.

    Just to clear this one up a bit for this category, because I have sent a couple of people back to the drawing board over it. When I say entirely or mostly in the '90s, I'm looking for something that at least 90% of it's original run was in the '90s...

    So for example...
    If a show ran from 1994-1995... Perfect
    If a show ran from 1992-1998... Perfect
    If a show ran from 1989-2000... Perfectly Acceptable, clearly majority is '90s
    If a show ran from 1991-1994, and then returned in 2019... that's fine, the original run was the '90s, all is good
    If a show ran from 1997-2003... No, I don't like that, too much noughties there, the balance is off, try again
    If a show ran from 1994-2004... We don't do that here, please stop nominating Friends for this category* (and yes more than one person tried) ;)

    If you've already nominated, I'll have messaged back if there were any problems, so if you haven't heard anything this doesn't apply to you, sit back, relax, you're good to go, and the people who need to make any changes know who they are.

    This is just really to make things clear for people who haven't nominated at all yet.

    Thanks for all the nominations so far. If you celebrate Christmas, have a good one... and if you don't buy into all the commercialism or its not a time of year that you enjoy for whatever reasons, virtual fist bump to you lot.




    *If you really want to nominate Friends and can make it fit one of the other categories, that's fair game

    I'm extending the deadline for submissions until the end of the day on Monday January 4th

    Will give anyone who wanted to enter, but was too busy in the run up to Christmas Day a chance to throw some submissions together.

    Me sitting here with about 230 episodes of television to react to, looking for more people to take part...

    Plenty of time, even if you only have a passing interest in television, you may as well send in some submissions...

    I'm not a huge tv fan but I'll try rack the brain to come up with something. May only end up being a nomination for Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom :pac:

    Don't watch much tv at all and judging by the amount of songs you entered in the tv theme tournament you've most likely seen everything I've seen. I'll give it a go anyway

    Considering how well you did in my Movie Walrus, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    No harm if I've seen something already, I like revisiting TV Shows (and good chance I'll have not seen some of them in many years or won't remember them very well anyway). Plus there's a fair few who've entered who claim they don't watch much television, so you'll be in good company... :pac:

    Hopefully other peoples tastes in TV will give me some ideas of things to binge watch.

    I'm watching Reign atm & its nothing award winning but I like the costumes & there's a bit of filth in it so that will hold my attention :P.

    There's someone under the bed at one point though, & that is not something I like :o

    I'm in!

    I'm extremely pleased with my submissions.
    Not that that means anything, of course :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    10-ish hours to go to get submissions in

    EN brings is up to 14, will a few more latecomers increase the numbers and make it harder to obtain the win?

    So anyone who's played any of my previous Walruses, will probably know that I like to do all the judging first before doing any sort of reveal, and this will be no different, gonna rank and review all 8 rounds before any sort of results will be broadcast, but hoping to plough through everything by mid-to-late February (should nothing unexpected happen) and then knock out the round reveals over a week or so, event-style rather than dropping in and out with a reveal every few weeks...

    'Tis just the way I prefer to run things.

    Well this is the reason why TV does my head in. I wrote that post after one or two episode's &
    it doesnt get any better so I've wasted my life watching it.

    It's bleedin' sh1te :D. It's like the writers had been scouted from Wattpad.

    & there's four seasons of it! :confused:

    It's actually so bad that it becomes kinda entertaining lol. So maybe I do like it. I'm a bit confused.

    LeVar if for some weird reason anybody has nominated Reign, just kick them out of the game now & pretend you didn't see their noms :pac:

    I quite liked Reign. May have only watched the first season, but it was always enjoyable fare.

    Same can't be said for some of the episodes of TV Shows I've watched so far that were submitted for this... ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,645 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Well its obviously been received well to have been kept going for four seasons. Ah its cringe, but funny cringe :D

    Its a bit comforting to know that the standards may not be that high if you thought Reign was anything other than hilariously cringe.

    Maybe I won't be crucified after all, for one or two of my noms :D
