I think any reasonable person can agree The Simpsons really ended with the movie. That still leaves only half their run as absolute brilliance but that's enough to ignore the turds.

Oh my god the simpsons movie is 15 years old?!?

Voted 2 which, as mentioned, is getting housed. I will say Arrested Development, 30 Rock, and Frasier is a solid line up. The Office is overrated and beaten to death, but it is still better than a lot of things on that list, too.

To me, team 2 is clearly the winner on Simpsons alone, but adding in Seinfeld, Veep, Chappelle's Show and Atlanta is just icing on the cake.

Also, they drafted the wrong Mike Judge show.

Unconscionable that Friends got drafted and Living Single didnt

I’ll never understand people who claim Friends is a great comedy? Sure it was popular, but did it have any lasting impact, do anything noteworthy like change trends on how the industry approached sitcoms or whatever? Seems just a relic of its time to me but I also was clearly never a fan

I liked Silicon Valley, my only problem with it was that each humorous problem they ran into was more or less the same where all hope seems lost then they pull it off at the end. Also finding out TJ Miller was a sex pest didn't help.

Theme park money chat, just recently did two days three nights at Disneyland with 3 adults and a kid (thanks braks) and I went into it with the vacation money mindset, I just mashed the buy button on all the in-app niceties, the photo pass, genie plus line skips, we ate 2 meals a day in the park and that came out to an extra $1000 over the base price.

I was expecting a lot and it was, so expectations met.

Team 1 had 2 top picks with Friends and Saturday Night Live if we're talking cultural significance. In fact I think SNL could've been 1st overall.

Team 2 getting The Simpsons that late is the steal of the draft.

Thats the weak link for sure, but the "inside out" scene is so good. Also, I kind of give TJ Miller a soft pass on the sex pest stuff since he literally had a softball sized chunk of his brain removed that controls executive function and every allegation is from after that.

I dunno man Scrubs being the oldest and longest running show makes me a bit hesitant to call it deep at all, especially given that Community and Parks & Rec both had entire seasons you could say suck rear end.

Anyhow, this is well worth everyone's time:

The Office is one of my all time favorite shows but I was in my early/mid 20s when it came out so it resonated super hard. Also the first few seasons are incredibly good and even the disjointed later seasons had some really brilliant bright spots (Robert California particularly).

Robert California was the best thing about The Office post-Steve Carrell. I like to think that James Spader didn't even get a script and he would just wing it and they'd fit a plot around him

I loved it when it first came out but then it got kind of over saturated and the basic kids at my college got way too into and it lost its allure.

But then I rewatched it like ten years later and it actually is really loving funny and holds up well. Steve Carrell is just brilliant. Like, feels weird to say that his performance was underrated considering he was the lead in the decade's most popular sitcom… but he was underrated somehow still.

Carrell and Rainn Wilson are perfectly cast. Probably the most perfect casting decision in TV history outside of Jason Alexander as George Costanza. He’s still the king of sitcom comedy as being probably the best character of all time and could not have been played by anyone else.

Sadly he was a reality tv personality on the same network so there were maybe like 4 or 5 references throughout the series.
