Splitsider

Round two of the Best Sitcom Episode of All Time Tournament has come to a close, and we're now down to just eight episodes in contention from an original pool of 32. This round actually had more blowouts than the last round — the real heavyweights emerged. But don't expect that to be the case next week during round three, when we'll have such battles as Seinfeld's "The Contest" up against tourney favorite "Marge vs. the Monorail." And Community still has two episodes in the tournament, but we'll see if it manages to hold its own against the Arrested Development juggernaut.

In any case, on to the results!
