On Battle of the 90s Juggernauts: Seinfeld vs. The Simpsons

If Seinfeld can get past "Last Exit from Springfield" (the better Simpsons nominee, I think) it can get by "Monorail".

On The Best Sitcom Episode Ever Tournament: Round One Results!

The overall winner will come out of the '90s and will be either Seinfeld "The Contest" or The Simpsons "Monorail". Friends and South Park will be crushed here. In '50s/Wildcard I expect Lucy to meet Community next round, and probably Community winning that. In 70s/80s I'm thinking Cheers is a lock for the final four. And 21st century has gotta be Arrested Development meeting Office UK next round, with Arrested Development making it to final four.

On Hey Readers: What Do You Want to See More of on Splitsider?

Adam, I love the site. I like the daily twitter coverage, but the best stuff is the in depth features. I loved the work on horse e books, Fridays, 10 promising pilots, hipster run-off, the very long SNL series, etc, etc. Those are analysis I feel that I couldn't see anywhere else. The tournament is fun because it has encouraged me to explore sitcoms I've never really seen before. I guess the most interesting stuff to me is your explorations of the comedy world and comedy history. i think you guys do a good job spreading out your coverage between comedy news, movies, sitcoms, and online stuff. Keep the news updating going. Once a week podcast and web series recommendations are all I need. I'd really rather not see any youtube or viral videos hit the site. I like it being mostly about professionals. i don't really read the more creative pieces (sorry!), and honestly, I wouldn't read any more web coverage, or local stand-up coverage. Though, I guess I would like occasional reviews of stand-up specials or albums. Oh yeah, my favorite post ever might be the Comprehensive Guide to Comedians on Twitter. So helpful!

On Curb Your Enthusiasm vs. Always Sunny and Taxi vs. Fawlty Towers

With all due respect to the Nightman, I've got to go with Curb, just because IASIP would not even exist with the influence of Larry David.

On 30 Rock vs. Community and Roseanne vs. Mary Tyler Moore

I think i have to abstain from the Community vs. 30 Rock vote. Those are both contemporary classics.

On Kicking Off the Best Sitcom Episode Ever Tournament: I Love Lucy vs. The Honeymooners and The Simpsons vs. Seinfeld

@Adam Frucci @My Number is my Address @Anthony Coro: All good points indeed. And Adam, I see now that Simpsons has two and I'm glad, they deserve it.
