FEB 16 > Sitcom Draft

[MilkSpiller22]

I want to keep the "positions" as is.
If you want to draft a recurring character because you like him, then draft him as your "child" or "flex."
To be honest, I think many of my picks will be "supporting cast" types and not the leads.
Because they were the ones I liked the most.
Why draft Mary Tyler Moore (lead) when Ted Knight (supporting cast) stole the show?
I feel that's the case with most TV shows.

oh... i know most will be supporting... I just want one "recurring" so we can go as obscure as possible... Like Puddy in seinfeld.... or a recurring character like that in another show...simpsons has a lot of fun ones...

 

[averagejoe]

You can be as obscure as you like. No one loses in this draft.

true...lol

 

[Mebert]

Can I join this? It sounds awesome

 

[averagejoe]

@Mebert
Sorry but we're trying to flll the spots with our regulars first.
And it looks like we're there.

 

[TREFF]

Thoughts about having different decades and a couple of flex years.
But I don't want to have to check anyone's picks.
And if someone wants to try to draft all of the Brady Bunch... have at it.
Marsha is the only one worth owning.

was always partial to Cindy..something about those curls....oh, and that lisp??? Damn!!

@averagejoe - to be clear; living, dead, or animated are all fair game. ....

Seems to be some confusion during the discussion...

I thought we were drafting by CHARACTER, not by actors & actresses?

Posted this last August:

like @averagejoe said to me after my last suggestion... there wont be any winners or losers... LOL I do have a strategy for this draft though... Hopefully I get the first pick so I can get George Costanza, I don't think he is worth the first pick or even a top 5 pick, but I need him to succeed in my strategy...

 

[Chef99]

Oooh, I got a coupla of good ones!

 

[averagejoe]

to be clear; living, dead, or animated are all fair game.

Oui. Si. Yes.

We want the CHARACTER. But it may help to list the actor if the reference is obscure or not as well known.
For example, Jerry Stiller had memorable roles as Frank Costanza (Seinfeld) and Arthur Spooner (King of Queens). But he's been in other sitcoms such as the short-lived Tattinger's as well as the Love Boat.
That's why we need the character.


So if we're sticking with the 16 owners we have already, and no one has any other objections to what has been discussed, I'll randomize the draft order Sunday night.
I am concerned we haven't heard from Sam?
@ehb5 > you liked the original post, so I'm concluding you're in, right?

On a personal note, I rarely watch any of the current shows.
But I do like Big Bang and Mom.
So I'll probably be going old-school in this draft.
Pretty similar to my fantasy football drafts.

 

[averagejoe]

George Costanza, I don't think he is worth the first pick or even a top 5 pick

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
He is definitely a top 5 pick.
Nearly all of the humor of the show was based off of his idiocy.

 

[averagejoe]

@Chef99 @TKOSpikes
It would not surprise me if you two pull off the first post-draft trade.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

will this get me in

Damn you!!!!!!!!!!!! Eddie Haskell was my sleeper!

I'm here!!!!!!!!!!!! On a kind of crappy note, ya think maybe you should have a back up fer me just incase I can't draft on the 16th? Wonder if @wilwhite would stand in fer me if needed? Works fer me cuz Andrew Luck has never been in a sit-com. Hahaha!

I may have been premature with the FEB 16 date. I was planning on 2 weeks after your surgery.
And the 16th is not quite 2 weeks.
If anything, I'd rather push the date back a day or two for you.

Idk. I think he may lose value because the main 4 will all be drafted and then probably some recurring.

It's like choosing an MVP of the league from a team with other options.

Ugh depends. Id love too. But whats the time frame for this and am I going to be holding people up if Im slow?

Im swamped for the foreseeable future as evidenced by the fact I dont have the time to actually read this thread and find out anything myself lol.

Why is it I think this thread will rival some of the other MBBRL threads in length and comedy??? This is gonna be gold. A real reason to live!!!!!!!!
