Pretty damn legit. You could make a legit case for all four. Deadwood. Sopranos. Seinfeld. South Park. All four excellent. In my perfect world I would have had Arrested Development in place of Seinfeld, and the showrunners for GoT wouldn't have been complete douchbags and that would have won the whole damn thing. But any of these four finalists are good chit. But if Deadwood isn't going to win, South Park should.
 
To me, there's such a huge gap between any other show in this tournament--and history--and South Park. The rest are fighting over second. AD should have been final four, that was unfortunate seeding.
 
I want Seinfeld to win just to piss off Pup.

Almost everyone likes Seinfeld. It’s funny, easy watching. I like Curb quite a bit better because it doesn’t have the network tv restrictions, but Seinfeld is definitely one of the greatest sitcoms ever.
 
Family Guy not being in there was wrong. Not sure it should have won, but King of the Hill is horrible compared to Family Guy. Family Guy is maybe even more consistently funny than South Park, but doesn’t have the same peak.

Whoever said South Park has been good for 23 years is stretching it. The show was best when it was grounded in some reality. All the celebrity stuff and really far out there plots have always lessened the show IMO.

You think Family Guy is more consistently funny than South Park but don't like far out plots?...

I love Family Guy. It just didn’t get much support when I did the initial market research.

Fair point, but they are different. The South Park episodes making fun of Fmaily Guy are great btw.

The number of phrases originating in Seinfeld that have worked their way into our? everyday language is pretty amazing:

Shrinkage
Double dipper
Man hands
Master of your domain
No soup for you
Yadda yadda yadda
They're real and they're spectacular

Bunches more. I could probably name a couple from South Park or Curb that 'might' come up in everyday conversation. But the audience for Seinfeld was MASSIVE and crossed all age groups. Those will be around until @RaceBannon[/s] people in the 20's and 30's die off.

Dude. You're The Throbber. "Joobs" is a South Park gem used on this forum just earlier today!

Joobs pre-dates South Park, fren.

Some nice joobs coming off Mercer Island in the early 80's.

 
Invalid. Married with Children didn’t even make the field. The episode of Al taking a literal vacation on the couch is one of the greatest sitcom episodes of all time.

Family Guy is dogshit and was rightfully ommited from the tournament.

Mostly agree but not when Peter fights the chicken though. Five or six seasons of just that could have propelled Family Guy into the big dance.
 
Married with Children was a clear miss. Barely legal hotties making regular appearances. Some of the best insults in television history. Polk high, no ma'am.
