If the four American broadcast networks had a Hall of Fame - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

James28 · 02-11-2013, 05:32 PM

(An idea of mine)

So the four major American broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, FOXBC, and NBC) had each created a "Hall of Fame" for primetime TV shows that used to air on the networks. There are two eligibility requirements: The program must have ran for at least four seasons on the network, and must not be a currently-running series.

The first class would be in 2010, and for that year, there would be eight inductees each from ABC, CBS, and NBC, and four from the FOX BC. Every year thereafter, there can be six inductees from ABC, CBS, and NBC, and two from FOX BC.

First CBS Hall of Fame Class - 2010
I Love Lucy
Gunsmoke
The Mary Tyler Moore Show
All in the Family
M*A*S*H
Dallas
Murphy Brown
Everybody Loves Raymond

First NBC Hall of Fame Class - 2010

^^I started this game, so do not ruin it. I am the only person who got to choose the enshrinees for the first class in 2010 in the networks' hall of fame, agree with it or not. I'm playing the role of "committee", and the "committee" can select the members of the Hall of Fame class. Other SitcomsOnline members are playing the role of "consideration".

Now, any ideas for inductees for the next class (in 2011)? Remember, six shows for ABC/NBC/CBS and two for FOX, and they can be from any decade. But remember the two eligibility requirements.

Zoneboy · 02-11-2013, 06:20 PM

Whatever, sorry if I offended you and your thread but I have the right to disagree with your choices whether you like it or not. Of all the shows CBS has ever aired, I can't see having Murphy Brown and Everybody Loves Raymond in the initial class. I'm not a big fan of I love Lucy either but for it's place in TV history it's an appropriate choice.

James28 · 02-11-2013, 06:36 PM

I don't care if you have rights to agree or disagree, you are not the selection committee, you're consideration. I had to induct TV shows from ALL decades in the first class (even the 90s and 2000s), so Twilight Zone and Andy Griffith (both 1960s) are gonna have to wait till next year (2011).

To other members (the "consideration"), hand in your suggestions for 2011 HoF classes, please.

So we have no say what is going to be "the best"? Seems kind of pointless then.

James28 · 02-11-2013, 09:51 PM

^^You do not know how a "hall of fame" works, Personally, you don't know how anything works. There are a small number inductees in one HoF class for a calendar year.

There have been so many long-running scripted shows on network TV throughout history, and that gave me an idea to start this game. And in this game, I am the only one who gets to play the role of the HoF selection committee, and the other SitcomsOnline Board members can put forward any suggestions to the Seleciton Committee. As the Selection Commottee, I am the one who gets to make the final selections.

Regulus · 02-11-2013, 10:12 PM

I have to protest that a TV Show has to be at least four seasons to be eligible. That leaves out a lot of TV Shows that are considered classics including:

The Addams Family

Batman

The Courtship of Eddie's Father

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

Land of the Giants

Lost in Space

The Munsters

Nanny and the Professor

Star Trek

The Time Tunnel

and many, many more.

Wow, no need for a personal attack.

I personally disagree and believe that all of the members on Sitcoms Online should be able to include shows, but this is your thread. Since I do disagree, I will just avoid the thread and let you do your thing.
