Best of UM Bracket?

[LooksLikeCRicci]

I'm not sure if we've done this in the past, but I've been on various social media groups (pretty sure it's The Office) where we have done voting pools to determine the best episode of specific seasons and ultimately, the best episodes of the show as voted by the group.

Any interest in doing something like that here?

I'm happy to head it up if there is sufficient interest. Could be fun.

Should we do entire episodes or our favorite segments?

I have about 10 that I'd put up there for my favorites and it would be cool to see which ones would advance!

[LooksLikeCRicci]

I'm thinking we can do favorite segments. Might be easiest.

We don't need to separate it out by season. I'm thinking of this like the "Best of UM" collection that CM promised us, but was never actually delivered.

That sounds cool. I'm in.

[JohnUM]

That would be awesome / fun!

[Hot Jock]

Sounds very cool. So maybe do nominations first to determine seeding, perhaps?

[Labonte18]

What would be the criteria?

I mean, to me, nothing screams "Unsolved Mysteries" like the Dennis Depue case.

Now, was it the best presented? The most captivating? I don't know, but whenever I think about Unsolved Mysteries and a specific case.. It's this one.

So.. Rules. What are they?

The problem with the Dennis DePue case, and there's a few segments like this, is that there's no unsolved mystery to it. A guy snaps and kills his wife. It belongs more on America's Most Wanted then it did on Unsolved Mysteries.

You can bet that the Tim Mcclure segment will be a popular request lmao

[drew790]

Super interested. Like the best segment idea

[isotope]

Great idea - there seems to be a generally agreed canon of truly iconic segments (Angela Hammond, Tara Calico, Bonnie Wilder) it would be great to get a definitive list (perhaps permanent/sticky) at the top of the page...

[TheCars1986]

An idea for seeding would be the threads with the most comments or views.

[LooksLikeCRicci]

Wow! Y'all are technical up in here!

I love the idea of seeding. I'll admit that I'm not sure how to do it. Comment thread length is certainly a good idea, although I'll tell you right now that will make the Wackers and Angela Hammond our immediate front runners.

[Huskerz85]

lol I'd definitely be down for this!

Don't disagree, but that was one of the main things that made the show great, IMO. Even the silly things like the Mystery Rock.. It's everything together that made it great.
