Freaks and Geeks
vs.
Frasier
Previously on BTVSAT:
Freaks and Geeks beat As Times Goes By (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?11693) and Twin Peaks (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?11792) (153.85)
Frasier beat Futurama (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?11622) and South Park (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?11785) (118.00)
This is Frasier's first non-animated opponent. A tough matchup for me. Both excellent series. But I cannot vote against F&G. I'm actually doing a rewatch of it at the present moment. It's even better than I remember it. Pure perfection. I would love to see it make the decade final :)

It's hard. I don't know why I have such a hard time contrasting shows against Fraiser. F&G probably deserved a long run more... but it's ultimately too...incomplete...for me to call it perfect. Not that Fraiser was perfection, either. It's just that it was a strong show in different ways.

I love Both, but I had to go with Frasier. F and G was a great show, but it needed polishing. Frasier is just an awesome show.

It was far more polished. Plus, the premise was a bit more noteworthy than another high school sitcom, even one with exceptional characterizations and bold plotlines. I can't seem to put my finger on my reasons for not really loving Fraiser. I do feel that somehow F&G had the potential to be better... but, yeah, I still don't think that I'll be able to justify voting that way.
Well it was canceled (those fuckers!) after only 12 episodes. And for the life of me I can't figure out why. Such an amazing series, so promising. It could've easily went on for a few seasons. I find that simply depressing that we will not have any more stories with these fantastic characters. But, like I said in a previous poll, we have this one season of near perfection. Nothing can tarnish that.

Well, I'm sure that Rogan will keep trying. :lol:

Frasier for sure. Greatest sitcom I'd ever seen.
And we're tied. Need more geek love here!

I voted for the geeks because I hated Frasier.
Ugh, so close! Come on F&G! :excited:
