I just gotta say, I think it is a travesty! A TRAVESTY! That Jackie Harris never made the cut!
Laurie Metcalf won the Emmy three years in a row fer cryin’ out loud.
::sobs::
:)
Jennifer Carpenter’s acting is some of the most horrendous stuff I have ever seen on Dexter.
Dany -v- Jessica?? COME ON!
CJ vs. Olivia in the first round?
Goodbye, cruel world!
Are you kidding me with these? I’ve got to pick between Leslie Knope and Claire Huxtable in the first round?! Starbuck vs Fuck Yeah, Jessica Fletcher?! Julia or the Goddamn Golden Girls?
That sound is my brain exploding and running out my ears.
Also, my kid just told me that Lily would take Lisa Simpson, so we’re gonna be headbutting until this whole thing is over, I can just tell.
And then I conceded the point! Jerk. *teen glare*
Good girl. ; )
This bracket is going to destroy me. Roslin vs. Donna? Julia Sugarbaker against the Goddamned Golden Girls? All of my decisions will be wrong, no matter what.
Dana Scully vs River Tam?! OUCH.
Sobbing already for Roslin vs. Donna. Don’t fight, ladies. Be BFFs instead. It’s what the universe intended.
(Really, there needs to be crossover fic where Donna is Roslin’s assistant and they rule the universe.)
If I had more time, I would write that fic.
When I tallied the results, I almost cried when I saw they were head to head.
Angela vs Buffy is going to killll meeee. Uuuugh. Bones vs Liz Lemon is going to be tough too. Uuugh and Claire Huxtable vs. Leslie Knope. Whyyy!?! Also, our nerdiness is showing through…so many nerdy shows on here. I love it. Even if I don’t watch some of them *cough*DrWho*cough*
I’m actually okay on those pairs, b/c I still haven’t watched Buffy, 30 Rock or Parks and Rec.
I’m getting kicked off the cool lunchtable, aren’t I?
(DOCTOR WHO 4EVA)
I don’t even. Not even Parks and Rec?
You should join the Buffy liveblog next week and play the role of my grandmother, ‘What is this? What’s going on? Why doesn’t she wear a nice skirt?” And I say that with love.
Hahaha! Challenge accepted!
Claire Huxtable vs. Leslie Knope is literally the hardest decision I have ever had to make [on the internet].
As a possible minority around here, I found Angela v Buffy to be one of the easiest match-ups, just because I’ve harbored a long hatred for Angela Chase lo these many years. Under other circumstances, I’d expect my girl Buffy to take the whole thing, but, man, I’m saying it now — I think the Goddamn Golden Girls are gonna end up on top.
