Buffalo Bill
Round 1: defeated Lateline, 6-0
Round 2: defeated The Dana Carvey Show, 3-2
POINTLESS CONNECTION: Jay Tarses earned producer and writer credits for Buffalo Bill. His son, Matt, would earn producer and writer credits for Sports Night, which first aired on ABC when Jamie - Jay's daughter and Matt's sister - was head of programming for the network.

Sports Night - while the show is still nowhere near deserving of its accolades, It did manage to make Teri Polo look better than she's ever looked. Which takes some doing.
Police Squad! - could this show coast to the title without a single vote against it?
Sports Night
Police Squad!
Yeah, Teri Polo, that's a reason to vote for Sports Night. Greg should go back to not watching TV. Vote here is for Buffalo Bill. Sports Night's second season meta-plotline of the show within the show fighting for its life started well, but got overdone. And then the white knight buying the network for its undersea cable? Couldn't find a cow to catapult in or go to movie sign when the loose ends didn't come together? Buffalo Bill remained an unrepentant bastard to the end.
Because nothing should go undefeated, Andy Richter. Police Squad did get its due on the big screen, meanwhile, I just downloaded a couple old episodes of Andy Richter, and got lots of looks from my staff as I cackled through lunch hour watching. Although is it just me, or is there something inexplicably weird about Paget Brewster's face? Not ugly, just sum'n ain't right.
