The Critic

But ... How did it take me this long to realize how tragically under-seeded Kolchak is this whole affair? A 10 vs 3 matchup shouldn't have required so much consternation.

Sledgehammer

The Critic, though it shouldn't have gotten this far.

Kolchak - Darren McGavin!

Andy Barker - Because I eagerly look forward to a Conan sketch about Andy dueling Andy in a later round.

Kolchak - I liked The Critic, but the one catch phrase I remember most about the show..."It Stinks!" Thusly, not enough to push it into the bracket finals.

Sledge Hammer - Bad seed, but dedicated voters?
