Trio Trophy - Day Eighteen

Bracket finals this week, we'll do a bracket a day with the usual two days to vote. Semifinals next week (Monday and Wednesday), with the finals match-up the following week.

Today, the Turn On bracket final:

(1) Sports Night v. (10) The Tick

How they got here:

Sports Night
Round 1: defeated Idiot Savants, 7-2
Round 2: defeated The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., 5-2
Round 3: defeated Buffalo Bill, 3-1

The Tick
Round 1: defeated Stacatto, 5-3
Round 2: defeated My So Called Life, 3-0
Round 3: defeated Black Sheep Squadron, 4-2

Marked for Death: Sports Night removed all doubt over a short run when it brought on Paula Marshall to play Jenny, a porn star who is apparently goofy for sports nerds based on her interest in Jeremy Goodwin. The Tick's dead show walking status was confirmed when Liz Vassey was cast as Captain Liberty. While she's not lured CSI onto the rocks just yet, her pre-Tick resume includes Pig Sty, Maximum Bob, the Fantasy Island revival, Push, Nevada and Veritas: the Quest.

This show was doomed well before Paula Marshall. Sorry, but the curse attached in Episode 4, when Ted McGinley first appeared.

I guess I have to vote for Sports Night.

Paula Marshall didn't kill Seinfeld, anyway

Sports Night. When the live action show isn't as good as the cartoon...
