You’ve wait and waited, and we finally have your answer.
It took a long time to narrow down the 65 song field. It seemingly took longer to weed out all the votes that took place within 2 seconds of each other. But we have arrived.
Your 2009 TV Theme Madness Champion…
Thanks to everyone for voting, it’s been a hell of a ride. Bring us any ideas for next year’s tournament.
Fear not all ye TV Theme Song fans. We have arrived at the four greatest theme songs of all time.
From the Norm Region, Cheers thoroughly destroyed The Simpsons, racking up 68% of the vote.
The crowd from the bar will be taking on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, which once again garnered the most votes this round. Happy Days managed a meager 16% of the votes against Uncle Phil and the gang. The Relaxin’ All Cool Region was decided before this tourney began.
On the other side of the bracket, both #5 seeds pulled upsets. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles took out Gilligan with 70% of the vote. Quite a run in the Bayside Region.
Leonardo and the boys will take on the scrapy gang over at The Muppet Show, who beat out Salute Your Shorts to snatch the last spot in the Final Four. Ugg was so pissed, he killed Michael and replaced him with Pinsky.
The plan was to have the polls close at midnight last night, but 3 match-ups were tied. Therefore, the cutoff has been extended by 24 hours. If you’ve voted already, vote again. We have to break these ties somehow.
The tied games in question:
#1 Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? vs. #5 The Muppet Show #2 The A Team vs. #3 Salute Your Shorts #2 Flintstones vs. #11 The Simpsons
It’s finally here!! We know this should have been posted yesterday, but the Penguins won 6 – 1, which makes the Pens drinking game a little difficult to handle.
Not too many close games this last round, as you can see from the results. Vote here. A lot of blow outs and mismatches. Let’s take a look:
Norm Region
Cheers rolled as expected, but the real story here is Cinderella. The Simpsons took down Duck Tales, one of our dark horses to make the final four. This creates a classic match up of the two longest running animated shows in history. The drubbing that Ghostbusters put on Beverly Hillbillies made Jed Clampet move back to Sticksville.
Relaxin’ All Cool Region
Sesame Street received 4 votes. Why even bother to show up at the gym? And Inspector Gadget pulled off the upset in impressive style. The Gadget has to like it’s chances against Happy Days.
Bayside Region
All chalk in the Bayside Region Almost all chalk in the Bayside Region. Gilligan’s Island is looking about as strong as anyone at this point.
Gumshoe Region
The Muppet Show pulls off a slight upset, but garners more votes than it’s upcoming opponent, Carmen Sandiego. The Salute Your Shorts / A Team matchup make this region the one to watch out for.
In case you forgot, voting for the second round of the TV Theme Madness ends tonight at midnight, so get your votes in now. Go here to vote. Do it. Do it.
