The Bore Decides: What was the whitest sitcom of the 90s? (VICTOIRE)

[Great Rumbler]

Voted.  Some tough match-ups there.

Seinfeld vs. Will and Grace... man. I mean, Seinfeld should in theory just run away with this entire contest, but that's a good match-up right there.

I feel like Seinfeld gets a bit of pass here because it is at least in part about making fun of white people, like Arrested Development.

[Kara]

Awesome, is there a way to check current results I missed?

Because this round is susceptible to voter fraud (it's just open voting), I felt that having the results be visible only to me during voting was a check against ballot stuffing since you have no idea what contests are even close.

e: In the rounds that count I'm going to actually have assigned voter numbers or something.

[nachobro]

This was a tough round. I still believe in Murphy Brown!

[Kara]

[larrydavid]

holy shit at this frasier knockout and seinfeld over will and grace, this is very unpredictable

[jakefromstatefarm]

Will had a black boss at one point, Wanda Sykes showed up for an episode or two, why is it unfathomable that Seinfeld's whiter?

[Great Rumbler]

Frasier AND Raymond knocked out round one?!

[Kara]

The turnout was pretty low (in aggregate), y'all could have voted early and often BUT YOU LET FRASIER DOWN.

[nachobro]

Mr. Belvedere OVER Murphy Brown

That could have gone either way. 

[Mandark]

Veronica's Closet, Caroline in the City, and Suddenly Susan all out in the first round.  :'(

I really feel that watching three hours of NBC every Thursday, including whatever got slotted between Friends/Seinfeld/ER was the ultimate suburban 90's cactivity.

[larrydavid]

Will had a black boss at one point, Wanda Sykes showed up for an episode or two, why is it unfathomable that Seinfeld's whiter?

i could point to that questionable jackie lawyer character or the monks owner, but i will defer to your knowledge of will and grace

[pilonv1]

The turnout was pretty low (in aggregate), y'all could have voted early and often BUT YOU LET FRASIER DOWN.

I forgot to vote

Disgusted that Newsradio made it through, especially over Veronica's closet

[Reb]

Bump.

[Kara]

Yeah, I have been slacking on this. Sorry y'all. Packing my life up, studying the Internal Revenue Code, trying to rebuild my shattered psyche, looking to quench the thirst, etc.

I'll get round 2 up tonight, or at least try to. A new bracket might be too much doe.

[Groogrux]

I'm just now seeing this thread and I have only one question:

How was Family Matters not included in this poll?

Some of you may be saying, "But they were black!"

My response is, "Were they?  Were they really?"

[Groogrux]

Also, I'm looking forward to voting in Round 2

Round 2 is up

[Kara]

Prolly gonna close this after the weekend is up, so vote early late, vote often Boreans.

[El Babua]

I was planning to vote again after seeing this bumped, but then I forgot what exactly I voted for last week and don't want to soil the integrity of the poll.

[larrydavid]

these matchups are impossible, Mad About You vs. Single Guy, how, how is it possible to choose

[etiolate]

How the fuck did Frasier lose to King of Queens? I quit.

[El Babua]

Edit: Can't read

idk either

[Kara]

How the fuck did Frasier lose to King of Queens? I quit.

People don't vote and the results are catastrophic.

Once I get my desktop unpacked Imma prolly gone close the polls, FYI everyone.

No more mobile posting.

[pilonv1]

I'm hitching my wagon to Boston Common as a Cinderella

[nudemacusers]

why am i having to choose between full house and growing pains. can i click both?

[pilonv1]

White 90s sitcoms are not the domain of easy choices.

[Kara]

I have to pretend like I'm a normal human being for a few hours with the roomies, but I'll for sure close the polls and announce the results before I go to bed.

VOTE IF YA HAVEN'T. VOTE IF YA ALREADY DID. VOTE AGAIN IF YA ALREADY VOTED AGAIN.

[Human Snorenado]

Question (number 17) title:
Is Marxism-Leninism the one true science?   

There are no valid ballots because they all rank more than one choice as the most-preferred choice.

Voters can only mark one choice for this question, and there is no majority, so there is not enough information to identify the most popular choice (or the least popular choice).

Bourgeois democracy.

[Human Snorenado]

Boston Common over Seinfeld? Really? I'm done with this nonsense, if we're not gonna take it seriously. #notallcacs

[Kara]

Round 3 Polls are open

http://www.VoteFair.org/cgi-bin/votefairgenballot.cgi/votingid=60096-42894-14683

[nudemacusers]

it's wings or friends brehs. why delay the inevitable.

[nudemacusers]

the only reason seinfeld is out of the running is white protectionism. cacs gonna cac

[Kara]

Blossom and Grace Under Fire are whiter than y'all remember.

I will sometimes do a Joey Lawrence "woah" but kids don't recognize it.

[Human Snorenado]

Clearly I should have written a script to vote continuously.

[nudemacusers]

Blossom and Grace Under Fire are whiter than y'all remember.

grace under fire wasn't idealistic enough to truly be white entertainment. I mean roseanne is probably the caciest of them all but that was too much real shit. us cacs need aspirational entertainment devoid of the daily struggle to survive.

[nudemacusers]

But isn't focusing on white struggle the whitest thing you can do? #thedualities

yeah, the struggle to find a date in lower manhattan when you have that big deal that needs to close by midnight to make your bonus. and oh man is it raining outside!

besides, we all know that poor white people did it to themselves. :lenowned

[larrydavid]

oscar enough with the triggering, no one can take this much paul reiser

pouring one out for mr. belvedere and empty nest, but just about all my other non-seinfeld/boy meets world picks seem to have made it.

full house still taking this though, no question

[Great Rumbler]

Seinfeld was so fucking white. Amost every minority that came on played a stereotype. Almost every one.

Seinfeld ended with all the white people being dragged into court for being terrible and then tossed in jail.

[Himu]

What? This isn't true.

[Momo]

Blossom vs Wings

[nachobro]

Goddamn I forgot about Boston Common. That was some white ass whiteness.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I don't want to vote in a poll without Perfect Strangers

If I have time I'm going to close the polls tonight.

My grandma has a collection of Andy Griffith tapes. She has the entire series on DVD.  I grew up watching that and Alfred Hitchcock and Dragnet with her on nick at nite. She says she's going to give me her collection when she passes and Jesus Christ just the thought makes me want to cry. I love you g-ma!!!! Gonna drive over place tomorrow to say his dn give a kissy kiss.

feel like jon lovitz counts as "ethnic" by hollywood standards

He's Jewish eastern european

[pilonv1]

andy dick.  dave foley.  jon lovitz.

Surely countered by this subtle take on racial tension



Also Lovitz was only in for one season, he barely counts.

[pilonv1]

Dave Foley is Canadian, he can't help being white

[benjipwns]

[Great Rumbler]

On the other hand, Jon Lovitz punched Andy Dick in the face, so there's that.
