Hey all,
Round One has been and gone, ending with The Borgias beating M*A*S*H, and House taking victory over Desperate Housewives.
Let's take a quick look at some of the results from the first round. Our first poll in the entire competition saw Arrow, one of our seeded shows, lose at the hands of comic book rival Marvel with its ABC show Agents of SHIELD. Arrow was the first seeded show to crash out in the first round, but it certainly wasn't the last. Legend of the Seeker lost to The Blacklist, though to those of you (like me) who hadn't even heard of the show, it may not come as a major surprise. Dominion went out at the hands of Doctor Who. Breaking Bad, seen by fans and critics alike as the best show ever made, lost to Firefly. Finally, Game of Thrones went out with Hannibal doing the honours of beating it.
On the contrary, let's look at the seeded shows that went through. Castle triumphed over Gilmore Girls. Fringe knocked out Chuck, Once Upon a Time beat The Office. Unsurprisingly, LOST beat Hawaii Five-0 (if you're wondering why I say unsurprisingly, listen to the first 28 minutes of this podcast). Reigning champion Supernatural progressed over Nikita. Buffy beat The Vampire Diaries, Beauty and the Beast beat Alias, FRIENDS beat The Walking Dead, How I Met Your Mother beat The Tomorrow People, Outlander beat Bones and as I mentioned earlier, The Borgias beat M*A*S*H.
Some other shows that went out were The Big Bang Theory, Sons of Anarchy, Sleepy Hollow and The Good Wife. Obviously, you can see the full set of results in the draw below. And, without any further ado, we move into Round Two...
Today we see Agents of SHIELD take on Battlestar Galactica, which knocked out One Tree Hill in the last round. We then move on and have The Blacklist face Angel.
