The voting in UKCC24 suggested there is a very large OLDER demographic on NSC, which would likely help Homer and co.
Unless you're saying The Simpsons is too recent?!

Personally, the ones that would comfortably make MY 16 but have not made it;
Bob's Burgers (far prefer it to Family Guy now)
Seinfeld
Nathan For You (far too niche so I didn't bother, but it is utter genius, one of the best things I've seen in years)
An argument to be made for the original...
I too was very surprised at the lack of Seinfeld, even after I dropped the name in to see if it gained some traction. Friends was mentioned but didn't get 2 mentions, as is required.
Much like major tournaments though, you do see an Italy or a France sit out every so often.
NOMINATIONS CLOSED.
I am sorry if your preferred option(s) did not make it through.
I want a high quality, shorter tournament. 32 teams felt too bulky, and I didn't want the complications/messy group endings that a 24 team tournament would entail.
Think of this as like an old school Euros...
Teacher: “So maybe you’ll see one day that we don’t need TV to entertain us.”
Beavis & Butthead laugh.
Butthead: “He said anus.”
Teacher: “Have you listened to a single word I’ve said?”
Butthead: “Err, yeah. Anus.”
Sorry, but I've seen what happens when you give a little in these tournaments - what about Australia? What about Ireland?
I have to nip this in the bud immediately. For one thing it would mean renaming the whole thing.
***NOMINATIONS NOW CLOSED***
Following on from the success of the UKCC24, I present to you;
The US Comedy Cup 2024 - NOMINATIONS THREAD
A 16-show tournament, so do what you can to make sure your preferred shows make the cut. Cartoons (Simpsons, Family Guy, Rick & Morty, Bob's Burgers etc)...
