GROUP STAGE DRAW

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Archer
South Park

Group B

Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Curb Your Enthusiasm
M*A*S*H
Police Squad

Group C
===
Arrested Development
The Big Bang Theory
Flight of the Conchords
Frasier

Group D
===
Parks & Recreation
Cheers
The Office (US)
Family Guy​

NSC members of a certain vintage might be disappointed to see M*A*S*H and Police Squad in the same group. As a Flight of the Conchords fan I am concerned for it's survival. Parks & Recreation going up against The Office (US) is also an intriguing one, given they are very much cut from the same cloth.

Group stages will commence at some point soon, probably after the Biscuit World Cup.

Enjoy!​

Feels like everyone will have what they consider a Group of Death for their tastes. Absolutely Group A for me - Two of the most iconic US animation shows ever made, a modern classic for many in It's Always Sunny...and Archer, which not as many people may know about, but possibly had one of the best ensemble casts to rival any US comedy.

I think you mean Biscuit / Cake FARCE

 

[Giraffe]

The US office by a country mile.

 

[Stato]

Seinfeld?

 

[Chicken Run]

No, Everybody Loves Raymond?

 

[Comrade Sam]

B

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Has to be Frasier for me - it can move effortlessly from knock about physical comedy to high brow humour without missing a beat.

"Daphne does dinner" is a master class in situation comedy.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Modern Family?

 

[Mellotron]

Seinfeld?

I was shocked too.

 

[Mellotron]

Modern Family?

Just missed the cut, by minutes.

 

[anygivensunday]

Group A is the absolute group of death seeing as 3 of them would be semi finalists for me.
Also just noticed the big bang theory sneaking in there ahead of Seinfeld or Modern Family...

 

[albionite]

Where is married with children and two and a half men.

 

[TomandJerry]

For actual laugh and comedy levels South Park tops group A But Simpsons is a very close second

It's definitely not the most well run competition on NSC, but lessons have been learnt and the loose ends will be in ship shape condition by the time the next competition comes round

 

[Cheggers]

No Modern Family or Futurama?

 

[jcdenton08]

No “Friends”? I know people here aren’t really the target demographic, but it is the most streamed comedy show ever with the highest viewing figures for a comedy in American TV history…

Bit of a cock up…!!!

 

[Jeremiah]

What no "The Golden Girls" !!! I'm out.

Or …… thank you @Mellotron so much

What are we having next time, a World's Best Teabag World Cup featuring a Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier?
Or maybe we could find out how NSC thinks the Selby Coalfield compares to other laundry detergents.
