Thanks to everyone for voting in our seeding poll and our Sweet Sixteen!
Looks like our top six seeds are still alive! Big wins all around for our competitors after the first round. It was a close competition between The Bluths and The Adamas, but in the end, the dysfunctional family we all love beat the Commander and his son. Two huge upsets for the ladies from Gilmore Girls by the Connor family, and for the Bartowski family by the only animated family in our bracket. This week’s match-ups will be very interesting to see! Vote now, and check back often to see if your favorite families are winning!

TSCC Rules!
What it boils down to is Tam beating Summers in final two, no surprise here.
I predict the last round will be Connor vs. Castle
The Connors beats all.
TSCC FTW!
I wouldn’t be so sure about a Connor vs. Castle finale. The battle of the Glau shows will be quite fierce and it could be that the Tams come out on top.
GO SARAH! GO SARAH GO SARAH……
You made me choose between the Bluths and the Tams?! That is sick and cruel.
The Connors forever!
Summers, Mars, Bluths, Winchesters for me this round. I’m hoping for a Mars/Bluth finale myself.
damn damn damn i can see it coming “the connors vs the tam” thats going to be epic
i’ll have to throw a coin to decide.
Cmon, vote Tam, River rules
Looks like this is the first bracket that Firefly won’t be winning. Too bad, but it had to happen sometime.
That kinda depends on how broadly you define Firefly.
TSCC!!
its so hard to pick between bluth and tam, mars and castle cause i love all four!!!! AH!!! it so hard!!!
Veronica Mars rules!!!
Ugh, choosing between the Tams and the Bluths was very painful. But I had to go with the Bluths. Hopefully Simon and River’ll forgive me
.
Bluth v. Tam might be a tough decision to make if you are voting based on which show is better, but if you are voting on the merits of the families alone, it’s Bluth HANDS DOWN.
I’m calling bs on including Tobias with the Bluth family, you’re obviously rigging the competition because he is the best character, and technically not part of the family
TSCC Rules!
Firefly rules!
How is it Chloe Sulliv…Veronica Mars is beating family Castle? Weird.
Hm, I made my votes, checked the results and checked them again an hour later. No changes in 3 competitions, but the Bluths are 50 votes up. Unbelievable! Seems there is a “very dedicated” fan out there.
Funny. Bluth had 120 TOTAL votes last bracket, now it’s triple that. Indeed, someone is extremely “dedicated”, and that’s putting it nicely.
I think Whedonites aren’t the only ones with their own message boards, forums and websites. Looks like Arrested Development fans found the bracket.
The Bluths were an easy vote, but did anyone else wince a little at the “George Sr., George, George Michael, Gob” goof?
Ha! had to go with the Tams over the Bluths – hard decision, but the Bluths, when it comes down to it, are all a pack of narcissists. The Tams are way cooler and more hardcore.
The Connors are ruling.
Where is the next round??
