The sweetest possible match-up saw Sesame Street fall to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood 56-44.

Our final region got off with the 16 seed getting 1 vote and falling to 1 seed Cheers 94-6.

8 The Office vs 9 Full House

The Office knocked out the Tanners of Full House 59-41. Sorry Aunt Becky.

5 Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt vs 12 Saved By the Bell

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was the reason we are having this bracket theme this year. I absolutely love that song. It drew a tough 12 seed in Saved By the Bell who took out our girl Kimmy 89-11. Brutal.

4 Golden Girls vs 13 SpongBob SquarePants

This one was much closer than I anticipated as the Golden Girls got a 1 vote win over SpongeBob SquarePants 52-48.

6 The Simpsons vs 11 DuckTales

Similarly, The Simpsons held off a big challenge from DuckTales and got a 1 vote win 52-48.

3 Friends vs 14 Scrubs

This one. This is the one that broke me last night. I honestly thought Friends had a chance to win the whole thing. Scrubs might be my favorite comedy of all time and the theme song almost didn’t make the bracket. That didn’t stop out plucky doctors from having the most blindsided win 55-45. I really did sit jaw opened for like 4 minutes when I saw this one.

7 Married…With Children vs 10 Night Court

Married…With Children moves on beating 10 seed Night Court 68-32.

2 The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air vs 15 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Our last match-up saw the Fresh Prince get into the round of 32 on the back of a 71-29 win over TMNT.

 

That leaves us with our bracket looking like this:
