Nich was away for the weekend, and the last pick was Saturday night. Let's give him until tomorrow morning to get his pick in, then it's on Aaron if he hasn't by then.

Speaking of which, Reality Series is thin for me as well so I'll take a guilty pleasure show here

Big Brother

Sorry

as much as Survivor is the classic, we find ourselves watching Big Brother every year, but Survivor only periodically

Medical shows is a very weak category for me, so I'll grab Scrubs while I still can.

or i'll take it in the "gone too soon" category if it qualifies

it was def cancelled too soon, but it did last 3 seasons? or 4? but the end was rushed and unplanned, and unfinished

imo it didn't qualify, but idk

I'm going to pick Our Flag Means Death for Gone too Soon.

Cancelled after 2 seasons, but it was a cracking show. Brutal, funny and sweet at times. Never boring, there's always something going on with these pirates.

Trailer https://youtu.be/nYZQYmNXh2s?feature=shared

When my wife wanted to watch it I thought I wouldn't like it. Seemed predictable and unfunny, but it was actually great. Went places I wouldn't have expected and was funny and original. Would recommend if you've not already.

For Police Procedural, I'm going with The Blacklist.

The final couple seasons were pretty meh, but before that it was really good. Entertaining cases of the week, that also moved the overarching story forward. Some typical network TV shenanigans to extend the mysteries, but overall very entertaining in a category that I watch a lot of (my wife loves it) but generally don't like much

Our Flag Means Death is great; after draft I plan to do a list with shows that I've watched with my kids, and this was going to be on that list, but now I'll find something else

Blacklist was my other Police Procedural if not for Brooklyn 99...love Reddington

Don't think so.

It was cancelled after 3 seasons and then it was back.

It would be the equivalent of picking futurama or family guy for that category.
