Funny/Not Funny returns in the way it was meant to be enjoyed. Yeah, I threw out the tournament idea once I realized I could go back to doing it the old fashioned way.
First, an explaination for those that either forgot or have never played along to this before.
The idea is very simple. I will (at least make an attempt to) post a TV Show, a movie, a comedian, or something of another ilk each day. I will also provide a description ala wikipedia and a youtube link to a clip should one be available. All you need to do is simply vote whether you believe the item is funny or not. If you vote "funny", the item will gain 1 point. If you vote "not funny" the item loses a point. The total score at the end of the voting period will determine where that item is on the leaderboard. After 20 days, I will then crown champions for each subject (TV Show, Movie, Comedian, Other), an overall champion (highest score of all) and an eternal jobber (worst score of all). We will continue to run the thread, but we will keep track of what items we think are the funniest in each subject.
I must adress a few changes to this system before I continue.
One of the changes I made at the end of the first run was to solve the problem of people unsure of where to vote, and to make the votes of the major fans/haters of a show count more than the votes of a casual viewer.
I have now added a "middle ground" vote. This way you can participate in the voting even if you have no idea what is being nominated. The catch being that no points will be added or subtracted.
I have also added "Hilarious" and "Horrible" to the mix. This will add and subtract 2 points from an item, respectively.
Due to these changes, I will add that I am NOT going to continue the current leaderboard and that I am starting completely fresh with a new one. If you want to nominate something that was nominated the first time around, that is perfectly fine.
One other thing I allow is the nomination of items from you, the wrestlecrappers. If you shoot me a PM of something you want nominated, I might possibly put it up, provided it follows a few ground rules (more info below). I will say that spamming me with the same nomination will pretty much ruin your chances of it getting a shot, and so will being a jerk if your nomination isn't ran. I do not play favorites with nominations, not by item nor the users that submit them, I nominated several items by reader request that I absolutely despised the last time around and left off several things I would have put at the top of the list.

So let's get this going...since the Nerd went there just recently, what better way to kick this off than:
Family Matters is an American sitcom about a middle-class African American family living in Chicago. The series was spun off from Perfect Strangers and revolves around the Winslow family. Midway through the first season, the show introduced the Winslows' nerdy neighbor Steve Urkel (played by Jaleel White), who quickly became its breakout character, and eventually a main character. Family Matters aired from September 22, 1989, to September 19, 1997, on ABC, and moved to CBS from September 19, 1997, to July 17, 1998.
Having aired 215 episodes, Family Matters is the second-longest-running U.S. sitcom with a predominantly African-American cast, surpassed only by The Jeffersons.
