The Results Are In: THE 2016 JACKSON AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN SITUATION COMEDY

Welcome to another Wildcard Wednesday and the results of our second annual contest! This year, we had 12 players with an average score of approximately 70/100. (That’s 23/33 guessed correctly.) With a grand total of 82/100, or 27/33, Elaine is our grand prize winner! She wins:

  • An original script for The Golden Girls’ classic “A Little Romance”
  • An original script for Cheers‘ classic “The Days Of Wine And Neuroses”
  • The second season of The New Dick Van Dyke Show (1971-1974, CBS)
  • A near-complete run (43/44 episodes) of The Tony Randall Show (1976-1978, CBS)
  • Two rare episodes of the local Boston sitcom Park St. Under (1979-1980, WCVB)
  • A rare heretofore unshared/undiscussed episode of MTM’s Paul Sand In Friends And Lovers (1974-1975, CBS)
  • The complete run of The Golden Palace (1992-1993, CBS)

In second place were Track, Charlie, and Michael with 79/100 or 26/33. They win digital copies of The Golden Palace and Paul Sand In Friends And Lovers. I will be contacting each of the four above winners via email with information regarding their prizes.
