With over half the victors of the Daily TV Tournament"s second round receiving double the votes of their competitors, the round on paper seemed uneventful. But this was not the case.

With more voters casting their ballots for Round 2, some picks that seemed destined for our sweet 16 found themselves packing their bags. "Homicide" and "Will & Grace," two fine shows in their genres, fell in the fourth and most heated bracket.

Nowhere was a contest tighter than the instant classic between top seed "ER" and no. 8 "Whose Line is it Anyway?" In a heartbreaking loss for the improv hit, Dr. John Carter of "ER" stunned "Whose Line" fans with a last second surgery, assisted by a long cross-hospital pass from Dr. Greene.

Shows like "The Sopranos," underdog "Saved By the Bell," "Seinfeld" and "The Simpsons" all coasted through their second round matches. Even "Scooby Doo," despite the presence of annoying Scrappy Doo, ran their Mystery Machine over "Twin Peaks."

In other games, the voiceovers of "Wonder Years" were deemed less annoying than those of "Sex & the City," and "Family Ties" drove a stake through "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." This may have been buoyed by the reference to Alex P. Keaton in LFO"s "Summer Girls" song.

In our feature contest, we"ll break down the triumph of "NYPD Blue" over "Will & Grace." The difference really seemed to be in the ABC drama"s longevity. The comedic styling of "Will and Grace" couldn"t handle the sheer power of Rick Schroeder, Kim Delaney and perennial Emmy winner Dennis Franz. "Will" tried in vain to sic powerful supporting cast members Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes to bail out the titular stars, after 20 hours in interrogation, they finally cracked.

The producers of "Boston Public" and "Ed" should not worry. They are the cream of the rookie program crop, and should warm to the public in the years to come. But some programs, such as "Roswell," need a shot in the arm. Unfortunately, Rick Pitino spurned the WB"s offer to helm the young show, opting for more money in the Louisville basketball program. Jerk. Round three poses numerous questions: Will "Saved By the Bell" continue its Gonzaga-style upsets? What will "Iron Chef" cook up for the always hungry Shaggy and Scooby? Will Bugs and company drop an Acme brand safe on "The Simpsons?" Perhaps most importantly, will top ranked "ER" and "Survivor II" be able to fend off el fuego "Seinfeld" and "Silver Spoons," respectively?

Vote and be heard to determine the elite eight.
