Couch Madness Round 2: ‘Gone’ (Group 1)

In honor of the NCAA tournament season, Give Me My Remote is bringing back our TV-centric bracket, pitting similarly titled episodes against each other: Couch Madness! (Credit for the excellent name goes fellow reporter Chris Hayner.)

The seeding is simple: rather than quality of the hour, we’re going by air date (with the oldest episode getting the #1 slot and the newest getting #8). With Peak TV, this will not include every single show that has used this title; rather, we picked a selection from what was available.

We’re now up to the second round, which will run from Monday, March 28, with the final face-off starting Thursday, March 31.

Next up? “Gone.” And with this title we’re doing something different: There are enough shows for two separate brackets. So keep reading for the first bracket, episode descriptions (from IMDB), and the poll. (For the other episodes competing, check out all the brackets here!)

LIE TO ME (8): “A baby goes missing, and her mother accuses an unknown person of the kidnapping. When Lightman sees she’s hiding something, he digs deeper and discovers a family in need of repair.”

vs.

LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT (5):“Goren finds himself matching wits with a paranoid chess master suspected of murdering a young woman in town to visit her fiancée.”

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (3): “The Three Geeks mistakenly turn Buffy invisible. The Slayer takes some advantage from going unseen. Willow has to do the detective without using magic, while Xander finds Spike doing some weird physical training.”

vs.

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT (7): “A female student from Montreal goes missing during a class trip to New York City after she spends a night partying with three cocky prep school boys.”
