Chicago TV bracket heads to the Elite 8

The Chicago sitcom "Good Times" trounced the competition in the Sweet 16. Photo: Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Hi, Justin here! We're on a mission to crown the best Chicago TV show of all time. What's happening: The record-setting number of votes in our Sweet 16 poll showed some interesting early results.No-brainers: "ER," "Married … With Children" and "Good Times" easily moved on to the next round. Closer than we thought: "Perfect Strangers" barely held on over "Early Edition." Upset: Dick Wolf's "Chicago Fire" was defeated by Julianna Margulies and "The Good Wife.". Here's some first-round feedback: Robert F.: "You dropped the ball when you didn’t include 'Hill Street Blues.'" Justin: Lots of people agree. But technically, it's not a Chicago show. It was set in a "big Midwestern city" — a hybrid of Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Chicago. Maggie B.: "The Chicago TV shows list did not include 'The Building' or 'Bonnie' — the one where she is a newscaster." Love Bonnie Hunt! Not Sweet 16, though. Rob P.: "My vote: 'Boss,' with Kelsey Grammer as corrupt Chicago Mayor Tom Kane. Only ran for two seasons but was outstanding in many ways."Such a good show with a lot of great Chicago scenes. Definitely would have been featured if this was a 64-show tournament. What's next: Now we move on to the Elite 8, where the matchups get much harder. !
