In this article, we’re going to be talking an established series versus a relative newcomer; yet, both shows in The Blacklist and SEAL Team have their own dedicated audiences and passionate fans will to rally for them.

With that, let’s get to breaking down these entries further. Voting for this round remains open until Friday, March 16 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific time.
The Blacklist (#1 seed) – A longtime CarterMatt readers’ favorite, The Blacklist is absolutely in the midst of a great season. It’s had many surprises within it across the board in between the death of Liz and the continued search for answers in regards to the suitcase. While it has performed well within the TV Madness polls in the past, it has yet to take home the overall TV Madness title. This is its opportunity to do just that and we’ll see what happens from here.
SEAL Team (#8 seed) – Meanwhile, we’ve got our underdog here. The David Boreanaz series has performed well for CBS on Wednesday nights, and we know that in between him and the other members of the cast there is an established following here from their past work. SEAL Team is a show with a great chance of coming back for another season and we absolutely hope that it continues along its trajectory of great, compelling character drama.
