The title’s “preferred” is meant to suggest that whether you see your vote(s) for “favorite” or “best” is up to you. Shows you preferred to watch are the ones to pick.
See the other poll going up today for the “Section C” shows that received two mentions in the thread linked to above.
Okay. I guess my “summary file” (a manual operation) has had its flaws. Hopefully, if and when the shows that appear in more than one poll are considered for inclusion in some run-off final poll, the votes for them will make sense.
One way to make sure those shows rise to the top is to vote for them in both polls.
To see how results from this poll and the C section poll are comparing with the original 51 shows poll, check out The Best All-Time TV Show [vote for up to 10] where you will see these sorted results that were current when this post went up:

Please post any ideas you have for dealing with “cut-off” points for shows to be excluded from a Final Poll in the
<< The Best All-Time TV Show [vote for up to 10] >> thread.
The shows marked “***” are also in the “C” poll. We’ll have to deal with that duplication somehow.
Comments about this specific poll’s snapshot can be posted here, of course.
In the interest of bringing the issue of “Preferred TV Show” voting to a close, I’m going to ask that this thread and poll be closed on June 15. A week from today.
If you want to have voted in this poll please do so by then.
Compare these rankings with those in Post #8 to see how the voting is going.

My current thinking is to drop those shows with less than 20% of the vote from the Final Poll.
