Variety shows (Carol Burnett, SNL)
Talk shows (David Frost, Johnny Carson)
Documentaries (World War I, The Valiant Years)
Costume dramas (Poldark; I, Claudius)
Thrillers (Alfred Hitchcock, Tales of the Unexpected)
Superheroes (The Adventures of Superman; Batman)
Also, according to decade.
Just how many new/other/additional polls are we looking at now? 
Enough to keep us busy for a while!
I’ll do a couple of my suggs after a little bit.
Can hardly wait! (pant, pant…)
It’s back to looking like a Top Half and Bottom Half thing to my eyes. Anybody else see something different here?

I tried to vote, but did not find Curb Your Enthusiasm on the ballot.
It was in earlier threads. This is the last of a series of threads.

We’re 11 votes shy of this older poll’s participation.
Anybody want to offer an interpretation?
Do not interpretations belong to God?
Your days are numbered. Your kingdom will be divided between the Medes and Persians.
sorry …
That is so close to what I had figured. We think too much alike.
Hey, one man’s Mede is another man’s Persian.
I’m going to guess that’s not original to you but either way it’s fucking genius.
Close to perfect, I will say!
The Intarweb is attributing it to Bennett Cerf, which sounds about right. Still, kudos to TOWP for a perfect delivery.
See? Now this makes all the other polls and this thread totally worthwhile!
Quite a long set up when you look at it that way…
How do you spell shaggy dog?
I read it in Asimov; can’t remember if he was referencing Cerf.
Voting has slowed down a lot and it may just be that we can’t make it to the 195 voters we had in the earlier “UPDATE” thread/poll. Just six votes away.
But I thought you might enjoy this comparison with how the votes have changed from when you had one choice out of 51 to when it was one out of 12.
I hope this makes sense without a lot of explanation:

Surely there are five people who have yet to vote in this poll that closes in six days…
I’d be willing to bet that if you redo this poll in 5 years, Breaking Bad won’t make the Top 5, let alone be contending for #1. It’s way too soon for any evaluation of the show to be meaningful.
