In the last round of polls we saw Once Upon A Time stake a strong claim for its chances at doing well in the competition, smashing Person of Interest with 63.41% of a vote many expected would be stronger. Also Friends easily disposed of Stargate SG-1 and made it through to the next round.
Today sees two of the most popular network sitcoms of the current time, How I Met Your Mother and Community do battle in a poll that would be tough to call. HIMYM has bigger ratings numbers, yet Community possesses a large online fan base that should give both shows something to think about.
Also today we have one of the most iconic shows of the new millennium, 24, challenging one of the most successful and popular remakes of the last few years in Battlestar Galactica. It's another poll which is tough to call...
