READ THIS POST BEFORE VOTING!
Ladies and Gents, by some fluke we ended up with 40 contenders for the greatest show of all time. So, that being known, this is how we're going to do this.
We're going to spread this out over x number of weeks of voting. Each week, you will be allowed a certain number of votes, which will correspond with the number of shows we will be eliminating that week. Each poll will remain open for one week.
YOU WILL, IN ROUND 1, VOTE FOR 6 SHOWS THAT YOU FEEL SHOULD BE ELIMINATED FROM THE LIST.
The 6 shows with the MOST votes will be eliminated from the competition.
AGAIN, YOU ARE VOTING FOR WHICH SHOWS YOU FEEL ARE THE LEAST DESERVING OF A PLACE ON THE LIST.
This week is special, because we have 40 shows and can only have 35 poll options. Because of this, this week will be split into two polls. You will be allowed three votes in each poll and two shows from each list will be eliminated. That seems to be the only truly fair way to go about it.
As always, discuss and defend your positions in the thread. Comment your little hearts out. Debate, discuss, and/or stab each other. Just be civil about it.
If, at some point, it becomes apparent that 1 week is too long, we will adjust as needed. For now, let's just see how everything goes.
Ready, set...VOTE!
NOTE: IF YOU VOTE INCORRECTLY, I HAVE SET THE POLL SO THAT YOU MAY RETRACT YOUR VOTES UP UNTIL THE POLL CLOSES IN 7 DAYS! WE WILL MAKE THIS WORK NOW!
I'm also not trying to be a dick. I want to make sure everyone understands what we're doing so that we can all have fun with this. Please don't take it any other way.

This one was actually hard. I really want to vote off about five of those shows, haha.

Thank god Beavis and Butthead is getting the shaft. The only good thing it ever did was introduce Daria to the world (which should totally be on this list).

Beavis and Butthead is hilarious, but best show ever? Um, no.

Seriously. I tried to watch it once and by ten minutes in wanted to pull my hair out from the constant and loud bickering between all the characters that I guess the writers thought would be quirky and cute. No.
Also, fuck all you Gumby haters. What's wrong with you?

I don't hate Gumby, but against the other shows up there, had to vote him off the island.

Why is Are You Afraid of The Dark up there? Cool show when I was a kid but hardly greatest of all time.

Every show on the list is there because someone suggested it. Someone thinks it's one of the greatest shows of all time.

I really enjoy watching as more people vote. I mean, the choices are interesting enough as it is, since everyone seems to have a different idea of what the greatest show of all time consists of. I'm sure that the winner will probably not please very many people though. But, I'm still interested to see how it goes.
One of my problems in voting shows off was that I hadn't seen some of them, so I couldn't necessarily vote them off, because I don't know what they're like at all.

I'm surprised to see LOST has so many votes already, considering it's all we ever want to talk about.

Whoever voted for the Golden Girls to kicked off the list can fuck right off. It's clearly one of the best on the list.

damn, I've hardly seen any shows on this one so I could only vote Beavis and Butthead. I almost voted Gilmore Girls but I thought I'd hold off for a week because for some reason I can't seem to change the channel when Lorelei is talking

sorry a-holes, maybe the only thing some of us (me) lived for for 7 years was the possibility of lorelei and luke falling in love
round 1 A has better choices overall, i could have lived with not voting any off in that round and voting like 11 off in this one. FLAWED.

I'm really curious as to know what people's criteria are for voting these shows off the list. Right now, I'm just voting with the mentality of "what DEFINITELY isn't the BEST SHOW EVER."
I'm certainly not thinking about what I hope to win, yet.
