Thanks for sharing. I of course voted for All My Children

[All My Shadows]

I don't like the fact that there isn't a write in option for the other categories. Of course, the only relevant nominee for best soap opera (Agnes Nixon's All My Children) was already listed, so I had no trouble voting for that category.

[Mr. Vixen]

You're too funny, AMS.

[MissLlanviewPA]

Y'all will never guess what I voted for .

[Cheap21]

Here were my choices

[MissLlanviewPA]

These were mine--and believe me, it wasn't easy. I don't watch reality TV, and was torn between Letterman, Colbert, and Stewart. Not to mention I Love Lucy, MTM, and AITF for best show.

[Mr. Vixen]

Ours were almost EXACTLY the same Cheap!

[Cheap21]

Haha, what was different? You put GH for soap?

[Mr. Vixen]

Yep, and that's it, I think! GH back in the day was MY soap. And the sentimental value I have for the old school GH is the only reason I haven't dropped the show yet, and it's also why I voted for it. Don't get me wrong though, I love All My Children, too.

Other than that, I think our ballots are exactly the same.

[Bright Eyes]

No The Edge of Night makes this poll null and void.

[MissLlanviewPA]

I am seriously thinking I should have put TAGS for some of these sitcom ones. I take these things WAY too seriously .

[quartermainefan]

Some of the choices were lame. The Best Drama list sucked completely. Where was Game Of Thrones? Why was Carol Brady and option but not Mike? I don't even have a favorite cop show and they wouldn't let me skip the category. If I had to write in, I would have said "Batman"

[Mr. Vixen]

No Golden Girls made this suck though.

[Cheap21]

I hated the choices as well. I just went with the best of the lame. I was so ready to pick The Practice for legal show and it wasnt even there. They had The Cosby Show for so many earlier categories but it wasnt on the Best of All Time list? That was odd to me
