I'm sure this was covered in the other thread(s), but you're supposed to vote for output in this decade, right? For example, if I thought Buffy or The Simpsons were crappy in 2000 and beyond, then I should not vote for them? Or does overall achievement count?

'tis a 2000-09 poll my friend, so yuh. It's also a decade where they sliced more and more of the good bits out of the originals to fit in more adverts though, if you want to vote for the watered-down classics.
― Samuel (a hoy hoy), Thursday, 24 September 2009 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
i think it's a fairly obvious judgment call. a show that's been around for decades (like the simpsons) you'd only be voting for this specific decade; a show that started in the late nineties you can probably consider the whole series
xp iatee
― w/r/t/c (k3vin k.), Thursday, 24 September 2009 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
no, to be fair, you should only consider the episodes originally aired in this decade ... e.g. only the last three seasons of Oz, and not the first three.

I dunno. I'm a 'Murican and there are plenty of British shows that are going to score very highly in my nominations. Of course, they're mostly shows that haven't made it to our shores in any legitimate, above-board format (we're still waiting for a region 1 release of the second series of the not-at-all obscure Peep Show, f'rinstance), so my standom might be the exception to the rule, I guess.

i completely disagree. here's an extreme example - the first part of freaks & geeks' only season aired in 1999, so would one vote solely on the merits of those episodes which aired post jan 1, 2000?or what if a show ran four or five solid seasons, but your favorite was the first, which aired in 1999? would you disregard that one? would you vote for it in a hypothetical 90s poll, only for that season?

It's not my poll, but I'd say counting fall '99 would be okay, esp. since we're doing this poll in fall '09.
or what if a show ran four or five solid seasons, but your favorite was the first, which aired in 1999? would you disregard that one?
if a show had one good season in '98 and then was crap in later years, i wouldn't vote for it in a 00's poll.

nah, it's because I'm not a big tv watcher, so instead of splitting my votes between a bunch of shows that are shoo-ins (sopranos, the wire) why not throw my weight behind an equally worthy dark horse (at least it is in the US). there is no way peep show will get anywhere near the number of votes it deserves. that first season is a thing of perfection + beauty.
