I did! But darned if I can remember what I voted for, and that was five minutes ago.

[Pogo]

While looking for a Scooby Doo theme song, I remembered that I should have nominated Superfriends!

The first polls of Round 4 are live! The remaining groups will be up by Christmas eve, and I'll give a little longer for voting to account for those of you who get drunk on Christmas and don't wake up until New Year's.

I never realized that, but I played the video and heard it immediately.
Cool.

Do you have a list of the round 4 songs?

[TroutMan]

Not all of them - there are still two groups of open polls from round 3.

The only known round 4 entries that weren't in 4A are

• Match Game
• Hawaii Five-O
• The Rockford Files
• Rawhide

[TroutMan]

The last group of round 4 is live. We'll resume with round 5 voting in the new year.

Have a happy holiday, whatever you may celebrate. At the risk of injecting seriousness into a deeply unserious activity, I appreciate and enjoy you all.

Happy Holidays.
Thanks for running this.

I raise my cup of (THC-infused) wassail to you, Troutman, even though I'm pretty sure being half-man/half-trout is probably physically impossible. Therefore I have doubts that your username is an apt descriptor (unless you have a dorsal fin, in which case I think I speak for all of us when I say it wouldn't kill you to post a pic of it.)

And to the rest of you merry pollsters, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good high.

You rock, TroutMan. My best wishes also for a happy holiday to you and to all Whos far and near.

Likewise

And I hope everyone had a very merry whatever.

[TroutMan]

Round 4 is complete, and here are your Sweet Sixteen contestants. The first four matchups will go up later today.

• The Addams Family
• Batman
• The Dick Van Dyke Show
• The Flintstones
• Get Smart

• Hawaii Five-O
• The Jeffersons
• The Mary Tyler Moore Show
• Mission: Impossible
• National Geographic Special

• Petticoat Junction
• The Rockford Files
• Star Trek
• The Twilight Zone

[Rat Diva]

Wow. Things are gonna get real monstrous real fast this round.

[JackieLikesVariety]

they sure are!

I see that those themes I want to win are not the same as those I expect to win.

[TroutMan]

Round 6 is live!

[Rock]

It's getting serious now.

[Zeener Diode]

I've got my all lined up for quick access.

[Kat]

I gotta say, watching the Emmy Awards and hearing them play a bunch of old TV themes makes me think of this megapoll.

[TroutMan]

The Final Four is live.

I must say, I think we've done quite well.

[Zeener Diode]

Well, it's forty below
And I don't give a fuck
Got a heater in my truck
And I'm off to the megapoll

[TroutMan]

The finals are live, and I think we achieved maximum monstrosity with the choice.

Go vote, then someone suggest the next poll over here.

[Rat Diva]

Excellent megapoll monstering, TroutMan. This has been a fun one; thanks for running it.

[JackieLikesVariety]

Thank you so much, TroutMan!

[TroutMan]

And that's a wrap! All in all, I think we did well (other than the strange persistence of the Dick Van Dyke theme through so many rounds).

I'm very happy the Mission Impossible theme won, and very sad the Peter Gunn theme lost.

[Rock]

Thanks for doing this, TroutMan. It was a good poll and a worthy final four. I voted for Peter Gunn but I'm not upset that Mission Impossible won.

[JackieLikesVariety]

thank you SO much for doing this and MI is a very worthy win.

There, fixed that for you.

Great megapoll; thanks much, Mr. Fish, for running it.

[Zeener Diode]

Excellent job running this megapoll! I enjoyed myself immensely, and learned a thing or two about my favorite shows.

[Borborygmi]

Wonderful megapoll, TroutMan. In retrospect I can't believe we didn't get to this before now. Thanks so, so much for running it and I agree that we did quite well.

[Pogo]

Yeah, a great one.
