Here's a quick update on our latest Favorite TV Themes Poll ...
As of this morning, we have received just under 6000 votes, spread out over 360 titles.
During the weekend of November 21st and 22nd, we will be counting down Your Top 50 Favorites. (We are still working on a radio tie-in for this countdown and will keep you posted.)
As we continue to analyze the data, we see that 117 of those 360 titles have only received one vote each ... that being from the person who nominated it.
Based on the votes collected so far, a TV theme would need a minimum of 40 votes right now in order to make The Top 50. As such, we are going to eliminate those single vote titles from the running as I don't see any way that these could possibly earn enough votes at this point to make the final list.
That leaves another 120 more titles that have earned between 2 and 9 votes. (Any theme that earned ten or more votes during our first two full weeks of balloting will remain on the ballot.)
We're going to list those remaining 120 titles for your consideration today. If any of these earn enough votes to qualify, they, too, will move to the final ballot.
Please keep these thoughts in mind ...
We are asking you to vote for your FAVORITES ... the themes that YOU think meant the most and are most memorable. You can probably find any unfamiliar title listed here on YouTube ... but if you don't already know it by heart and recognize it from this list, how can it possibly be one of your All-Time Favorites???
Likewise, you are voting for your favorite TV Themes ... and NOT your favorite TV shows. There are some GREAT shows on this list ... they just didn't have great themes!
The purpose of this list is NOT to try and get you to vote some of these titles "in" to the finals ...
They're listed here in the odd chance that they may have slipped your mind for consideration due to there being SO many great television themes to choose from.
So now, in alphabetical order, here are some themes that are about to be eliminated unless you determine to save them. (Next weekend, we'll provide an alphabetical list of all the finalists ... the FINAL BALLOT, if you will ... and ask you to review it and then vote for up to twenty of your all-time favorites.) The polls officially close on Saturday, November 7th.
Meanwhile, you can continue to vote for all of your other favorites via email to tvthemes@yahoo.com.
