IMDb Poll Reconstituted (Beta Version)

25 Shows of the 90's That Paved the Way for the New Golden Age of TV
http://www.imdb.com/poll/R59Y6IrZgRo/

One of the most influential changes to occur in the 25 years since IMDb began is the markedly improved quality of TV series. If the New Golden Age of television officially began in 1999 with the premiere of The Sopranos, then soon followed by series like Six Feet Under and The Wire, and was in full swing by the time series like Dexter, Breaking Bad, and Game of Thrones were introduced, the following shows of the 90's (IMDb's first decade) were perhaps the giants that the Golden Age shows stood upon. Instead of voting for your favorite of the shows below, which one's influence can be most seen in the TV of the New Golden Age?

Babylon 5 is the second choice in the poll. It is currently in seventh place with only 5 votes.

This poll is on the IMDb home page.

Babylon 5 is still in seventh place with 65 votes.

WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE NUMBERS DAN? (That is awesome!)

I derived what I previous provided from
User ratings for The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/ratings

I've reviewed the ratings demographics for all of the IMDb Top 250 in the past and found that the demographics for The Shawshank Redemption is representative of the overall demographics for the IMDb Top 250.

This table is based on a summary of the IMDb Top 250 from April 8, 2013.

Males   Females  Unknown  Total	
64.0%   12.0%    24.1%    100.0%   Total
 0.6%    0.2%     0.0%      0.8%   Under 18
35.0%    7.1%     0.0%     42.1%   18 to 29
23.2%    3.4%     0.0%     26.6%   30 to 44
 4.8%    1.0%     0.0%      5.9%   45 +

I presume you mean this poll:
Favourite Scottish Character
http://www.imdb.com/poll/4sYXZEchd7o/results

There is a strong preference for the new and shiny versus classic on IMDb. This is probably due in large part to the demographics of IMDb users.

Males   Females  Unknown  Total       	
70.6%   14.2%    15.2%    100.0%  Total
 1.1%    0.3%     0.0%      1.4%  Under 18
38.0%    7.6%     0.0%     45.5%  18 to 29
24.2%    4.2%     0.0%     28.3%  30 to 44
 4.6%    1.1%     0.0%      5.7%  45 +

I just did my voting. I really dislike those polls. There should be requirements for voting. I get so sick of seeing only the newest and biggest movies or people at the top. I mean seriously, there is a poll titled "Favourite Scottish Character" and Scotty from Star Trek is 8th while someone from a movie that came out this year is first by a wide margin. That is ridiculous.

This one was actually kind of hard because Game of Thrones does have a pretty epic opening theme, however, nothing in GOT could ever make me feel as emotional as season 4 and 5 of B5 do, so I had to vote for it.

I am surprised that the big bang theory is more popular than the x-files theme though. I would have put X-files above BBT, for sure. Heck, I might even put it above GOT because of the middle of the night happy memories I get from all night marathons of that show, back in the day. "giggles"
