A couple weeks ago I launched a poll asking people which TV show they preferred: ‘Chuck’ or ‘Big Bang Theory’. The theory I put forward was that I believed geeks watched either ‘Chuck’ or ‘Big Bang Theory’, but not both.

Well the people have voted, 115 people to be exact. I wanted a good cross-section of fans, so I promoted the poll through several sites (reddit, Digg, delicious, the Unique Gee listserv, the ChuckTV forums, and the CBS Big Bang Theory forum). According to the people who took this poll, my theory was incorrect. While many people like one or the other as I theorized, there were a number of people that liked both shows (21% to be exact).

Which TV show do you prefer, ‘Chuck’ or ‘Big Bang Theory’?

Chuck (34%, 39 Votes)

Big Bang Theory (28%, 32 Votes)

I watch and like both shows (21%, 24 Votes)

I don’t watch either show (17%, 20 Votes)

If nothing else, the results showed that of the people that voted, more people like ‘Chuck’ than ‘Big Bang Theory’. Since I’m more of a ‘Chuck’ fan, I guess that’s something.

My thanks to everyone that participated in the poll. Be sure to vote in the new poll on Star Trek!
