Mmm… poll-icious.

“The Simpsons” managed to stave off a steady phaser attack by “Star Trek: The Next Generation” to claim victory in Remote Access’ latest poll, which asked readers to pick the greatest spin-off of all time.
Matt Groening’s ongoing animated saga pulled nearly 1 vote in 3 tallied, while nearly 1 in 5 picked Jean-Luc Picard and Co.
Placing third was “Frasier,” a “Cheers” spin-off. Finishing fourth was “Angel,” a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” follow-up.
I’ll spare you the rest of the details, which you may examine after the break. Remote Access is not responsible for reader-submitted non-spinoffs or their votes, so don’t waste your fingertips.
Our next poll is a simple one that should yield some pretty intense responses. For the 2008-09 TV season, which network has the best original programming?
We’re starting with the national networks (NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, The CW and myNetworkTV), a couple of subscriber-based nets (HBO and Showtime) and an edu-ma-cational destination (PBS), but as usual, you are more than welcome to submit your own suggestions.
Answers should apply to programs that are either on the air or are being produced right now. Why that specification? Well, with “The Wire,” “Deadwood,” “Rome” and “The Sopranos” no longer broadcasting new episodes on HBO, that makes a huge difference for my vote.
Here are the rest of the results for our poll about the best TV spin-off of all time:
