Live Poll: Duo-Themed TV Series

Whether through love, friendship or co-working, many TV series owed their popularity to the exciting dynamics of a memorable duo which means two equally entertaining forces driving the show together and proudly posing in its poster.

I wanted to tell you, Mr. Russell, that I'm sorry for making such a foolish statement to you in regards to the list. I realize that I was out of line in pointing out that episodes like "Wild, Wild West" weren't on the list when they should have been, especially since it isn't my place to tell you or anyone else that fact because I know you're smart enough to see that yourself. So please accept my humblest apologies, and in the future please try not to take anything I say too seriously, okey-dokey?

Yes but Jim had many partners when Ross Martin had injury for some 2 seasons.

Ross Martin is listed as "credit only" on nine episodes of 104. Doesn't seem like *that* many missing.

I have a problem with partners and sidekicks, it should be duos with two leads, I wasn't too sure about "Batman" but the poster convinced me.

Besides, they've got to ne mildly popular TV series, you ask a relevant question about the "genre", "Tom and Jerry" would be a perfect example... I'll brainstorm on that poll :)
