Yeah, everyone is going to be voting in the David Cook vs. David Archuleta American Idol final, but there's another contest going on and your vote is needed.
As we've been talking about recently, Redeye in Chicago is having their annual Best Character on Television poll, and it's down to the final four. After weeks of voting, the matchups are Sir Guy of Gisborne (Robin Hood) vs. Michael Scott (The Office) and Benjamin Linus (Lost) vs. Liz Lemon (30 Rock). Right now, Sir Guy is destroying Michael Scott (looks like Scott is going to fail at this too). In fact, I'm surprised that Sir Guy has such a rabid following.
As for Linus vs. Lemon, that's a lot closer, but it looks like Linus is going to win, which will set up a big finale where Linus goes up against Sir Guy. I have to vote for Linus, but I think it's going to be a battle. Voting for this round ends Tuesday at 2pm.

I didn't even know there was a show called Robin Hood before I went to that site.

Rabid is the perfect way to describe Sir Guy's following.

I think Lemon and Linus are great in their respective environments, but if the roles were reversed I'd rather be stuck on an island with Liz Lemon thank you very much.

I just tried to imagine Ben in the writer's room at The Girlie Show. I'm pretty sure he'd shoot Frank.

Wow. I watch Robin Hood on BBC America and enjoy it, but I had no idea that (1) Robin Hood had any kind of cult following in the U.S., or (2) Sir Guy was THAT popular a character. Personally, I prefer the Sheriff of Nottingham and the actor who plays him. He's a riot.

I've seen every episode from the first two seasons of the Robin Hood show, and even though I enjoy it immensely, Sir Guy's character is so incredibly flat and one-note. There's no way he should even be competing with the likes of Michael Scott, Liz Lemon and Benjamin Linus.
