and the Poolie goes to...

1. Community (NBC) 19 points (2nd)

This is Community's second Poolie nomination for the Cheers Award, and first win for best opening credits/theme song.  The series has also been nominated for the Seinfeld Award in each of its first two seasons.

It's strange that after winning this award last year, Sons of Anarchy can only muster up a seventh place showing this time around.  The opening credits didn't change people, but I guess the quality of the season hurt its chances.  Community's opening theme has been great since its premiere last September, but in the second season it took things to a new level.  There were a number of special opening, including the Dungeons and Dragons, Christmas, and Western themed episodes.  Fantastic stuff.
