@mariojacobs ,

Since the list has 41 choices, please split up into two (or more polls) as you suggested above.

There are already three polls about sidekicks, so perhaps you could add some criteria to make your list more specific. Maybe only include options from older movies and TV shows?

I Got Your Back - Best Movie Sidekicks

TV Sidekicks with Kick

Favorite Disney Sidekick

One of the reasons I like this poll is that my vote feels pulled in three or four different directions so it's difficult to decide, which is half the fun. : )

If you decide to do an era-specific poll, you've got a lot of good ones from old TV, and FYC:

Edith from All in the Family  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066626/mediaviewer/rm4045985025/?ref_=ttmi_mi_3

Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt from MASH  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068098/mediaviewer/rm3230964224/?ref_=ttmi_mi_10
