AOL Readers Pick Heroes, Sylar Best of 2006

AOL Online recently held a poll and asked its readers to pick the best and worst of the 2006-2007 TV season, and after 3 million votes were cast, Heroes came up on top in one category and second in another. Heroes scored Best New Show with 38% of the vote, with “Ugly Betty” coming in at a close second with 32%, while Zachary Quinto’s murderous supervillain Sylar coming in second with 26% of the vote, losing to “Lost’s” Ben, who stole the victory with 28%. Meanwhile, AOL readers chose Hiro’s time traveling powers as the Heroes power they’d most like to have with 28% of the vote.

But that’s the readers. The editors of AOL TV chose Heroes as the Best New Show, Zachary Quinto’s Sylar as Best Villain, and George Takei’s turn as Hiro’s faster as Coolest Guest Star.
