Here are the results of the July poll.

What do you think of the upcoming OUTLANDER TV series on STARZ?

• 34.78% - Very excited! I can't wait!
• 19.65% - I don't have STARZ now, but I plan to order it so I can watch this series.
• 9.61% - Cautiously optimistic.
• 6.76% - I'd like to watch it, but STARZ isn't available where I live.
• 6.39% - I can't afford to pay for a STARZ subscription.
• 6.32% - I'm looking forward to seeing who will play Jamie, Claire, and the rest.
• 6.08% - I'm worried that they will change the story or the characters.
• 2.91% - I will wait for the DVDs.
• 1.05% - I'm disappointed that Diana Gabaldon will not be writing the scripts.
• 1.05% - What OUTLANDER TV series? I haven't heard anything about it.
• 0.87% - I'm not interested in an OUTLANDER TV series.
• 0.31% - I'll probably watch at least part of it.
• 4.22% - Other

There were a total of 1613 responses to this poll, which makes it by far the most successful poll I've ever done!  I didn't vote in the poll myself, but I would have chosen the first option.  I'm getting more excited about the TV series as time goes on and we learn more.

There were 68 responses for "Other".  I won't list them all here, but these are some of my favorites:

• Counting down the days and planning a premier party!
• YEE MOTHER FRICKEN HAW!  Excited just doesn't cut it!
• it's about time 
• I'll wait for it to be released on Amazon or Netflix.
• Just looking forward to enjoying it for what it is. Books are still #1 for me.
• I don't have a TV.  I might get the DVDs and watch them on the computer.
• my worries about this are SO many. IF they get it right, it will be very cool.
• Can't wait to see Sam Heughan!
• I'm trusting the film makers to do it justice.

Many people who live outside the US said they were very excited, but STARZ isn't available where they live.  I really hope the series will be available outside the US (and I've been assured by Robyn Harney, a publicist for Sony Pictures TV, that they do intend to distribute the OUTLANDER series in other countries) but I have no information yet on how that will work.

Some of you said that you wanted to choose more than one answer.  Sorry, but that's a personal bias of mine.  I don't like polls that allow multiple selections per person, so none of the polls I run on my blog allow that.

Many thanks to all of you who participated! I'm really pleased with the way this poll turned out.

Please take a moment to vote in the August poll, which is all about visiting Scotland.
