At the request of FollowMal I hereby reinstate this old thread....
Basically everyone should go to this poll and vote firefly.
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/
We're only at 2%. I think we can probably do better than that!
Dark Angel, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Enterprise, Farscape... anything else you'd like to cancel?

I don't know if I can really vote Firefly in good conscience. I have no doubt, if it ran its course, it would be. But the fact is we have to go only off the episodes that were made. As awesome as each episode was, there was only 14 of them. It would be a shoe-in for best start of season, best average episode quality, perhaps best acting. It would be a good candidate for best season... but best show?
I'd vote Babylon 5, but the last two seasons were dreadful. There was some much that could have been done, so many compelling plot lines to follow... and they threw it all away...
So. Here's my solution. I'll go down each list, and cross off shows as I go along. Hopefully Firefly will be left standing.
Xena: That really made number one? Wow. Not a bad show, kind of quirky, but how far can a show about a woman in a leather skirt with a big sword go... Well, now that I think about it...
Definate cross off.
Farscape: I'm a huge fan of the sci-fi genre, but dislike most science fiction. Farscape was too weird for me. I only watched a few episodes, but I felt the biggest theme was being just plain weird. It was like watching adult swim.
Has to go.
Queer as Folk: Never heard of it, but judging by the title, it's a no go.
La Femme Nikita: Same line as Xena. More substance, please.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: Never heard of it, that makes it an easy decision.
The X-files: Never got into it. I can't rightly cross it off, considering its success. I'll hold onto it for now.
Roswell: Aliens stuck in a human town... really can't get into it. Thought 3rd Rock from the Sun was cool, but I quirky ideas don't do anything for me.
Angel + Buffy: I'm a little wierd. I'd definately let a hot vampire chicky suck on me... not the neck... but I always found the shows a little silly. Loved Spike, though. Can't rightly cross them off, because their by our creator, and as others have mentioned, watching them over a span of seasons is much different than watching different episodes. But I'm a bigger fan of the humor in Firefly rather than Angel and Buffy.
Bonaza: Never watched it, just going to cross it off.
Firefly: Gripes above.
Lexx: Never watched, strike out.
Star Trek: just because it was good for its time doesn't make it good...
Stargate: SG1. Watched a couple of episodes, liked them a lot. Can't eliminate just yet.
Scarecrow and Mrs. King: Never seen
Les Filles de Caleb: ditto
The L Word: huh?
Babylon 5: gripes above.
Charmed: The L word here is "for lesbians." Alyssa Milano is gorgeous, but once the cool demon boyfreind was gone, the show was just women power sillyness.
Laramie: Never seen
Hercules: I shudder to think.
Gunsmoke: Heard about, never seen.
DS9: Watched it for a while, but I'm not a huge fan of the Star Trek series. I like episodic fiction a whole lot, with different adventures/plights that may not be related in different episodes, but I also like to follow one or two big time plots throughout a season, and I never really got that with any of the Star Treks.
NCIS: Never watched, but I can't imagine a cop show even coming close to the original Law and Order.
Voyager: Getting back to earth doesn't count as a big time plot line, it was just a device to get them out where no one could help. That being said, I liked the idea.
Cleopatra: never seen it.
The Simpsons: Really funny, but half-hour comedies have to be really special to not be crossed off.
TNG: Star Trek, again... never much liked...
Stargate: Atlantis: Never seen it.
Scoop: ditto.
Ponderosa: ditto.
Jag: see NCIS
CSI: no substance, just sly crimes and slyer forensices.
Alias: Sillyness. You all must think I'm a heroine (female hero, not drugs) hater. I'm not in general, in my story's all of my leads are strong females, but I really don't like the way they're portrayed in most shows. They just don't seem realistic. Exceptions: Buffy, Zoe. Heck, even Buffy's lesbian witch freind.
Bleak house: never seen it.
The West Wing: A p

Yes you did it just kept going and going
. Personally i just voted for Firefly and Angel right now I think Angel is better only because it was on for 5 seasons and im a fan of every season. Although Firefly has more potential if given more time.

You can vote more than once? That would have saved me a whole lot of writing.

Anyone else have any issues with this site ?
I entered Firefly, and clicked vote -
then my Norton Anitvirus popped up saying
it blocked an intrusion attempt.
Clicked to look at the results,
and again Norton threw a nutty.
Just letting folks know - it probably is nothing,
but at least you've been alerted to what I got from it ...

Awww, ThePistonEngine... you really need compelling reasons to vote for Firefly?
And I read all your post....where's my cookies and milk?
