OK,
It's 20:30 here now. For me the voting day is over. I just checked the totals on the site and it shows for 1/12/06
Xena: Warrior Princess 156876
Bonanza 121354
La Femme Nikita 88796
Farscape 81849
Firefly 80212
But that is the figures FlatTop posted for the beginning of the day, so maybe we here in Africa get the info a little slow.
Can't wait to see the figures tomorrow!
I'm thinking we'll rise again!

Do you think its the time zone thing? I never before noticed a discrepancy between your figures and mine? I do however see the 80 000 banner while it shows only 79318. Strange
go into totals page and hit refresh

A little more than 5 hours until the end of the 1st december in Bulgaria, but so far I must have caused at least 50 votes for Firefly!!! I hope this campaign is going to be profitable for Lexx too :) You should know I skipped some of the more boring classes to show some support in exchange for yours :)
BTW less than 1000 votes the last day?!? Perhaps whoever doubled the voter to 1365 got tired? Real shame, imagine if you could get 1500 votes every day... Two slideshows every week :)
I threw in some votes for Lexx as I was voting for Firefly. I must admit, I've never seen Lexx but I wanted to thank all of you for your support.
On a Bonanza note-This from the Bonanzaworld.net:
Firefly hit the 80.000 mark today they had 894 votes, I think they had a goal as well to get the 80.000 together by today so perhaps they stop flying!
Those geezers really don't understand what we are up to here, do they?
Thank Universal for airing Firefly in HD at

Heh, to try to introduce a little "pc" here...
old-geezers - "the great generation"
the folks a bit younger than that "baby boomer"
Younger folks... 'gen x'
I've read with some amusement the characterizations of who is voting for what. "The great generation folk" probably haven't seen a lot of firefly. ... so we are young jobless folks, eh?
Personally, I'm a tail end of the baby boom... 43 year old professional. Been voting for firefly for several weeks now; tho I don't bump regularly I watch this thread for the stats, and closure rates, etc. Work a 45-55 hour work week generally. Mostly vote 3 to 5 times a day; sometimes a bit more on weekends; especially if I'm working sat mornings.
Why vote for firefly? It reminds me a lot of the original star trek series; it is "different" from what is out there; has some good social commentary embedded in like the original trek show, yet good entertainment. Social commentary? Yes sir! Trek featured the first interracial kiss on TV. The episode with the light/dark; dark/light races at war with each other making it so apparent how foolish our current racial bigotry is. Many other examples.
Firefly pokes fun at the big government; intrusive government. I could go on, but I'm sure you can draw out your own observations. I would -really- like to see it be more than the first 14 episodes and a movie. Good stuff here.
BTW, I like Bonanza. It has its own charm, but I just can't see it in the same light as the classic shows I appreciate over time.
Today I'm at 11 votes, and still pushing. As a one off, I don't mind it for a fun day of a "big push"; now you start having "vote ins" every day, and I'll just fall back to my normal habits ;-)
One final comment, I know folks have said you can vote every 58 minutes; but are you sure that hasn't changed? The best I can tell it is a strict 60 minutes.
Later folks!

Hello Fireflyimnotwholewithoutit:
You know your name is longer than some posts.
A bump is just posting to keep a thread on top of the discussion forum. So if you like a thread and want others to see it you just post on it. You don't even have to say anything.
Your post I'm responding to on this thread is a bump and this post I am creating is giving this thread a bump.
Just joking about your name. We have plenty that are as long as yours. And since we have never met before; Hello again FIREFLYimNOTwholeWITHOUTit.
I hope you join in and become an active member. We do discuss Firefly, but we also like to have fun here.
Traveler
