It's cool that we're closing, but I have a question.

BONANZA?!?!?!?!

Of all shows, why are we behind Bonanza??? What, are there like a bunch of 70-year-old TV junkies out there voting??? Nothing against the show, or 70-year-old TV junkies for that matter, but it's just strange that we're chasing Bonanza of all shows!

......and bump.

Hey Slowhand: I think it's a combination of folk jumping on the voting board early, plus Bonanza; lots of people grew up watching that show and it's really familiar. BUT Firefly (also a 'western') had only it's tiny, not-a-whole-season to inspire/attract; so yeah, we're voting against an "old guard" type of program; but we're doing very well. I think I started voting in October and Firefly was below Roswell...so as more of us come on board and vote regularly... we're doing VERY well!
oh, and vote/bump....

Vote for your Favorite Mutant Enemy Series. There is a poll on The Week in Whedon where you can vote once every 24 hours. Firefly is in the lead but has been slipping a little lately.
My Flyvote 1.2 vote total is up to 8 now. Shiny little progam. Does anyone know if the total will reset if you close the progam or reboot. Be nice if it just kept going.

The count is reset to 0 when the program first runs. It is reset to 0 each time that it runs. It increments the count each time that it wakes out of sleep.

You can keep it running - I vote, yawn, and grab some sleep. FlyVote pops up sometime after I wink out and patiently waits until morning for me to vote again. But that's because my PC runs 24/7.

I haven't tried putting FlyVote (or a link) in a startup directory (again assuming Windows), but that should work OK. And a shutdown with FlyVote running shouldn't cause trouble.

Thanks for using FlyVote. Can't stop the signal!

Well, I think I have this right... new top10 + BSG format.

title total dayDelta aveJan1 aveDec1
Xena: 181689 530 548 551
Bonanza 150351 604 675 644
Firefly 119388 894 906 871
Nikita 96420 152 166 169
Farscape 90794 182 185 199
Gunsmoke 74516 311 324 299
The X-Files 59153 335 298 288
Queer as Folk 58453 59 58 58
Roswell 56431 132 144 131
Lexx 53240 215 209 200
BSG 15477 399 418 381

The aveJan1 is the average number of votes per day a show has gotten since Jan 1; likewise for aveDec1 except it is since Dec 1 (except BSG, which it is relative to dec 21 (day BSG hit top40)

I found this is really the data I like to see for the top 10; it gives instantaneous and a moderate time frame average and a fairly long time frame average on votes. Hope you like it.

For nominations;
Mr. Rogers continues to climb (and thanks for those who have sent your nomination ballots that way).

Futurama still getting < 5 votes.

Little House is being rebuilt by scads of volunteers; they are getting 180/190's now.

No other significant action to report.

PSands -
There were some folks who were voting regularly in the WIW poll. But I'm not sure if anyone has been lately. Here's the last thread I found:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=25240

Even I hadn't voted in a while and it looks like we're slipping back. Perhaps you could resurrect the voting effort with a shiny new post?? I went ahead and voted while I was there.
