I was only half serious because I'd like too see Firefly get it's own record, but you are right. Let the competition continue! Firefly will never beat XWP

I'm coming out

How is that? This Lakota Warrior doesn't do soccar matches, she does play rugby though!

Having said that, I never once fooled myself that they will stop at 250,000. I suspect that there will always be "one more goal". Be it 2000 in a day, or 5000 in a day. 300,000 by somebody's birthday. There's no sense in worrying about what someone said about them stopping. We should work on doing the best we can. They raised the bar to 1,500, so we must push on. If the Xena fans lose interest in the poll; fine. So be it, it will make it easier to catch up with them. If not, well, it's simple. We make like Hertz and try harder.

Oh, vote. Bump ;-)

Thanks Leadb, I'd like too see F/F get it's own record, but if Xenites stop voting there goes the challenge, but maybe the Bonanza folks will keep on trying to give us a challenge.

I'm not sure how uch voting I can do because I got a call from my sister last night that my Dad is dying so I have to fly down next week; that's the soonest I can get there, and I hope I can see him before he goes. He is in the San Francisco Veterans Hospital. I'll take my lap top of course, but not sure how much time I'll be online.

This voting is great!! (Makes me feel like im doing something for Firefly) ive actually been voting for a while now and have voted no matter where i am, may it be at home, college a friends house etc.

i even stayed up all night and voted every hour lol (sad but true)

one thing really gets me though....how is Bonanza beating us!! i havnt even heard of it and then i noticed it on tv and started watching it and its just in no way in the same league as Firefly!!! we keep catching up and then today for instance, Bonaza just gained like 5000 votes!!!! i dont get it, its horrifying!!

i will still continue to vote its just a bit disheartening.....this voting has become an addiction haha...

I'd check your math. Bonanza actually just gained 5 million votes.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Obviously, your priority will be family the next several days; there will be plenty of time later for you to help push FF up whatever hill we head. Take care of yourself, too, over the next several days.

Bump from the Xenaverse

Back in the day, I was the stat keeper in the Xenaverse for the TV-vote....back when we were trying to reach 25k then 50k then 100k in votes or so. Due to other issues, I fell away from the stat keeping task, and later the voting task. At one time or another I've given votes to most of the shows in the top 40....those I enjoy anyway.

I own many of the top 40 shows on DVD....Angel, Alias, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica (2004), Buffy, Charmed, Cleopatra 2525, Farscape, Firefly, Roswell, and Xena....

I don't understand the Bonanza thing either, but you gotta give the fandom of a classic show credit....they have really muscled up on an internet vote where perhaps the majority of their fan base is not internet savvy...

I think we all harbor some secret love of a tv show....I may not understand the love for Bonanza some have, but I respect it. I also respect the love Firefly fans have for their show. It's because of you guys that Serenity was made, and it was a great addition to the Firefly experience.

Many folks overlook what appeals about certain shows. Some may look at Xena as just a campy romp through historical inaccuracies without realizing that beneath the surface, it's a tale of a woman with a dark and evil past who strives to redeem her deeds, knowing that she can never do so.

Others may look at Firefly as just a failed sci-fi show, without realizing the depth of writing and characters that Wheedon created. Firefly deserved a longer run.

My point is that all of the top 40 shows have redeeming qualities to their fan base. In my opinion, there are more than 40 shows that belong in the top 40...

I tend to enjoy sci-fi or drama shows with strong female leads that have seasonal and multi-seasonal story arcs...but I can understand someone liking shows without these qualities.

So, while I am glad Xena got to the TV-Vote Hall of Fame, I hope to see Firefly join us there soon and Bonanza after that....

Of course, all hail Gina Torres, who has appeared on Angel, Firefly, Alias, Xena, Cleopatra 2525, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and La Femme Nikita....truly she is the secret to being a top 40 show!

Well certainly I think you should support whichever show you think is best but I'm having difficulty understanding how my posting about an old DOS computer role playing game is a challenge.
