First off the entire top ten is pretty much always interesting.
It seemed to me that I could limit the rest by only including them if if was a short amount of time until something happens. But with only one exception (Stargate Atlantis, which considering Jewel's in it I imagine many of us care about), the entire bottom 20 has something happening within a month, and an awful lot have something within a week.
And the range from 10-20 also has a lot of shows with stuff happening soonish, and the shows people here are most likely to care about (Buffy, Angel and SG1) are on the high end in the "days till something happens".
Can anyone think of a way of limiting the list that makes sense to post?
What's interesting and what's not; that's the key thing. It's pretty subjective. I did the top10 +BSG on the basis of "keeping an eye out" for fast risers. When I started doing that, there was some risk that someone behind us would catch up; at this point, we (and Bonanza and Xena) are sufficiently entrenched it would take a pretty big and sudden splash for a show to catch us "unawares". I've continued with the periodic top10+BSG just as a "something different" to report now and again; and typically when I did that I might throw in some observations about other shows not necessarily in the top10.
Frankly, I'd suggest you pick what interests you; if there's shows that are rising fairly quickly (like Combat!), include 'em. Shows that have a Whedon tie in, and you want to, include 'em (Buffy, Angel). A particular show getting close to a move up or down, include 'em. My guess is you will find there's a certain amount of thrash in what is interesting, and that can be a bit of a pain to include / exclude. But in general, if you find it "interesting", figure enough other folks will too it is worth posting. Or do the whole top40 and don't worry too much; it's just "one screen"
BTW, if you'd like some more historical data, pop me a message via the FFF mail thingie with your email addr (or post it here if you don't mind "bots" who strip emails from sites like this sending you spam) and I'll pop over some top40 stats (How about the 1st of each month that I have, and all of March and April (that I have, I actually missed one or two)?

A lot of truth to that! While there is a "point in time" nature to the hall; it is "permanent". Even if we later tire of pushing the numbers up on this poll, we'll be there... right behind Xena!

Folks, just wrote a "longish" append about the TVtally site:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=28026
In short, they have massively re-done the "episode" rating. While I'm not thrilled with the fact they are still posting on the "front page" the top 5 episode and otherwise still show "inter-series" episode rankings; the site management has gone a long way to minimize the -ability- of folks to run around and "tear down" the rankings of "opposing shows." While still concerned regarding the future of episode voting there, for the moment it seems to be "ok". See the above post for details and a request to our fellow Browncoats to put "honor" over "victory" in episode rankings there.
