Are the Buffy and Angel fans here voting for your shows at Rich Labonte's TV Vote? Little House on the Prairie is about to overtake Angel on the poll, for cryin' out loud!
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html
You can vote for as many shows on the list as you like, once every hour. A nice Joss bloc would be Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. You can add to that list, of course, if you have other faves on the poll, as well.
There's also a separate nominations poll; the best candidate going, right now, is Dark Shadows, which could use a boost, anyway.
Cheers!

Ni Hao, Buffyverse fans! Congratulations on your shiny 130,000 votes banner for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, yesterday!
I'm a regular Browncoat voter on Rich Labonte's TV Vote
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html
It's no secret that Firefly has swept away the top spot in TV Vote; Browncoats are a bit fanatical, but, we've also been organized, and, focused.
My wife and I also vote Buffy and Angel, among others. It would tickle me muchly if we could light a fire under Buffy, mebbe see if we can overtake BSG, snag 4th place, and, beat BSG to the Hall of Fame.
So, I would like to offer you some useful advice. Aside from enlightened self-interest (after all, more votes for Buffy mean, to some degree, more votes for Firefly), the fact that my wife and I also root for the Buffyverse leads me to share these tips with you.
Some of us Browncoats have been tracking Buffy as a contender for 4th place, against Battlestar Galactica. BSG pulls in a current average of 537 daily votes; Buffy gets 478, a difference of only 59 votes per day. BSG currently stands at 153,473; Buffy has 130,971, a difference of 22,502. If you could manage to get a 100 vote/day advantage on them you could catch them in 225 days, less than eight months. That would mean increasing your daily votes by 159, which is not at all unrealistic.
There are several ways we can do this:
First, is to mobilize as many Buffy voters as possible. This is simply a matter of communication. If there is a Buffyverse board or group, drop in a line or a reminder about TV Vote. If there is a forum without a TV Vote thread, start one. If there is one, post on it, keep it bumped.
Second, make sure that everyone who is voting is doing it as efficiently as possible. This means voting as often as possible within a given period of time. This is really easy:
If you want to be sure to remember when it's time, either download Flyvote, a timed program to remind you when it's time to vote: http://usbmicro.com/misc or, do what I do, and, get a cheap travel alarm clock (mebbe $4US at WalMart), and, set it for the next time to vote. Slip it in your pocket so that you won't have to hang around the computer. I guarantee that'll help you to squeeze more votes outta your day.
Third, cultivate a relationship with another, related voting group, let them know at least some of you are also voting for their show, and, why. Friendly reciprocity then takes over, especially if you keep in touch, congratulating them on voting on milestones, thanking them for their ongoing help, letting them know how their assistance is helping your own campaign. Angel is already a natural, but, there is also Dark Shadows, currently at the top of the Nominations Poll.
I am generally opposed to bald vote trades; they are hard to verify, breed suspicion and conflict, and, most folks don't abide by 'em like you'd want 'em to, never mind that they go against the spirit of the Vote; I strongly believe in the philosophy that TV Vote is about voting for the shows we each like.
I have been coaching the Dark Shadows voters at:
http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2285353
While we have no formal agreement for vote trades, both Firefly and Dark Shadows have been helping each other out. Obviously, the bulk of Firefly voters are oblivious to the fact that Dark Shadows has helped us to keep our current streak of 1,000+ votes per day going, as we try to break Xena's old record, but, the fact is, their help has kept our scores afloat during a couple of weekend dry spells, lately.
Dark Shadows, on the other hand, is pulling in as much as 273 votes/day, now, from a relatively small estimated pool of voters. Of course, a number of them (myself, included) are already voting for Buffy, but, they could definitely enhance Buffy's scores, as well, if a rapport between the two voting fandoms could be established.
Fourth is, perhaps, the most important key to energizing your voting campaign:
In order to motivate your voters to vote with real fervor, you need to provide them with more than jus

Okay, so, I've found the time to run Buffyverse stats, too.
Buffy and Angel now both have a shot at the Hall of Fame, but both need some extra help to get there in time!
Based on RL's announcement that he will end the Polls when the combined total votes between the Top 40 and the Nominations reaches 10 million (but no later than January 2, 2009), 84.79 (85.68) days remain to vote, based on current rates of voting.
Today's update on TV Vote-
