Just stopped by the site to see if anything new was up during my extended absence from lurking behind the scenes.

Good to see Browncoats pulling through. I'm off to rally my friends to support this noble and truly worthy cause.

Or, at least, I will when they're awake. Can't recruit when it's a quarter after 5 in the morning... I really should get sleep.

And vote when I wake up. Cheers!

Xena: Warrior Princess 139842
Bonanza 102979
La Femme Nikita 84036
Farscape 77040
Firefly 58805

Stats for yesterday's voting.

Bonanza (734)
Firefly (670)
Xena (640)
Farscape (156)
Nikita (141)

Gap to Farscape = 18235. We gained 514 votes on Farscape yesterday.

Estimated time to overtake Farscape for Number 4 spot = 36 Days!

Let's keep it up Browncoats!

this mysterious tendency is getting worse: I checked their daily votes tally for November 3 & WA-AA-AY out front was ...ahem... "Wagon Train" with 1800 votes.

Whoever had said earlier in this thread to keep the seniors off the internet... well.. his ominous, dark and dire warnings have, apparently, gone unheeded and you see what happens ...???... "Wagon Train"... 1800 votes... that's just not right

OBviously what needs to happen is, we all need to convert our seniors to Browncoats. Heck, they're all out there voting for "Bonanza," "Laramie" & "Wagon Train"... all they have to figure out is that "Firefly" was originally inspired by Westerns in general and then... convert all that nursing-home-voting-power to Browncoat-votes and voila...



"Bonanza" off its perch "or your friends will think you're a stupid, inbred stack of meat"

...obviously, they've not seen Firefly (the oldsters, that is!)...perhaps we should send the DVD's to senior citizens' centers?
...BTW...voted and BUMPED

That's a great idea. Firefly box sets in every retirement home!


"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

Yes! I actually have as my mission tonight to convert two friends, both House fans, into Firefly fanatics. I'm even going to loan them my only box copy of the show.

I was just hoping the whole "Wagon Train" pulling in hundreds of votes a day might resonate with the Bonanza bitterness and someone might help me overtake these damn senior citizens! (no offense to any of them on these boards of course )

Don't make faces.

What kind of shows do you absolutely NEVER watch?

Religious Shows 19.2%
Science Fiction Shows 12.2%
Reality Shows 10.7%
Western Shows 8.9%




So this is from one of their instant surveys.

One of my sociology classes looked at the response so many people have to the question, "What type of music do you listen to?" The majority would respond with "Anything really, except country/rap." Of course these are two genres of music which arose out of a lower socio-economic group than, say, teen pop.

Anyways, point being, people are really proud to say they don't like country or rap music, and apparently equally as proud to say they won't watch Science Fiction or Western shows.

Why? What are the stereotypes and how can we overcome them?

Don't make faces.
