Damn, another western about to enter! Why don't we sci-fi fans unite as well on a show and vote for it until it gets in the top 40? I propose The Avengers, Tru Calling, Supernatural, The 4400, there are more. Are you interested? Propose ones of your own as well. What happened with Drive? I think I didn't see it in the list, perhaps they didn't accept it as it's not aired yet?

Another western? LHotP is a western? Well, ok, I suuppose it is, but I have to admit, I never thought of it as a western because I don't like westerns and I -do- like LHotP ;-) Haven't been voting for it on nomination 'cause I only get one nomination vote, and I'm working something else.

Drive... I believe it isn't a TV show... yet. TV vote is clear they won't accept ballots for anything that isn't a TV show, so until it broadcasts it's just ... a plan?

As far as other shows... heck, if there's something in particular you want to boost, and I like it well enough, I'll vote for it. For instance, I wouldn't likely vote for Avenger or Supernatural; haven't seen 'em. 4400, on the other hand, I've enjoyed considerably (been getting it on DVD as it releases) and would vote for.

Currently, I'd like to see a decent kids show move up into the top40, like Mr. Roger's Neighborhood or Sesame Street; I've been voting for the former but could get behind the latter. On the flip side, I can always set that aside for a bit if there was some other "action" that caught my interest.

Averages relative to Dec 1 except BSG rel to Dec 21.
Our numbers were down a bit; but our close rate is still above general averages relative to 1 & 2.

As there's been some discussion regarding sci fi shows that might be worthy of support, I've run thru my nomination data; these are sci fi shows (at least, I recognize them as sci fi or am presuming they are based on the title; feel free to add or remove based on facts) that in the top 100 of the nomination poll (there 1500+ shows in the full list; I'm not looking at them all ;-) )

Title ; RecentActivity ; PositionInPollList
The Bionic Woman ; 0 ; 87
Highlander: The Raven ; 0 ; 76
Smallville ; 8 ; 73
Quantum Leap ; 12 ; 72
Battlestar Galactica - TOS ; 3 ; 69
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ; 0 ; 66
The 4400 ; 5 ; 61
Supernatural ; 21 ; 60
Heroes ; 22 ; 38
Twin Peaks ; 0 ; 27
Space: Above and Beyond ; 0 ; 19
Futurama ; 5 ; 14
Space: 1999 ; 70 ; 10
The Avengers ; 22 ; 9

If you see something there you think ought to wiggle its way into the top 40 and aren't already doing something with your nomination vote, have at it!

RecentActivity... this is a -very- rough, quick and dirty average of the shows last 3 days of activity. I may have mentally made a minor mistake; but the zeroes are zeroes; and anything else is probably +/- 2.

I've bee voting for Cowboy Bebop since the new year, kinda as a way to see if I could get one in the top forty all by my lonesome, even if it took awhile. If we Browncoats are all going to endorse another show to bump into the top forty I think it'd be best if we picked one we could all agree on. I'll second Sesame Street.

Not bad, I see you've taken it from "tied with many at 2 votes" (about position 800) and moved it up to position 304.
I've been watching the stats for a while, and it's... pretty much impossible to do that. Too many shows are getting over 24 / day so unless you have a way to get more than that by your lonesome, it isn't going to happen. What you -can- do is get a show into the top 20 or so of the nomination list on your own; but as you point out, that takes a very long time.

Well, we are Browncoats; I'd be happy if we came up with a short list of 2 or 3 ;-)

I will observe that Sesame St still hasn't gotten any additional votes; I'm sticking w/ Mr. Rogers (and I think I might have picked up a little help with my earlier post, if so Thanks to whoever!) until I see something else -happening- I can get behind ;-) But Sesame St would be a cool option.

How about a nomination push for Futurama? It was a space show on Fox that was constantly preempted by sports and was unceremoniously canceled before even airing all of its episodes. Sound familiar?

It gained fan following and hence DVD sales were significant. Again, familiar.

I liked the writing on Futurama. There were some rather clever jokes that it would take someone with an IQ higher than room temperature to understand. Thats room temp in Fahrenheit, 72. Which I think is the IQ aimed at for most of network TV. For that matter it could be an IQ as low as room temperature in Celsius...

Perhaps get Futurama boards interested in the vote. They vote for Firefly and nominate Futurama, and so do we.

Getting interest from Futurama's board to vote for Firefly? Futurama's currently pulling in 5-10 votes for a while (they haven't broken 20 since 12/26; the earliest data I have); that's one or two people... First, you need to get Futurama's board interested in voting for futurama! So... I'd say we vote for Futurama on it's own merit and not worry about any tie back unless Futurama fan base ignites with some "support from other quarters".

Rule of thumb, I (being a stubborn browncoat) don't vote for shows I don't like; and I don't like shows I haven't seen... so... hmmm... -if- there was a consenus to go with Futurama for a nomination run here, I'd be willing to break down and buy season one on DVD for ... $22? (quick google shows this is not an unreasonable price goal) ; then assess after viewing.

This and other searches strongly indicate the show made four seasons.
