Whew, I can't believe I got in... what the heck is going on with this site?

Hi, Browncoats, I just wanted to pop in to thank Ray (and anyone else) who is helping Bonanza meet our goal for 500K by the end of the voting. That's very kind of you and a wonderful gesture. I know it wasn't intended as a tit-for-tat swap, but I have added Firefly to my hourly vote.

For the fellow who was wondering about "Ponderosa": it was a prequel which aired for one season on PAX (remember them?) which premiered in September 2001. It was filmed in Australia and told the story of Ben and the boys building the Ponderosa ranch. (Oh, and by the way, the Ponderosa was near Virginia City, Nevada, not Kansas City. Maybe you're thinking of Gunsmoke!) Ponderosa's goal by the end of the vote is to pass Lexx. Not to be mean, but the main Lexx cheerleader has consistantly dissed the westerns, so it's a bit of payback. Forgive us for being petty.

Thanks again! I don't know what I'll do once the voting ends; maybe get a life?

- Ellen

Thanks for dropping in, Ellen!

Yeah, just can't see lettin' such a major goal slip through anybody's fingers, not if a few Browncoats can help it. And, too, a number of the westerns fans have had some shiny things to say about Firefly, having been open-minded enough to check it out, so, it's just a kindness returned. Thanks, too, for you votes; can't ever have too many of those!

Delayed and annoyed mornin' stats VOMP!

Your faithful Tallymister would take it as a personal favor if anyone cared to throw some votes Ponderosa's and Bonanza's way. Bonanza, in particular, is fallin' short of the totals they're gonna need to reach their goal of 500k. Just sayin' that it'd be the neighborly thing to do to help 'em out, and I want to thank those of you who have already been helpin' move the Bonanzai's toward their goal. It'll give us a little something extra to share in celebrating when the Poll ends. Xie-xie!

Firefly is still AHEAD of schedule, but by only 1 day!

(Statistics in parentheses are previous day's stats, for comparison purposes)

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), 28.14 (30.99) days remain to vote, based on current rates of voting (as with everything else in this Poll, this time will fluctuate).

Our ultimate goal, 750,000, is 32,450 (33,651) votes, and 27.02 (28.33) days away! We're on-target, and need to maintain a daily average of 1,119 (1,086) votes to stay on track.

Firefly is 173,539 (172,936) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #16 show Doctor Who 172,735. That puts us at 1,461 (2,064) votes away from a 175,000 vote lead, about 2.42 (3.38) days, based on current voting. We still don't hold the highest lead of a show over its closest competition. That distinction currently belongs to Bonanaza, with a lead of 174,336 (174,129) over Gunsmoke. We'll soon have that tied up.

Let's keep up the hard burn, show everyone our Browncoat Fan Power, maintain our records, and clinch our final milestone!

ALL three links work for voting, so if you have trouble, you can try an alternate address instead.

You can vote for more as many Top 40 shows as you like, once every hour. You can only nominate one show per hour, at:

Download the FlyVote voting timer, a NEW version of the program. It'll remind you when it's time to vote, each hour: http://usbmicro.com/misc

Votes are counted per network IP, so, don't go to the library or your office and vote hourly on each computer on the subnet, or all votes will be thrown out; multiple votes on rotating IPs will likewise be rejected.
