Let's stay ahead of Farscape, Browncoats! The top two should be Whedon shows!

I'd rather win by fair means thanks all the same. If the site think we have cheated Firefly could be disqualified.

I agree. This kind of piling-on at tvshowsondvd.com got caught. Voting was stopped twice and votes were removed, to the embarrassment of the fans of Wonderfalls. If there's enough fan interest in Firefly -- and why shouldn't there be? -- then we should make enough of an impact. I don't think we need to chase Angel either.

I think 13% is pretty impressive, considering the relative audience sizes of the shows - that a show so few have had a chance to see should do so well might just turn some heads!

This isn't a contest we can win or a test we can cheat on.

It's about creating new fans. The only reason we should vote for "Firefly" on polls such as this is in the hopes that people ignorant of the show will glance at the poll, see the big numbers for 'Firefly', and get curious. The more fans we can create, the better the movie will do, and hopefully we can ensure our BDHs will be around for a long time.

Vote and vote OFTEN.

Tiger is correct. We must raise awareness about the show and convert as many new fans as we can.

As for the poll, here are the results as of 11:55 EST:

Firefly 13% 2062 votes

We are tied for 2nd place % wise w/ Farscape, though we have a mere 15 more votes than they do. We are well behind Angel though.

Huh, how long this poll been on?

FF 13%
Angel 30%
Sports Night 6%
F&G 6%
Boomtown 5%
Futurama 10%
Farscape 13%
The critic 2%
Dark Angel 8%
The Tick (Live) 2%

Need more browncoats.

But, to be honest, there are more Angel fans than FF fans. And FF is number 2 in ranking! (2076 for FF vs. 4675 for Angel) Need 3k votes to push FF over, assuming no one else votes significantly for Angel.
