That's what I thought too. I was wondering how the Bonanza-ers and Xenites (*chuckle chuckle*)got so many votes.

The fans of Bonanza have a few websites, chief among them is a site with a honest to goodness discussion board with subjects like "Jeff's gloves" and "Why is Bonanza rated PG?" They also have a so-called mailing list,whereby they contact all their members and inform them of events and such. I suppose they used this to garner votes. They are steadfastly kicking the Xenites'behinds. (*giggle giggle*) I noticed that the Xenites (*coughing*) are a bit stressed about that.

It is a sad sad say when earth-that-was cowboys get more organised than us

That's a strange bunch of shows. Does anyone really think that Xena, LaFemme Nikita, Lexx are worthy of votes? It's nice the Browncoats are making a push on this...but it really seems like a bunch of hooey. MASH isn't on there, nor is the Mary Tyler Moore Show, and West Wing is second to last...I may be a sci-fi geek and a Browncoat, but even I realize that there are tons of other shows that could be considered "the best" that aren't there.

Oh well, voted for Firefly anyway! I didn't read every post on this thread, has anyone started listing their favorite all-time shows? Here's mine:

1. Firefly
2. MASH
3. Star Trek: TNG
4. West Wing
5. Battlestar Galactica

Now that's a strange list! Ha.

I know what you mean. But I suppose the voting is a good measurement of how strong the fans feel about their particular show.

Shows like Westwing or 24 do not necessarily have the type of fan who would join a fancommunity.

The voting doesn't necessarily test the "best" show, in the strictest sense of the word....it does test the most "favourite" show. And I'm happy with that. It shows our power.

We're doing great, pulling in awesome numbers, keep it up and we'll overtake Farscape well before Christmas!

I do have one other minor little request I'm just going to throw out there... the site has added, or reinstated rather, a nomination poll. Unlike the voting poll you can only nominate one per hour. Now, there are a lot of great shows on the list, but the top two, who are neck and neck, are Wagon Train and House MD.

Any other House fans out there, or even anyone willing to help us overcome Wagon Train? Or tell me what the hell it is? It's be appreciated, I'd like to see it make the list so I can start helping some other nominees make the cut.

Don't make faces.

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!

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...

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 )

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.
