Welcome!

You're here because you noticed how many votes we've been getting recently on http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html
You are a little curious as to how we're doing it, and because you suspect that we're cheating.

And because you heard that we're bashing your show.
Sorry about that. We don't really think your show is crap. To each their own.
But we're not cheating.
The truth is, we're just Browncoats. We fight for us and ours.
Firefly has a huge fan base.

Our show got cancelled because the executives at Fox couldn't understand it. But we fought back and got a movie. Do you understand how rare it is for something like that to happen, and what commitment and strength it took from fans and cast alike? Once you've managed something like that, organising votes for a poll is nothing. We are everywhere.
Each day more and more fans turn to the 'verse.
You are welcome to join us. Just pick up a dvd at your nearest shop. And don't forget the movie, Serenity.
Just be warned. Once you do, you may never want to leave.
And we're going to continue to call you 'geezers'. Take it for what it is. You can call us 'youngsters'.

But when you threaten to 'step' on us, and accuse us of cheating, we are not amused. And then all bets are off.


I'm thinking we'll rise again!

I second that sentiment! And if you're ever a bit curious, please do take a look at the Firefly DVD's. Can't hurt, right?


I know one thing we did right
was the day we started to fight
Keep your eyes on the prize
hold on, hold on...

Well now... this isn't the thread I was expecting. It's a good thread, and I appreciate that; and I won't use my rabble-rousing trash talk here the way I intended.
I'll just agree with what's been said, and add:

Firefly didn't get a fair shake. Those of us who've watched it believe there is alot more story to be told there. Fox "Left us wanting more," and the only way to get it is to make so much noise that whoever makes such decisions notices us, realizes there's money to be made, and cashes in on us.
This is just us makin' noise. We decide to go to war, and you'll see a whole new side of us.

Be warned, you'd best take your blood pressure meds before checking some of the other threads.
'tain't personal. Yet.

As a Firefly fan, I respect the Bonanza Series, I used to watch it every day after coming home from school in the 70's, along with the other westerns like Gunsmoke and the Big Valley. Bonanza was my favorite of all those TV westerns and I have even visited the now closed Ponderosa Ranch near Lake Tahoe.

Without the shows like Bonanza, Joss would of never gotten hooked on westerns and we would not have Firefly. Bonanza was a good series until the last couple of seasons where almost sons were killed off.

Firefly is very well written and each episode has depth than very few TV shows aquire. Don't bash it until you have seen Firefly. If you still don't like Firefly after watching at least 4 episodes, then that is ok too. But don't go bashing those who passionately love the Firefly series and everything related to it.

I used to watch Bonanza and Gunsmoke, but I can't remember which one is which. It was a long time ago.

But they were good shows. Just not, you know, Firefly.

I'm thinking we'll rise again!

Bold honorable statements, but I think this is the wrong forum to post.
It belongs to a bonanza forum.

Why does this discussion comes up anyway? Have we been accused for being unfair voters?

The reasoning behind this post was that during the past few days, a number of Bonanza fans have been looking in to see what we discuss with regards to our TV Vote at http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html.
I know this because I've been looking in (ie. eavesdropping) on their board. And since they were so curious about the way we were getting our votes, I thought to address them directly.

I didn't post on their board, because I thought it would be a bit rude to barge in and promote Firefly on a board dedicated to Bonanza discussions. So I though, since they're reading our posts anyway, to do it here.
I still think it's more appropriate here than there.


I'm thinking we'll rise again!

Every day is voting day at http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html.
