Well, Tex, bottom line is, the studios in the TV and motion picture industries don't want to pay the Writers, like Joss, for example, either a fair (though miniscule) percentage of the DVD sales of their works, or, ANYTHING AT ALL for what is shown online by the networks and studios, or, that is sold for personal digital storage devices (ITunes).

The studios claim that they make no money (!) on those transactions, so, they don't want to promise the Writers a share of even nothing.

Here's a thread you can visit with a lot of information; later posts have more up-to-date information:

This is a stats breakdown from 02/19/06 to 08/21/06, from the TV Vote Group archives! Be sure to read the second post, as these numbers may not take into account a 4 day hiatus in July of that year.

A lot has changed, in all that time!

Blast from the past VUMP!

With that, and, 23 votes at our house, today, I bid you adieu.

US Thanksgiving mornin' manual stats VUMP!

What am I thankful for? Among other things, all my shiny Browncoat brothers and sisters! I love you guys!

Top two scores as of this morning:

(Previous day's stat)

Total votes Firefly: 475,185 (474,114)

Total votes Xena: 423,049 (422,481)

Yesterday, Browncoats voted 1,071 (1,089) times.

Yesterday, Xenites voted 568 (599) times.

(Xenites voted 503 (490) times less than Browncoats, yesterday).

Firefly is 52,136 (51,633) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #40 show Hercules: The Legendary Journeys 49,761!

Browncoat votes fell by 18 yesterday, 1.65%; Xenite votes fell by 31, 5.18%.

We got a shiny 475,000 votes banner, today!

Our next, big goal is half a million, 24,815 (25,886) votes away, still about 23.17 (23.77) days out as we are currently voting.

4,982,239 (4,970,965) votes have been counted as of 11/22/07. 11,274 (11,715) votes were cast yesterday. In order to take ownership of 10% of all votes cast yesterday, we needed to vote 1,128 (1,172) times, of which we fell short by 57 votes. Our share fell to 9.5375799% (9.5376645%) of all votes ever cast.

Despite the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, this week, we did alright, yesterday. For those of us who celebrate it, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, you and yours! Everybody else, have a shiny day!

going to the neighbor's for Thanksgiving dinner...(in the south, for some reason, ham, mac and cheese (?) and sometimes roast beef are also part of the 'traditional' meal...very strange). Also..with my apologies to southerners here; cornbread dressing?..please, it's dirt with celery. Every year we have gone to the same family's home for Turkey day..and she makes an enormous pan of cornbread dressing (see dirt with celery above). Since I make the basic Yankee dressing to take..it's always eaten up and the cornbread dressing is left with maybe a spoonful or two taken out. Is it wrong of me to be somewhat gleeful about that? Pondering vump.

Nothing wrong with being gleeful, so long as you're quiet about it. Smirking at the hostess and/or commenting on how yours is more popular than hers (ahhhhh no ' to indicate possesion because "your" and "her" are both self indicative of singular third person! Sorry, it finally clicked) would be high on the rude scale.
She knows, but continues to make it because it's traditional.

Have fun today vump!
