Are the Buffy and Angel fans here voting for your shows at Rich Labonte's TV Vote? Little House on the Prairie is about to overtake Angel on the poll, for cryin' out loud!

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

You can vote for as many shows on the list as you like, once every hour. A nice Joss bloc would be Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. You can add to that list, of course, if you have other faves on the poll, as well.

There's also a separate nominations poll; the best candidate going, right now, is Dark Shadows, which could use a boost, anyway.

Cheers!

RAYCHEETAH

Ni Hao, Buffyverse fans! Congratulations on your shiny 130,000 votes banner for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, yesterday!

I'm a regular Browncoat voter on Rich Labonte's TV Vote

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

It's no secret that Firefly has swept away the top spot in TV Vote; Browncoats are a bit fanatical, but, we've also been organized, and, focused.

My wife and I also vote Buffy and Angel, among others. It would tickle me muchly if we could light a fire under Buffy, mebbe see if we can overtake BSG, snag 4th place, and, beat BSG to the Hall of Fame.

So, I would like to offer you some useful advice. Aside from enlightened self-interest (after all, more votes for Buffy mean, to some degree, more votes for Firefly), the fact that my wife and I also root for the Buffyverse leads me to share these tips with you.

Some of us Browncoats have been tracking Buffy as a contender for 4th place, against Battlestar Galactica. BSG pulls in a current average of 537 daily votes; Buffy gets 478, a difference of only 59 votes per day. BSG currently stands at 153,473; Buffy has 130,971, a difference of 22,502. If you could manage to get a 100 vote/day advantage on them you could catch them in 225 days, less than eight months. That would mean increasing your daily votes by 159, which is not at all unrealistic.

There are several ways we can do this:

First, is to mobilize as many Buffy voters as possible. This is simply a matter of communication. If there is a Buffyverse board or group, drop in a line or a reminder about TV Vote. If there is a forum without a TV Vote thread, start one. If there is one, post on it, keep it bumped.

Second, make sure that everyone who is voting is doing it as efficiently as possible. This means voting as often as possible within a given period of time. This is really easy:

If you want to be sure to remember when it's time, either download Flyvote, a timed program to remind you when it's time to vote: http://usbmicro.com/misc or, do what I do, and, get a cheap travel alarm clock (mebbe $4US at WalMart), and, set it for the next time to vote. Slip it in your pocket so that you won't have to hang around the computer. I guarantee that'll help you to squeeze more votes outta your day.

Third, cultivate a relationship with another, related voting group, let them know at least some of you are also voting for their show, and, why. Friendly reciprocity then takes over, especially if you keep in touch, congratulating them on voting on milestones, thanking them for their ongoing help, letting them know how their assistance is helping your own campaign. Angel is already a natural, but, there is also Dark Shadows, currently at the top of the Nominations Poll.

I am generally opposed to bald vote trades; they are hard to verify, breed suspicion and conflict, and, most folks don't abide by 'em like you'd want 'em to, never mind that they go against the spirit of the Vote; I strongly believe in the philosophy that TV Vote is about voting for the shows we each like.

I have been coaching the Dark Shadows voters at:

http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2285353

While we have no formal agreement for vote trades, both Firefly and Dark Shadows have been helping each other out. Obviously, the bulk of Firefly voters are oblivious to the fact that Dark Shadows has helped us to keep our current streak of 1,000+ votes per day going, as we try to break Xena's old record, but, the fact is, their help has kept our scores afloat during a couple of weekend dry spells, lately.

Dark Shadows, on the other hand, is pulling in as much as 273 votes/day, now, from a relatively small estimated pool of voters. Of course, a number of them (myself, included) are already voting for Buffy, but, they could definitely enhance Buffy's scores, as well, if a rapport between the two voting fandoms could be established.

Fourth is, perhaps, the most important key to energizing your voting campaign:

In order to motivate your voters to vote with real fervor, you need to provide them with more than just exhortations to vote. You need to provide them daily with concrete feedback, providing goals, progress made, and, actions needed to achieve those goals.

In short, you need to post daily voting stats, on every Buffyverse forum you can.

Daily stats do at least 5 things:

1. They provide the current progress of your show, relative to your opposition.

2. They give your loyal voters something to look forward to on your discussion thread each day, resulting in repeated viewings and bumps on the forum. When they look forward to the stats each day, it is also an immediate reminder to vote.

3. Because you will always include the TV Vote URL,

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

in each post, you make the immediacy of the need to vote convenient, as well, with one click to get to the TV Vote page.

4. You can post the status of ongoing initiatives, such as special targets for voting days, such as running total number of days over a certain number of votes, or, remind voters of an upcoming special voting event, like a vote drive on an important anniversary of your show.

You will also be able to post the outlook for long-term goals, such as days (at current voting rate, either the previous day's, or, the running weekly average) to overtake the next show above you, or, to reach a particular total, like the 250k votes needed to reach the Hall of Fame.

5. Because you will always include information on FlyVote, or, some similar vote timing program,

“Download FlyVote by FlyVote. It's a timed program to remind you when it's time to vote: http://usbmicro.com/misc”

you will provide a valuable tool which will group your voters' votes more efficiently over a given period of time, maximizing total number of votes within that period. You can also suggest other strategies, such as buying a small, inexpensive travel alarm clock to carry when they are going to be in another room away from their computer (and, thus, their vote timer program) some of the time, or, starting their hourly voting cycle as early as possible, and, voting as late as possible before going to bed.

There are other benefits to a daily stats posting, depending on how elaborate and detailed you want to get. However, the most important thing is to get keep your voters informed, and, therefore, motivated.

If you just tell them to Vote! they will, occasionally. If you tell them that, based on the numbers you put in front of them that, for example, they need to vote at least X number of times in a given day (the numbers should support whatever it is you ask of the voters), then, properly informed of the specific need, they will be likelier to do that.

EXAMPLE (from an old posting for Firefly at http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?showtopic=2254268&pid=4288273&st=860
&#entry4288273 ):

"Good mornin,' Browncoats!

Today's update on TV Vote-

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

You can vote for more than one show at a time; just check all the boxes you like, then submit your vote, once every hour.

Download FlyVote by FlyVote. It's a timed program to remind you when it's time to vote: http://usbmicro.com/misc

Top two scores as of this morning:

(Previous day's stat)

Total votes Firefly: (423,960) 425,307

Total votes Xena: (399,613) 400,176

Yesterday, Browncoats voted (1,346) 1,347 times. SHINY!

Yesterday, Xenites voted (566) 563 times.

(Xenites voted (780) 784 times less than Browncoats, yesterday).

Firefly is (24,347) 25,131 votes ahead of Xena. Firefly continues to get more votes than the next two shows, Xena and Bonanza, combined!

Browncoat votes rose by 1 yesterday, 0.7%; Xenite votes fell by 3, .53%.

We got 425,000; lookit that shiny banner!

Further out is half a million, (76,040) 74,693 votes away, still about 55.45 days out as we are currently voting.

(4,485,606) 4,499,084 have been counted as of 10/03/07. (13,041) 13,478 votes were cast yesterday. In order to take ownership of 10% of all votes cast yesterday, we needed to vote 1,348 times, which we missed by only 1 vote. We increased our share to (9.4515662%) 9.4531914% of all votes ever cast, and climbing.

We're closin' in on that 10% slice of the pie on Rich Labonte's charts! If each of us voting managed to eke out just one more vote per day, it would make a huge difference; we could start catching up on that 10%, not to mention reaching our goal numbers much more quickly.

Our 1000+/day streak is still going strong, at 65 days, continuing to beat our previous best-ever streak! Just 9 days to beat Xena's all-time record of 73 days. One more weekend to get through to get there. Let's keep the votes up, and, maintain our streak!

-Tallymister Raycheetah =^[.]^=

P.S.:

From Rich Labonte:

"Problems voting? Refresh your browser! Turn off web accelerators! Use Internet Explorer instead of the AOL browser! More problems? Check out our Tips for New Voters FAQ or come into the TV_Vote Google Group and tell us!

Also note that both http://richlabonte.net/tvvote and http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote
work for voting now, so if you guys have trouble getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try the alternate address instead."

-RC =^[.]~="

You can see how I use many of these elements in my own stats post for Firefly; I also mention four current goals (staying ahead of the combined next two shows, the next big points goal, the 10% total votes share, and, the 1k+ votes/day record), in order to give voters a lot to work toward. You won't always have so much to post, but, this example show you different ways to get your voters excited.

You can copy and customize this template to reflect Buffy's position in the polls, with numbers on both Combat! and La Femme Nikita (and, really, BSG, which should be your real target, or, whoever else is in front and behind).

You will only want to make use of the information specific to your show; vote change percentages, total votes and percentages held, and the like are extra chrome, and, not necessarily worth calculating, at this point.

Also, it's not worth noting a voting streak until your show has been voting above a meaningful total for three or more days in a row; if the totals fluctuate above and below that point regularly, there is no sense in bringing it up unless those totals stay high for a longer than normal time.

I am confident that this will help increase interest in your voters, and, also, in potential new voters who see what, exactly, you are asking them to do, and, how their votes impact the score.

I'm sorry I don't have the time to wrangle the stats for yet another show (or, two, couting Angel), but, if any of you wants to take up the gauntlet, and, really punch up the vote, you can PM me at http://www.scifi.com/ , and, I'll be happy to lend what advice I can. You can get a listing of some of the Buffyverse forums on which you might post at:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/tv_links.htm

Yahoo groups is also a rich resource, should someone be ambitious enough to join and post there, too. The more fans who see your numbers, the more who will vote. Once you have your stats, it's just a matter of C&Ping the post to each thread, once a day. Now, who's gonna step up and be the BSG Slayer?

Best of all good luck to you.

Or you can do like I do and vote for Firefly, Buffy, and Angel (and/or the X-Files, Drive, etc.) all at the same time, every time.

Well, yeah, naturally enough. I just meant this to be a set of tools for some ambitious (i.e., crazy as I am) Buffyverse fan to really stimulate the vote. It's worked for me and the other Browncoat vote-wranglers; I just think it'd be a shame for Buffy, for example, not to achieve the potential it has to really take the polls away from BSG.

Just to be sayin.'

Okay, so, I've found the time to run Buffyverse stats, too.

Buffy and Angel now both have a shot at the Hall of Fame, but both need some extra help to get there in time!

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), 84.79 (85.68) days remain to vote, based on current rates of voting.

Today's update on TV Vote-

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

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, with a write-in vote, at:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/nominations.html

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

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

#7 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 575 (557) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 370 (410) votes, yesterday, in 11.95 (18.06) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 5,380 (5,955) votes, and 9.36 (10.69) days, away, while Farscape is 7.92 (8.05) days from getting there.

Just a little over a week remains in the Hall of Fame race, and Buffy is still 1.44 days behind! Let's vote to get her out in front!

#11 show Angel got 505 (507) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat!, which received 425 (414) votes, in 29.46 (26.2) days. Angel also has a realistic shot at the 9th Hall of Fame slot, if we can get his daily average up to about 570 votes, and, is 48,379 (48,884) votes, and 95.8 (96.42) days, away!

Angel is moving up, again, thanks to your help! Let's get him into the Hall of Fame!

In other TV Vote news (vampire genre shows whose voters also support Buffy, Angel, and the Whedonverse):

#28 show Dark Shadows got 355 (332) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to to pass #27 show Stargate Atlantis, which got 286 (310) votes, in 9.49 (32.99) days.

Dark Shadows could use your help to keep up the pace!

#41 show (#1 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 492 (473) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #40 show Cleopatra 2525, which got 150 (173) votes, in 4.92 (6.75) days.

Let's work together to get Blood Ties over the top!

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

Buffy really needs a push in the next few days to win the race to the Hall of Fame! The Slayer can't do it without YOU! Please back Buffy for the win!

#7 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 609 (478) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 363 (332) votes, yesterday, in 6.98 (13.45) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 3,304 (3,913) votes, and 5.43 (8.19) days, away, while Farscape is 4.37 (5.87) days from getting there.

Just a few days remain in the Hall of Fame race, and Buffy is gaining, but she is still behind by about a day! Let's boost the vote to get her out in front!

#11 show Angel got 483 (428) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat!, which received 461 (360) votes, in 100.32 (32.78) days. Angel also has a realistic shot at the 9th Hall of Fame slot, if we can get his daily average up to about 575 votes, currently being 46,612 (47,095) votes, and 96.51 (110.04) days, away!

Angel still needs your help to pass Combat!

#28 show Dark Shadows got 352 (296) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to to pass #27 show Stargate Atlantis, which got 297 (253) votes, in 7.73 (11.16) days.

Dark Shadows still needs your help to keep up the pace!

#41 show (#1 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 578 (432) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #40 show Cleopatra 2525, which got 177 (152) votes, in 1.03 (2.9) days.

Let's work together to get Blood Ties over the top! If we can get enough votes enough to pass Cleopatra 2525 today, BT can enter the Top 40 at below 85,000 votes, which means it will get its first 5,000 vote milestone banner at 85k! If we miss this opportunity, BT won't get its first banner until 90,000 votes.

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

#7 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got a much-improved 648 (609) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 372 (363) votes, yesterday, in 5.22 (6.98) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 2,656 (3,304) votes, and 4.1 (5.43) days, away, while Farscape is 3.27 (4.37) days from getting there.

Just a few days remain in the Hall of Fame race, and Buffy is gaining, but she is still behind by about a day! Let's boost the vote to get her out in front!

#11 show Angel got 553 (483) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to pass #10 show Combat!, which received 445 (461) votes, in 19.44 (100.32) days. Angel also has a realistic shot at the 9th Hall of Fame slot, if we can get his daily average up to about 575 votes, currently being 46,059 (46,612) votes, and 83.29 (96.51) days, away!

Many thanks for your support, but Angel still needs your help to pass Combat!

And, in the interest of vampire solidarity...

#28 show Dark Shadows got 366 (352) votes, yesterday, receiving enough votes to to pass #27 show Stargate Atlantis, which got 333 (297) votes, in 11.88 (7.73) days.

Dark Shadows still needs your help to keep up the pace!

Blood Ties got an incredible 714 (578) votes, yesterday, passing Cleopatra 2525, which got 177 (177) votes, to enter the Top 40, becoming the new #40 show! Blood Ties is on track to pass #39 show Alias, which got 223 (190) votes, in 5.42 (8.13) days.

Thanks, again, for all the help getting Blood Ties over the Top, folks!

#44 show (#4 in the Nominations Poll) Moonlight got 551 (556) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #43 show The Professionals, which got 108 (117) votes, yesterday, in 10.19 (11.3) days.

Now that Blood Ties has entered the Top 40, let's focus on getting Moonlight there, as well!

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

Dark Shadows got 351 (395) votes, yesterday, passing House MD, which got 220 (200) votes. Dark Shadows is the new #25 show, today! Dark Shadows is on track to pass #24 show Highway to Heaven, which got 271 (245) votes, in 3.36 (2.33) days.

Please continue to lend your support to our friends, the Barnabas Browncoats!

#35 show Blood Ties got 472 (467) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #34 show JAG, which got 163 (157) votes, yesterday, in 9.37 (10.34) days.

And, as always,though no vampires were featured, Firefly needs your support:

With your help, yesterday, Firefly got 1,075 (976) votes. Our ultimate goal, 750,000 votes, is 45,739 (46,814) votes, and 42.55 (47.97) days away! We're on-target, and need to maintain a daily average of 974 (1,041) votes to stay on track!

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

A fresh update on TV Vote:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://www.richlabonte.net/tvvote

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/index.html

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.

(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), 30.99 (29.39) days remain to vote, based on current rates of voting (as with everything else in this Poll, this time will fluctuate).

#6 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 565 (658) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass BSG by the end of the Poll. Buffy's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #7 show Farscape.

#9 show Angel got 532 (635) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass Jericho by the end of the Poll. Angel's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #10 show The X-Files. Angel is 38.9 (33.43) days from the Hall of Fame, about 8 (4) days behind. In order to enter the HoF before the Poll ends, Angel needs a daily average of at least 767 (758) votes.

With your help, yesterday, Firefly got 965 (1,096) votes. Our ultimate goal, 750,000, is 30,389 (31,354) votes, and 31.49 (28.61) days away! With a bad voting day, yesterday, we're falling behind, and we need to maintain a daily average of 1,126 (1,120) votes to stay on track.

At this point, every vote we fail to cast is lost forever; we won't always have "tomorrow" to make it up! We're approaching the end of a marathon race, getting ready to sprint toward the finish, and we all need to push harder, to stay on pace to achieve our goals!

Thanks, again, for your time, and, for your support of these great shows!

A fresh update on TV Vote:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote

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

An estimated 7.86 days remain to vote, based on current rates of voting.

#6 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 843 (678) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass #5 show BSG by the end of the Poll. Buffy's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #7 show Farscape.

#9 show Angel got 836 (659) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass #8 show Jericho by the end of the Poll.

At current rates of voting, Angel can no longer be overtaken by #10 show Combat! within the time remaining. Great job!

With your help, yesterday, Firefly got 1,760 (1,381) votes. Our ultimate goal, 750,000, is 9,025 (10,785) votes, and 5.13 (7.81) days away! We need to maintain a minimum daily average of 1,129 (1,079) votes for the balance of the Poll to stay on track.

Alright! We have one, last shot at the record which has eluded us: Most votes cast in a 24 hour voting period (from approximately 0600 EST (1000 GMT) until approximately 0700 EST (1100 GMT) the following day). Firefly topped out on March 7, 2007: 2,359; Xena broke that record, on March 30, 2007: 2,803. Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 6, we're gonna do the impossible, again, and take back the record, once and for all! I know from the numbers that many of you are already going for a hard burn. Still, if there is any way to squeeze in even 1 or 2 more votes during the Wednesday-Thursday voting period, it'll make a difference. Be a good day for an all nighter!

And, in the interest of vampire solidarity:

#24 show Dark Shadows got 527 (468) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #23 show Star Trek: The Original Series, which got 389 (303) votes, in 1.2 (1.84) days! Dark Shadows will reach 150,000 votes in another 3,951 (4,478) votes, and 7.5 (9.57) days. At current rates of voting they are just EXACTLY on schedule to reach that final goal before the end of the Poll!

C'mon! Let's help our friends the Vampire Flans achieve their final goal!

#34 show Blood Ties got 754 (591) votes, yesterday, and is on track to pass #33 show The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which got 294 (265) votes, yesterday, in 4.21 (7.36) days.

Let's help the Fitzroyals advance!

Moonlight got 1,933 (1,615) votes, yesterday, passing JAG, which got 359 (295) votes. Moonlight is the new #35 show, today! Moonlight is on track to pass Blood Ties, which got 754 (591) votes, in 4.25 (6.05) days, as well as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which it will pass at about the same time, in 4.24 (6.36) days.

At this point, every vote we fail to cast is lost forever; we won't always have "tomorrow" to make it up! We're approaching the end of a marathon race, getting ready to sprint toward the finish, and we all need to push harder, to stay on pace to achieve our goals!

Alright, here's what we got for our efforts, yesterday: WE DID THE IMPOSSIBLE! 2,858 VOTES! Firefly beat Xena's top score, 2,803, by 55 votes. SHINY SHINY SHINY! Moonlight has held the top daily vote totals for the past 22 consecutive days; we also beat their score, yesterday, 1,654, by 1,204 votes, another record, this one for best positive daily vote differential over the next highest voting show!

#6 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got an astonishing record-breaking 1,229 (802) votes, yesterday, though not receiving enough votes to pass #5 show BSG by the end of the Poll. Buffy's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #7 show Farscape.

#9 show Angel got a remarkable record-breaking 1,071 (813) votes, yesterday, still not receiving enough votes to pass #8 show Jericho by the end of the Poll. Angel's numbers are sufficient to hold off #10 show Combat!.

#6 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 758 (917) votes, yesterday, not receiving enough votes to pass #5 show BSG by the end of the Poll. Buffy's numbers are still sufficient to hold off #7 show Farscape.

And, in the interest of vampire solidarity:

#23 show Dark Shadows got 637 (601) votes, yesterday, and is projected to pass Star Trek: Voyager, which got 310 (303) votes, in 2.61 (3.96) days, just before the end of the Poll.

Dark Shadows will reach 150,000 votes in another 1,109 (1,746) votes, and 1.74 (2.91) days. At current rates of voting they are TWO days ahead of schedule to reach that final goal before the end of the Poll!

IT'S OVER!

Rich Labonte's TV Vote:

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote

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

Rich Labonte's TV Vote Poll has ended, with a total of 8,367,753 votes cast in the Top 40 Poll, and 1,633,229 votes in the Nominations Poll, for a total of 10,000,982 votes cast. The site will be maintained as a shrine to Fan Power, and we Whedon fans have shown that we excel in Fan Power, more than any other fandom!

8,367,753 (8,344,250) Top 40 votes have been counted as of 08/13/08. Yesterday, on the final day of voting, 23,503 (21,459) votes were cast.

Total votes Firefly: 755,646 (753,890)

Yesterday, Firefly received 1,756 (1,558) votes, 198 more than the previous day. Pretty gorram shiny, and a fine total for our last day of voting! Well done! Our reputation is SOLID!

Banners were not issued, today, but we qualified for one at 755,000 votes! Shiny as a Big Damn Sequel!

Let's review our accomplishments in TV Vote:

1. We've been the #1 show in the Poll since August 17th, 2007, when we passed Xena.

2. We achieved our ultimate goal, 750,000 votes on Saturday, August 9, 2008, triple the requisite number to achieve the Hall of Fame, an accomplishment uniquely our own.

3. Firefly achieved the record for most votes cast in a single day, 2,858, on Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Xena, Warrior Princess held the previous record, dating back to March 30, 2007: 2,803.

4. Firefly holds the record for consecutive days at 1,000+ daily votes, 75.

5. Firefly ended at 196,773 votes ahead of #2 show Xena, more than the total accumulated votes of #15 show La Femme Nikita 194,580. That is the highest lead of any show over it's nearest competitor (or any other show) in the Top 40 Poll!

6. Firefly's share of the Top 40 voting pie (percentage of total votes cast, which had peaked at 10%) remains at 9.03%. The next highest share belongs to Xena: Warrior Princess, at 6.68%.

7. Firefly has had the top daily score every day for 441 consecutive days, starting Sunday, April 29, 2007, until Moonlight finally broke our streak. Still, an incredible and unmatched accomplishment!

A big Browncoat xie-xie to all the Browncoats and our many friends in achieving all these shiny goals! Teamwork made us strong!

#6 show Buffy the Vampire Slayer got 932 (878) votes, yesterday, ending at 294,601 not receiving enough votes to pass #5 show BSG by the end of the Poll.

#9 show Angel got 952 (865) votes, yesterday, ending at 247,242, not receiving enough votes to pass #8 show Jericho by the end of the Poll.

Dark Shadows got 738 (738) votes, yesterday, , ending at 151,075, and passing Star Trek: Voyager, which got 317 (316) votes. Dark Shadows is the new #22 show, today!

Dark Shadows achieved their final goal, today! Thanks for your help!

#34 show Blood Ties got 919 (828) votes, yesterday, ending at 129,439, not receiving enough votes to pass #33 show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine by the end of the Poll. They ended 561 votes from getting a final banner, for 130,000 votes.

Moonlight got 2,461 (2,235) votes, yesterday, ending at 134,134, and passing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which got 396 (359) votes. Moonlight is the new #32 show, today.
