Dark Shadows gets 435 votes on a strange voting day on TV Vote...

Votes went up SHARPLY, yesterday, resulting in the sharp reduction of time left in the Poll. This is one of two things: Either it is a singular anomaly, and we can expect a corresponding drop in votes, tomorrow, or TV Vote has gone to the next level, and we're on the fast track to the finish. Time will tell!

Details, including a projection for 150,000 vootes, may be viewed at:

Let's vote while we have them to cast!

If we don't do anything else we need to set our sites on toping Star Trek the original series. We are so close. "Let's get R done". As Larry the cable guy would say. [ghost_grin]

Why not have it all?

Dark Shadows is still on schedule to pass ST:OS on TV Vote; we still need to pick up the pace to reach 150k!

Stats, analysis, and all that rot, may be indulged in at:

Let's pick it up and sprint for the finish line!

There is not to many days left of the poll. If you haven't voted before please do.
I would really like to see us do 150,000.  The pace has really picked up from other
shows so your votes could make a big difference.

End of the TV vote Commercial.

Thanks all.

just an f.y.i. to those involved...

i just tried to vote for the first time in several months and of course got the "we're sorry!" announcement.

that's why i stopped trying in the first place.i would have voted for d.s. many,many times but 90% of the time i tried was unable too.

that's a pretty major glitch.

I'm very sorry you had those difficulties. Are you using AOL? That is the single most common cause of the problem you describe. For reasons to do with the way AOL "saves" previous browses, rather than redirecting you to a fresh TV Vote (or other active) screen, the new visit isn't really to a new vote, but to your previous one, which is why it doesn't go through. Changing to most any other browser, and refreshing your page when you see the error message should solve that problem, with few exceptions. To quote an experienced troubleshooter:

"Your pc will store cache images of
all the various sites you visit.  If you search for a site that is in
your cache, IE will just re-display the last image from your cache.
So, your exit and re-try, you are only talking to your local cache,
you are not really talking to the TVVOTE server.  Only by asking for a
'refresh',  will your browser re-query the source site, in this case
the TVVOTE server, for the latest information. "

Thanks for at least trying, again and I hope that this information will enable you to join us in getting Dark Shadows past 150k!

Dark Shadows has fallen behind schedule to pass ST:OS on TV Vote, as we experienced a substantial drop in votes, yesterday. We really don't need to stay ahead of ST:OS by much, only about 57 daily votes, just 23 more than we had over them, yesterday. However, between their increased votes, and our dropoff, that is going to be a challenge. I have renewed my requests of our voting partners for increased help achieving our final goals. However, our success should ride primarily on our own efforts, with any assistance from our friends considered only supplemental.

Dark Shadows is back in the running on TV Vote, gaining 40 daily votes over the previous day, and over ST:OS! If we can just increase our votes a little more (with some help from our friends), we can get to 150,000 votes, as well!

Check out the numbers at:

Let's dig deep and get there fast!

We are almost neck in neck with Star Trek the original series. We should be getting a new banner at about the same time or a day later 145,000. By next week we can overtake them. Keep the votes coming. [ghost_cheesy]

Dark Shadows is again 100+ daily votes ahead of ST:OS on TV Vote, as we are afforded another opportunity to gain ground by sustaining our pace, while many Starfleet personnel take a weekend shore leave from voting. We are currently in good shape to pass ST:OS with time to spare; we're still behind by a day on making our last banner, at 150,00 votes.

I just wanted to jump in and say HI. I am still voting every hour.

We are getting close to the end of the poll. We can make up some
numbers on the weekend. I am sorry there are those that have had
problems voting. I wish I could come over and help you out. :(

Any help would be appreciated, there are only 250,000 available votes
to be cast.  Thanks everyone. DS rules.

Take Care, all.

Dark Shadows not only got a stand-alone banner on TV Vote, today, it also advanced tremendously on ST:OS!

Of all the Top 400 shows, only two actually increased their votes over the previous day, yesterday: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Dark Shadows. Everyone else's votes fell, often precipitously. I want to thank Lori for putting the banners out there where I can make sure they get in front of all the folks who might like to see 'em. In fact, got yet another Browncoat pledge to support DS, just today, and I'm sure the banners helped remind them of how much Dark Shadows voters have helped Firefly.

Not much farther to  go. Let's push for our final banner for 150,000 votes, and ST:OS will fall behind us on its own!

We reached 145,000 today I'm glad that we did it today instead of yesterday. Because we have a banner all to ourselves. Yeah Dark Shadows fans! [ghost_cheesy]
