Can use your help, We are doing great!

Dark Shadows got 637 votes, ANOTHER record, on TV Vote, and continues closing in on ST: Voyager!

Many thanks from the Firefly Browncoats for the help of the Dark Shadows voters; our triumph, 750,000 votes, is your triumph, as well. We couldn't have done it without you! Dark Shadows voters have made a HUGE contribution to Firefly. Assuming a modest 30 votes per day (which is just the numbers I know I can confirm), that's 900 votes per month, which, since we started working together in September, comes easily to around 10,000 votes. Without your help, we Browncoats wouldn't be where we are.

Let's make our final pass on Star Trek: Voyager!

Yours in the cause,

There are only one or two days left to vote. I wanted to say thank you for everyone that helped out.  Please pass around the links for the last two days. We would love to go out on a very note.

Doing my best. Getting my votes in for DS (plus the Whedon shows, The X-Files, and NorEx) whenever possible.

We made it to another banner, 150,000 votes and here's Barnabas to prove it. We share it with another vampire show, Moonlight, which I frankly enjoyed tremendously... and they canceled.... the bums!

150,000 votes and here's Barnabas to prove it.

I'm glad to get my votes in for DS and my other favorite shows. Granted, I find some of the top 40 a bit strange (where's Twin Peaks? My So-Called Life? Dead Like Me?  And especially classics like I Love Lucy?), but still, I'll be voting for DS as often as I get the chance to.

Participating in the vote has become such an hourly ritual for me, and it's been a fun ride. It will be ALMOST bittersweet to surpass ST Voyager, which I enjoy almost as much as DS.

Well the poll is finally done.  I didn't vote every hour, or every day but did put in quite a few over the last few months.

The site is down now as they put together final totals, etc.  It'll be interesting to see if DS did manage to eclipse Star Trek: Voyager.

Thanks, RayCheetah for all your dedication.  I doubt DS would have even been in the poll at all if not for your efforts.

Star Trek: Voyager 150734

We did it. We reach all our goals.

I had started this thread over one year ago, and then Ray took it over. Thansks Ray,  I wanted to say thanks for everyone that voted. Jackie for also putting up Banners, and helping me put them together.

Take Care, All

So now what do we do with the rest of our lives?

[Raycheetah]

It's over, and Dark Shadows is the new #22 show on TV Vote! Thanks to everyone who participated, even if their efforts were hampered by technical issues or other obstacles.

It has been my pleasure to act as your Tallymister these past 11 months. Thanks for sharing this journey with me!

I'm glad Dark Shadows made it on, though I question how good a list that includes Blood Ties (not a bad show, but not a particularly good one, either, IMHO) but not I Love Lucy or many other truly classic series. I do consider myself somewhat a Browncoat, but I don't think Firefly deserves to be called the best TV show ever made. However, I'm going off-topic. DS FTW.

[loril54]

One of the things that it measures if Fan Power. The Browncoats are reallly fans.
They sure helped us get where we are in the poll. Also many Browncoats began wating
Dark Shadows.

I was one of the Barnabas Browncoast.

[GooberCollins]

So really, it's not which 40 TV series are the best, it's which 40 have the most dedicated online fanbases. Not to say that Dark Shadows doesn't deserve to be inlcuded on a Top 40 Best Shows Ever list; it does.
