TV Guide Vampire Poll-Barnabas is losing! Go vote

[jimbo]

TV Guide has a Fright Halloween poll. One of the questions asks, "Who is your favorite TV Vampire". To date Angel has 29% of the vote compared to Barnabas' 4% as of this writing.

Pfft. Barnabas has way more depth than any of those other slack-jaws. *votes*

[Midnite]

Thanks, jimbo.  And Angel is being eclipsed by his co-star, Spike.  Ouch!

It's nice to see DS all over their Halloween section-- in Supernatural Shows (the writeup shows that they get it, and the word "campy" isn't in it, yay!), the Halloween Hall of Fame (as Best Daytime Drama), So Sexy It's Scary (a picture of vampire Angelique), and there's at least one DS question in the Blood Test.

I voted for Barnie : ) How did you folks ever find that site? LOL

[jimbo]

You are welcome Midnite. Yeah I like the other treats thrown in there in addition to the poll question. I am also glad that DS got good exposure and respect.

Hope nobody here failed the 1st Blood test question lol.

Hope the people here can provide up to date poll numbers as I am not sure you can double dip if you know what I mean. Hopefully, we can help Barnabas make a good showing.

 WHAT?!! Barnabas only has 4% of the vote?!!  Spike, Angel and Drusilla being higher rated than Barnabas is equivalent to Count Chocula, The Count from Sesame Street and Bunnicula getting a higher rating than Dracula!  As Roger would say, "Preposterous!!"  

[Misa]

I agree with your sentiment 100% PennyDreadful, I think it's because the other vampires have been on TV more recently. If more DS were being shown on a network during primetime Barnabas would leave those other bloodsuckers in the dirt. It is very sad that Barnabas is only a few percentage points above Grampa from the Munsters. Come on now! Make sure that everyone votes so Barny make a good showing.

I wish that they said how many votes have been cast.

I like the character of Spike, but as a vampire...ehh, there's no way I would choose him as my favorite over Barnabas, or Angel for that matter. Barnabas is easily my favorite tv vampire. Angel/Angelus (in his Buffy days) is definitely my second.

Loved reading all of the features.

.....patti is glad voting is private in this country

Thanks Jimbo

  Spike

But it is extremely cool to see Barnabas Collins listed...ya gotta wonder, how many younger people are saying, "Who's Barnabas Collins". Good thing alot of us have kids to tell their friends!

[Patti Feinberg]

Hey...click on the Barnabas tombstone-type icon...there's a fun little Vampire movie/show trivia game.
It's called Blood Test

I voted for Barnabas.  I will always vote for Barnabas...I could also do some other things for Barnabas, but we won't go in to it.

[Gothick]

I'm aghast that not only is Barnabas getting so little of the vote, but none of the vampires from Forever Knight are in the running!

I guess Forever Knight is even more obscure than I thought it was.

I really liked Spike and Drusilla as they originally appeared on Season 2 of BtVS.  I'll spare you my comments on the rest.

Not for lack of trying on my part.....

THIS is a travesty.   

So now it's like 30% to 5%.  We're not making any headway here.

PS  It totally went over my head that Grandpa from the Munsters was a vampire.  Guess I never paid much attention when watching that show.  It was always The Addams Family for me all the way.
