Heyyas!

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

http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/

My favorite show, Firefly, has recently taken #1 in the top 40 "Best TV Shows of All Time" poll.

Dark Shadows, for those of you not already nominating your show, is very close to breaking out of the nominee category, and, into the bottom of the top 40.

ETA: 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. You can only nominate one show per hour:

To nominate Dark Shadows, click on the NOMS link at the bottom of the page, and, type into the nomination window "Dark Shadows (1966)" to submit your vote. That will make sure the vote gets properly counted! Once Dark Shadows gets into the Top 40, you will be able to vote for it in the main voting menu, instead.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys currently has 36199 votes, in the #40 spot.

Dark Shadows is third from the top of the nominees, at 27374 votes.

Above you are

Scoop at 28054

and

Les Filles de Caleb at 33808

For some time, Dark Shadows has been expected to break out into the bottom of the top 40; to do so, it has to beat whatever the current total is for the lowest slot in the top 40 by at least 100 points. That will take some time, but, I have come to you folks for this reason:

I have been nominating The Dresden Files for weeks, now, and, it's been awfully lonely. Nobody else seems to care enough to nominate it. So, I have been looking for an alternative, a show with the potential to get into the top 40, and to drive down the dreck that doesn't belong there. Dark Shadows was a favorite childhood nightmare, for me. I can still remember the music, the spooky sets, the terrifying inevitability of the evil which haunted Collinwood.

Dark Shadows still resonates with me.

I am prepared to cast my nomination votes for Dark Shadows, and, to continue to vote for it after it breaks out into the top 40. All I ask is that, you folks do the same. You have a passion for this show; demonstrate it!

I will do my best to keep you folks apprised of the progress Dark Shadows is making; if you like, come visit the Firefly board, look for the pinned topic there to see how we're doing, as well. I will not be posting any progress reports from this Saturday, August 25 through the following Saturday, September 1, as I will be on vacation. Any internet time I can muster while away will be used to vote.

By the way, you can vote in the top 40 for more than one show at a time, but can only nominate one show; you also don't have to vote in the top 40 to nominate, if you prefer not to. For a timed voting reminder, download FlyVote by FlyVote. It'll remind you it's time to vote every hour: http://usbmicro.com/misc.

If you're on other Dark Shadows forums, please, feel free to post copies from this thread. It's a worthy show, far more so than a lot already in the top 40.

Let's bring this show up outta the basement!

Posted for Raycheetah:

Good morning, Dark Shadows fans!

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 getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. I recommend bookmarking them all, for rapid transition, if you have trouble voting.

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. You can only nominate one show per hour.

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

#34 show:
Total votes Queer as Folk 82,297 (82,242)

Yesterday, QAF fans voted 55 times (69), 14 fewer than the previous day, 20.29%.

#35 show:
Total votes Dark Shadows (1966) 79,794 (79,397)

Yesterday, Dark Shadows fans voted 397 times (430), 33 less than the previous day, 7.67%.

QAF is 2,503 (2,845) votes ahead of us. It will take us 7.32 (7.88) days to catch them, based on current voting levels (yesterday, our lead over them was 342 (361)/day).

63 consecutive days at 300+ daily votes. We still need to top our record of 524 votes in a day!

We'll get our next banner, for 80,000 votes, in 206 (603) votes, and, .52 (1.4) days! Watch for it tomorrow!

A deep and sincere thank you very much to everyone who is voting for Dark Shadows, including those who are just answering the call! With your help, we got Dark Shadows up into the Top 40, where it can get the attention it deserves, as a well-loved classic TV show!

-Raycheetah =^[.]^=

In other TV Vote news (shows whose voters also support Dark Shadows):

Yesterday, Firefly got 991 votes (1,082), and, is 97,561 (97,013) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #27 show Charmed 94,428.. Your help makes that possible! Thanks!

#5 show Battlestar Galactica got 523 (509) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to overtake #4 show, Gunsmoke, which got 382 (423) votes, yesterday, in 292.64 (481.43) days, or, .84 (1.32) years. BSG is also in pursuit of the 5th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 36,632 (37,155) votes, and, 70.04 (73) days, away!

BSG could use some help, folks, if they are to make any headway against the westerns in the Top 5, and, they have extended us their voting support, as well, and, were instrumental in getting Dark Shadows into the Top 40.

#7 show Buffy got 541 (540) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 377 (420) votes, yesterday, in 142.9 (196.66) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 63,878 (64,419) votes, and, 118.07 (119.29) days, away, while Farscape is only 107.28 (97.19) days from getting there, first.

With just a little more effort, Buffy still has time to make it to the Hall of Fame, first!

#11 show Angel got 474 (458) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to pass #10 show La Femme Nikita, which received 180 (201) votes, yesterday, in 21.61 (25.86) days. #12 show Little House on the Prairie got 336 (370) votes, and, is not currently receiving enough votes to pass Angel.

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

P.S.: For those who are interested in Moonlight in the Nominations Poll:

Total votes Moonlight 12,248 (11,957)

Moonlight got 291 (270) votes, yesterday, not passing any shows. It will take about another three days to pass The West Wing.

Raycheetah is still among you; he is now just posting in drag. This is my wife's account, which she very sagely suggested I try out until Skiffy gets the ones which have been screwed up (including mine) fixed.

Thanks for the concern, and, this still bears a certain amount of handicap, but, at least, now I won't have to rely on the kindness of others to do my thing.

Stay shiny!

AND...

Let's all extend a friendly, Collinwood welcome to the Nominations voters of Blood Ties! Blood Ties is a current vampire program, whose fandom is struggling, after only 22 episodes, to get their show renewed (sound familiar?). Judge for yourself how good it is by viewing it for free online (use the "Select an episode" drop-down menu to see different eps) at:

http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/bloo...od-price-part-1

Blood Ties voters are now joining ranks with us, extending their Top 40 votes to the shows in our family of friends. While it may take a while for the results to show in the daily totals, Blood Ties got a total of 511 votes, yesterday, so, the potentials of their generosity are substantial. Please return their gesture with at least some of your Nominations votes, as well, and, please, view their episodes, free, online at the link above. The more folks who view their show, the likelier that Lifetime will pick it back up, again.

Once you've seen a few episodes, you might also play the online game:

http://www.mylifetime.com/fun-games/games/puzzle/blood-ties

This is another way Lifetime is gauging interest in the show, which, in your faithful Tallymister's opinion, is pretty gorram good! And, if you would like to find out more about the show, as well as efforts to save it, you can look at:

http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/saveblood...yguid=322589985

Once again, welcome to the Blood Ties fans!

Banner, Barnabas is sending Willie out to get dinner. rolleyes.gif

I also wanted to say, please continue to support Firefly and BSG, they have been very
helpful in getting us where we are at.

That's true, but, please also remember that Buffy and Angel voters also support Dark Shadows, as well. Unfortunately, they just don't have a forum, here on Skiffy, so, the contact is less direct, but, they are out there and doing their part, too.

And, three Blood Ties Nominations voters have already pledged us their help, so, I think we should return them the favor, as we can expect that more will do so without mentioning it.

It's gonna be a great year to be a voting vampire!

Yes have been voting for the Vampire shows. Fangdom. I have been switching back and forth
Moonlight and Blood Ties. Like to see them both get into the Top 40. I have a pattern when it
comes to check boxes.

Anyone else getting a strange message that says "filtering error" when they try to vote? I've gotten it when I tried to use both safari and IE. It was fine earlier today.

No, sure haven't. Sorry you're having difficulties. No reports of problems on the Google group, either. Have you refreshed your browser, germanlearner? I hope that helps. Also, have you tried each of the three voting portals?

Good morning, Dark Shadows fans!

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 getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. I recommend bookmarking them all, for rapid transition, if you have trouble voting.

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. You can only nominate one show per hour.

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

#34 show:
Total votes Queer as Folk 82,447 (82,369)

Yesterday, QAF fans voted 78 times (72), 6 more than the previous day, 8.33%.

#35 show:
Total votes Dark Shadows (1966) 80,651 (80,223)

Yesterday, Dark Shadows fans voted 428 times (429), 1 fewer than the previous day, .23%.

QAF is 1,796 (2,146) votes ahead of us. It will take us 5.13 (6.01) days to catch them, based on current voting levels (yesterday, our lead over them was 350 (357)/day).

65 consecutive days at 300+ daily votes, 2 at 400+. We still need to top our record of 524 votes in a day!

We'll get our next banner, for 85,000 votes, in about 4,349 (4,777) votes, and, 10.16 (11.14) days!

A deep and sincere thank you very much to everyone who is voting for Dark Shadows, including those who are just answering the call! With your help, we got Dark Shadows up into the Top 40, where it can get the attention it deserves, as a well-loved classic TV show!

-Raycheetah =^[.]^=

In other TV Vote news (shows whose voters also support Dark Shadows):

Yesterday, Firefly got 1,019 votes (1,025), and, is 98,667 (98,102) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #26 show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 98,373. Your help makes that possible! Thanks!

#5 show Battlestar Galactica got 494 (507) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to overtake #4 show, Gunsmoke, which got 415 (392) votes, yesterday, in 519.82 (357.8) days, or, 1.42 (.98) years. BSG is also in pursuit of the 5th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 35,613 (36,125) votes, and, 72.13 (71.25) days, away!

BSG could use some help, folks, if they are to make any headway against the westerns in the Top 5, and, they have extended us their voting support, as well, and, were instrumental in getting Dark Shadows into the Top 40.

#7 show Buffy got 550 (570) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 343 (360) votes, yesterday, in 111.2 (110.6) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 62,758 (63,308) votes, and, 114.11 (111.07) days, away, while Farscape is only 115.86 (111.34) days from getting there, first.

#11 show Angel got 459 (484) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to pass #10 show La Femme Nikita, which received 150 (173) votes, yesterday, in 18.55 (19.42) days. #12 show Little House on the Prairie got 369 (342) votes, and, is not currently receiving enough votes to pass Angel.

#43 show (#3 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 513 (511) votes, and, is on track to overtake #42 show The Professionals, which got 155 (135) votes, in 16.99 (17.13) days.

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

P.S.: For those who are interested in Moonlight in the Nominations Poll:

Total votes Moonlight 12,777 (12,520)

Moonlight got 257 (272) votes, yesterday, not passing any shows. It will take about another day to pass The West Wing.

AND...

Let's all extend a friendly, Collinwood welcome to the Nominations voters of Blood Ties! Blood Ties is a current vampire program, whose fandom is struggling, after only 22 episodes, to get their show renewed (sound familiar?). Judge for yourself how good it is by viewing it for free online (use the "Select an episode" drop-down menu to see different eps) at:

http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/bloo...od-price-part-1

Blood Ties voters are now joining ranks with us, extending their Top 40 votes to the shows in our family of friends. While it may take a while for the results to show in the daily totals, Blood Ties got a total of 513 votes, yesterday, so, the potentials of their generosity are substantial. Please return their gesture with at least some of your Nominations votes, as well, and, please, view their episodes, free, online at the link above. The more folks who view their show, the likelier that Lifetime will pick it back up, again.

Once you've seen a few episodes, you might also play the online game:

This is another way Lifetime is gauging interest in the show, which, in your faithful Tallymister's opinion, is pretty gorram good! And, if you would like to find out more about the show, as well as efforts to save it, you can look at:

Once again, welcome to the Blood Ties fans!

Hello Dark Shadows Fans!

I just voted for you (and a couple of others -- Angel, Firefly, etc) for the second time today, after I nominated Blood Ties again. I didn't know until today that you could do both! Sorry!

Anyway, Now I get to vote for my very FIRST Vampire crush -- Barnabus, AND my current crush, Henry. And thanks to all of you who have voted for Blood Ties, and who've tried out an episode or two, either on Lifetime or iTunes.

I finally saw all the Blood Ties episodes on Lifetime.com and they were very good. I'm a new fan along with Moonlight, Angel, Buffy, AND especially Dark Shadows!! Welcome aboard. I'm using a new handle since the originally and preferred handle, dsbarnabasfan, is unavailable to me right now.

Welcome, again, 50Strander! Thanks for your support. It is with the help of friendly voting fandoms that, not only can we advance our favorite shows, but, also, share them with other fandoms, as well, and, mebbe come away with some new favorites of our own. I've been enjoying Blood Ties a great deal; watching the episodes in order, I'm finally past the ones I had seen, and, am moving on to unexplored territory. I'm only sorry I have only 7 more episodes to watch. Lifetime or somebody needs to greenlight more!

Sorry about your troubles, Jackie; I got this handle to work again, even if it's not my own. Thank you so very much for posting the banner!

Good morning, Dark Shadows fans!

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 getting into the site in heavy traffic you can try an alternate address instead. I recommend bookmarking them all, for rapid transition, if you have trouble voting.

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. You can only nominate one show per hour.

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

#34 show:
Total votes Queer as Folk 82,500 (82,447)

Yesterday, QAF fans voted 53 times (78), 25 less than the previous day.

#35 show:
Total votes Dark Shadows (1966) 81,061 (80,651)

Yesterday, Dark Shadows fans voted 414 times (428), 14 fewer than the previous day.

QAF is 1,435 (1,796) votes ahead of us. It will take us 3.98 (5.13) days to catch them, based on current voting levels (yesterday, our lead over them was 361 (350)/day).

66 consecutive days at 300+ daily votes, 3 at 400+. We still need to top our record of 524 votes in a day!

We'll get our next banner, for 85,000 votes, in about 3,935 (4,349) votes, and, 9.5 (10.16) days!

A deep and sincere thank you very much to everyone who is voting for Dark Shadows, including those who are just answering the call! With your help, we got Dark Shadows up into the Top 40, where it can get the attention it deserves, as a well-loved classic TV show!

-Raycheetah =^[.]^=

In other TV Vote news (shows whose voters also support Dark Shadows):

Yesterday, Firefly got 983 votes (1,019), and, is 99,207 (98,667) votes ahead of Xena, more than the vote total of #26 show CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 98,572. Your help makes that possible! Thanks!

#5 show Battlestar Galactica got 492 (494) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to overtake #4 show, Gunsmoke, which got 381 (415) votes, yesterday, in 368.98 (519.82) days, or, 1.01 (1.42) years. BSG is also in pursuit of the 5th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 35,139 (35,613) votes, and, 71.42 (72.13) days, away!

BSG could use some help, folks, if they are to make any headway against the westerns in the Top 5, and, they have extended us their voting support, as well, and, were instrumental in getting Dark Shadows into the Top 40.

#7 show Buffy got 525 (550) votes, yesterday. Currently, Buffy is receiving enough votes to pass #6 show Farscape, which received 343 (343) votes, yesterday, in 125.47 (111.2) days. Buffy is also in pursuit of the 6th Hall of Fame slot, and, is 62,233 (62,758) votes, and, 118.54 (114.11) days, away, while Farscape is only 114.86 (115.86) days from getting there, first.

#11 show Angel got 454 (459) votes, and, is currently receiving enough votes to pass #10 show La Femme Nikita, which received 181 (150) votes, yesterday, in 20 (18.55) days. #12 show Little House on the Prairie got 349 (369) votes, and, is not currently receiving enough votes to pass Angel.

#43 show (#3 in the Nominations Poll) Blood Ties got 552 (513) votes, and, is on track to overtake #42 show The Professionals, which got 156 (155) votes, in 14.36 (16.99) days.

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

P.S.: For those who are interested in Moonlight in the Nominations Poll:
Total votes Moonlight 13,042 (12,777)

Moonlight got 265 (257) votes, yesterday, passing The West Wing 12,851.
