I'm confused. It says most popular shows of all time, but most of these shows are sci-fi channel shows. Somehow I can't beleive that Xena and Hercules beat out MASH or I Love Lucy or that Bleak House (which I loved, by the way) would beat out Roots.

You can multiple vote each hour. The list actually represents how often people in a fan base will keep pushing the button. If Locke was real, he'd be winnin'.

Definitely not a scientific poll, but I find it really interesting that "Gunsmoke" is coming in as the sixth highest of all time, not that it wasn't a great show, because it was, but just how much of an Internet fanbase does "Gunsmoke" have?

I think all it proves is that all tv shows have a ~~lunatic~~ dedicated fanbase who are willing to vote as many times as they can. God knows we've seen enough of this in the Whedonverse fandom.

I would so love to see a MORI/Gallup/Nielsen type poll that examines fandoms. Might just be more slightly accurate than TV_Vote.

I also voted for Firefly, which I admit I am watching for the first time. I bought the series for the long holiday weekend and I am halfway through it. It is awesome. Now I can be depressed like everyone else that it only lasted 1 season whereas before I didn't care, gee thanks for that. I also nominated Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Gotta love Bruce Campbell.

luvspike, I'm so jealous of you.

I voted for Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Alias, and X-Files.

Funny, I remember how so many people envied me a few years ago because I was buying the Firefly DVD set having never seen any of the episodes...

I am also tremendously envious. Maybe we need the Haitian from Heroes?

Scrubs needs to be on that list. I'm lovin' me some Dr. Cox.
