Hey Folks,
Yesterday was a more quiet day in the office as both polls failed to set the world alight in terms of the number of votes, yet they also were quite close battles which kept things interesting. In the end Homeland saw off NCIS: LA and deservedly progresses through to likely a much tougher round two opponent against The Walking Dead or NCIS. Also Prison Break was never really challenged by Dollhouse, and we are down to three Joss Whedon shows left in the competition.
Today sees two more current and two more finished shows doing battle for a place in the next round.
Firstly we have zombie drama and smash hit The Walking Dead, which has grown in popularity in the gap between season one and two, challenging one of the biggest ratings powerhouses of todays television; NCIS. It'll be an interesting battle between one of network televisions biggest and one of cables.
Secondly we have the ever popular and soon to return Arrested Development trying to become the first all out sitcom to make it into round two. In its way is another show which was cancelled early in its run, a show that divides opinion more than any; Flashforward. With sci-fi so popular on STV I feel Arrested Development has its work cut out today.
If you want to see the draw for the rest of the competition, and see which show will take on which other show then head HERE for a look. Let the voting begin!
