On the previous day we saw The Mentalist and Gilmore Girls score victories over Nikita and The OC and move into a third round battle against one another. The Mentalist has now defeated Chuck and Nikita, and continues to impress and surprise with its strong performances. It now stands a real chance of making the final eight.
Today we have the Golden Globe winning Homeland taking on the ratings behemoth of NCIS in a battle that will be tough for both parties. We also have Prison Break and Arrested Development calling for their very different fan bases to get them the support they need to face a stern test against one of the current shows also competing today.

The first one was easy, Homeland by a mile. A much higher quality of show.
ReplyDeleteThe second was tougher but Arrested Development was consistently top quality, whilst Prison Break was half brilliant and half poor. So Arrested Development gets the vote!
Homeland and Prison Break for me.
ReplyDeleteIn the first poll I voted Homeland. I never seen Prison break or arrested development.
ReplyDeleteEasy first one, NCIS without even thinking about it. I do think that Homeland will knockout BOTH NCIS shows, when Homeland looks absolutely awful, and even if it wasn't, BOTH NCIS's are still better.
ReplyDeleteNever seen either of the second two, but I hear Prison Break is pretty good, so I'll go for that.
Still can't believe that Homeland is so popular, don't like the look of it.
Easy one, NCIS!
ReplyDeleteBut since Breaking Bad can't win the competition it's like something is missing...
Same votes as me
ReplyDelete..I think two tough one series with a strong fan base but my favorite is ..NCIS and the second poll easy prison break
ReplyDeletePrison Break v Arrested Develeopment
ReplyDeleteI thought everyone was gonna vote for Arrested Development... I liked both shows and thought someone should vote for PB, and voted for it only to see... PB has 80% of the votes! :O
NCIS!
ReplyDeleteNCIS, have never seen Homeland, and Prison Break.
ReplyDeleteIs this poll going to be over by Oct? Going way to slow for me to really get into it. Don't remember it being like this last year. Maybe I am just bored from lack of new eps of SPN.
All polls are open for voting for 24hrs.
ReplyDeleteHomeland for me as well. It had to be one of the most smart written and best new dramatic series. Haven't seen the other 3 shows.
ReplyDelete"It's Arrested Development."
ReplyDelete:D
Easy, easy today.
ReplyDeleteHomeland for half of Season 1 was some of the best TV of the year. Even if it got cliched and went downhill in the second half of the season it was still leaps and bounds beyond what NCIS is.
Arrested Development. No more need be said.
NCIS and Prison Break for me!
ReplyDeleteArrested Development (easily) and NCIS (reluctantly).
ReplyDeleteI voted for NCIS over Homeland because while the first season of Homeland was fantastic it's only one season. NCIS has almost a decade of shows under its belt and has been a phenomenal success. If Homeland can maintain its quality for 2 or 3 more seasons, I'd have no problem voting for it over NCIS.
Same reason why I voted for NCIS.
ReplyDeleteHomeland - easy vote, PB was only good for a season for me, AD was great for 3... AD in an easy one as well
ReplyDeleteHomeland and Prison Break for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe Homeland NCIS round is the hardest so far for me...but i have to go with NCIS
ReplyDeleteWell said. Ditto here.
ReplyDeleteNCIS and Arrested Development.
ReplyDeleteCan someone explain to me the appeal of NCIS? I am not trying to criticize the show, I am trying to understand... I watched about 4 or 5 episodes last season and I don't get it :(
ReplyDeleteI would've voted NCIS for the same reason, but poll is closed! :P
ReplyDeletemy two favorites win.YEEEEEEES..!!!!
ReplyDeleteBasically, it's brilliant. It has the drama you'd expect in a crime drama, and it's funny. I thought what you thought, but I watched one episode (S0507; Requiem), and I enjoyed it. I'm now right into it, seen all of S8 and S9. Try watching that one, because I think it is a really good episode.
ReplyDeleteGlad for NCIS, thought that Homeland might beat one of my favourite shows, so I'm happy. I do see NCIS having a struggle against Prison Break, people really like that.
ReplyDeleteWill watch that episode... The episodes I watched were the last 5 episodes of some season, all the episodes were basically about one case...
ReplyDeleteYeah, and I think if you were already an NCIS fan you'd have enjoyed the storyline. That episode definately got me into it, certaintly enjoyable.
