EDIT: I've added a much clearer google doc, so you can see things more clearly!
Hey Folks,
I've spent a couple of hours putting together the overall positions of all the shows with have competed in the STV Favourite TV Series Competition since it began in 2010. It's quite interesting to see which shows have done well year in, year out and which shows haven't.
The image below (which you'll need to zoom in a bit on) shows the positions of every show from all three years of the competition. The lower the number, the better placed each show was that year. The positions are determined by the amount of votes the show got on its final round. For example is The West Wing was eliminated in Round One and had 201 votes in it's name, then Dexter was also eliminated in Round One with 209 votes, the Dexter would rank higher. However is The West Wing was eliminated in Round Two it automatically is placed above all shows in Round One and so even with 201 votes would be placed above Dexter.
The general breakdown of rounds is:
Positions 1-2 = Final
Positions 3-4 = Semi Finals
Positions 5-8 = Quarter Finals
Positions 9-16 = Round Three
Positions 17-32 = Round Two
Positions 33-64 = Round One
Also, shows which had not begun airing when the competition ran are given a "0" number to indicate they were unable to compete. Shows which were running but didn't make the competition are given a "65" number, the highest score possible and therefore also the worst.
The eight shows still running currently have no score for the 2012 competition, but I will add the positions 1-8 when appropriate.
Here is the table:
Any questions about how things were worked out then let me know in the comments below!

Adam
I've had a few "requests to share"... is it not available to view without me accepting them? Or do people just wish to see it up close and personal? :P
ReplyDeleteSupernatural and VD lol!
ReplyDeleteits once upon a time....
I can't see anything,i need permission from the owner,at least that what Goggle said......
ReplyDeleteIt should.... should... be viewable now! :) You see it?
ReplyDeleteIt says you have to give us permission in order for us to view it.
ReplyDeleteYep. I can see it now. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteNo worries... I found the pages from years gone by and thought it'd be interesting to see what did well and what didn't!
ReplyDeleteSorry Adam,yes i see it now,thank you!
ReplyDeleteRemember this one: http://www.spoilertv.com/2010/07/best-show-ever-semi-final-2-lost-vs.html
ReplyDeletedunno why it says 7 votes a side, as there was the 14,500 votes that day, but it was one of my highlights of the three years!
I can't see it either.
ReplyDeleteThat one was amazing. The biggest one-day battle of them all in my opinion, and quite honestly it should have been the finale. I remember spending nigh near the full 24 hours checking on the poll, rallying people to vote, and commenting. It was one of the most stressful yet fun days I've ever had as an adult on summer break. Your contest and especially this round is what got me into SpoilerTV. Thanks! It's been a great 3 year ride.
ReplyDeleteI fully admit that I can geek out on numbers so this is awesome. It's funny how many of the same shows are nominated every year but they have such different trajectories. Some go off the air and are never (or barely) in the contest again while others seem to grow in strength. It would be cool to study this in depth and find their commonalities. Also, it will be a great chart to look at if we end up doing the prediction chart next year.
ReplyDeleteWow,I thought Lost won one year! This is interesting,glad you posted this!
ReplyDeleteI think had the contest ran the year before LOST would have won. The first competition in 2010 was a few months after its finale and so things had already begun to quieten on the LOST front. Of the three we have ran it's best chance was in 2010 though, so I'm very happy/impressed it has made it to the final eight!
ReplyDeleteMmmh... Interesting, curious to know more. :D
ReplyDeleteCan't see it.
ReplyDelete"Don't forget to vote in todays poll between Supernatural and Vampire Diaries HERE"
ReplyDelete-- This links to Supernatural vs. Once Upon a Time, FYI. :)
Didn't a character from LOST win the first Character Competition? Maybe that's what you remember.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dahne. It really is interesting to look at what the stables are in the yearly nominations. Like West Wing, one of my all-time favourites, but despite making the cut every time it never lasts long.
ReplyDeleteI also found it interesting to look at the shows that have only had one invitation to the ball. I wonder if there is a pattern between the cancelled shows that get nominated in a given year and their similarity, in theme or style, to popular current shows.
whoops :P
ReplyDeleteIt shows on Mozilla and IE. Though if you wanted to do a framed poster.... :P
ReplyDeleteShows fine for me.
ReplyDeleteYeah... Jack won 2010 then Castiel won 2011
ReplyDeleteGo supernatural !! :DD
ReplyDeleteIt only shows how much Castle grew in popularity.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with your work but this kind of fail cause shows that wasn't running before got zero as score while others that were running and even if they were higher during polls round, if they get something like 10 they were lower on this sheet than the ones that weren't even running.... Oh well Idk if you got what I mean...
ReplyDeleteSupernatural has won every single time? is that show good?
ReplyDeletethis must be a mistake... lost got 10th.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way to give the new shows a score that places it correctly, unless yous tart dividing it by the years it's ran.
ReplyDeleteHowever its just a simple table showing the placings of the shows and which have done consistently well. It will always favour the new shows if you're viewing it the way you are, but in general you can see past that and look at it as a generally interesting table!
i don't get it
ReplyDeleteYes, it is.
ReplyDelete...ME TOO i dont understand
