Fringe & The X-Files for me... Sci Fi all the way...
ReplyDeleteFringe & Charmed. Charmed is just a classic. I love The X-Files but to me Charmed all the way.
ReplyDeleteCastle in the first poll, never watched either from the second poll.
ReplyDeleteFringe & The X-Files.
ReplyDeleteFringe and The X-Files for me, Never seen Castle or Charmed, so they were pretty easy choices today.
ReplyDeleteSame here ;)
ReplyDeleteHas to be Fringe and the classic X-Files
ReplyDeleteCastle and Charmed
ReplyDeleteCastle & X-Files
ReplyDeleteFringe and Charmed for me (I was a bit scared to watch the X-Files when it aired, so I've only watched the movies, a few random episodes, and a the last three seasons- I´ll probably watch all of it one day)
ReplyDeleteFringe and The X-Files.
ReplyDeleteI'm already crying knowing this is it for FRINGE. :(
How the hell is Castle better than Fringe? Oh well, as long as The X-Files wins.
ReplyDeleteEasy, never saw Fringe, huge Castle fan, only saw a few Chamed episodes, so Castle and X-Files it is!:)
ReplyDeleteThis competition is nothing to do with which show is best. It's the "Favourite" Show competition
ReplyDeleteNever seen Fringe or X-Files, so I voted for Castle and Charmed
ReplyDeleteCharmed that is all!
ReplyDeleteVery easy choices today even if i've watched all four shows... Fringe and The X-Files.
ReplyDeleteCastle and The X-Files. I have a bad feeling, that it'll be a battle between these shows, in the next round. But let's see about that.
ReplyDeleteFRINGE & Charmed!
ReplyDeleteI have no input anymore - all of my shows are out. I think Supernatural will win the whole thing in a final against Castle.
ReplyDeleteCastle and The X-Files.
ReplyDeleteFringe and X-Files. Sorry Charmed.
ReplyDeleteyou really should watch the first few seasons of X-Files, so much better than the latter end of the series and the movies, well, I've never felt the need to re-watch them, once was ENOUGH.
ReplyDeletecastle and charmed for me.
ReplyDeleteI like castle but fringe all the way in the first one. I have never seen charmed and I have watched some x-files episodes, so x-files for me but i dont really care.
ReplyDeleteWell, when you put it like that...
ReplyDeleteVoted for Fringe but no way is it going to win with the extreme popularity of Castle on this site.
ReplyDeleteFringe & The X-Files. Sucks that Fringe is up against Castle because it Castle has the weirdestly disproportional fanbase but whatevs, it also makes me hurt to choose TXF over Charmed because I do love Charmed, but it has to be the sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteFringe and Charmed
ReplyDeleteJust Fringe for me!
ReplyDeletefirst few episodes of Fringe were pretty good when I watched it, but I lost interest in it. I've been watching Castle for over 5 years. Everyone likes different stuff, that makes life interesting.
ReplyDeleteFringe & Charmed.
ReplyDeleteI love the X-Files and know its importance to serialized television but Charmed was the show I could watch over and over again as a kid. Fringe is practically the successor of the X-Files, borrowing some themes and character dynamics, but it was also its own beast with a bevy of talent that ran against all expectations given storyline and ratings difficulties.
Castle and Charmed. Love these shows dearly :)
ReplyDeleteNooo! I can't choose between Castle and Fringe :-((
ReplyDeleteI'd be shocked to see Fringe losing to Castle, but then this isn't about the quality of the show. It's more like a battle of the fanbase.
ReplyDeleteFringe & Charmed for me
ReplyDeleteFringe.
ReplyDeleteFringe and The X-Files!!!
ReplyDeleteJust X-Files today
ReplyDeleteHmm, the way I see it is: "People either like Castle or they have never seen it", to quote Marlowe. I never heard of a person who wasn't hooked on Castle from the first episode. I'm not saying there isn't any, but it's hard to find one. It's a really good show, one of the best ever, so I'm not surprised of its popularity on this site or anywhere else. I loved Fringe as well, but it was just ok for me (I didn't run home from work to catch an episode), unlike Castle, where I could barely wait for the next episode.
ReplyDeleteObviously, I voted for Castle and the second poll is The X-Files, because its the greatest show ever. :)
me too! :-)
ReplyDeleteHmm,'loved Fringe,but it was just ok for me (I didn't run home from work to catch an episode).
ReplyDeleteI'm confused? :) No need to answer! ;)
Good to see you here again!
ReplyDeleteI know this is about favorites, but COME ON. I can't believe Castle is that popular! I just could never get into it. X-Files and Fringe for me.
ReplyDeleteI happen to think that Castle's "quality" is better than Fringe's. I'll be shocked if Fringe gets even half of Castle's votes.
ReplyDeleteVoted Fringe & Charmed...which are both loosing
ReplyDeleteCastle is obviously the popular show here. Fringe is obviously the better one. No confusion here
ReplyDeleteNoooo i love CASTLE but i can not vote against FRINGE ..ahhhh
ReplyDeleteWell, I am one of those "rare" people, I guess. Still on season 2, for a very long time. It's a good show, but I wasn't hooked up from the first episode and still not. It took me 5 days to go through 3 seasons of Fringe on the other hand. So no needs to generalize here.
ReplyDeleteFringe and X-files for me today. But I am pretty sure Castle will win in the finals.
Fringe and The X-Files, o question here.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so tho :D just my opinion
ReplyDeletewell if Fringe was better it would be popular, don't ya think?
ReplyDeleteFringe of course no question.
ReplyDeleteWow, having to choose between Castle and Fringe is just cruel! *sigh* Sorry Fringe, but I gotta go with Castle on this one. Forgive me Anna.
ReplyDeleteFringe and Charmed :P
ReplyDeleteFringe and the X-Files for me!
ReplyDeleteNo, I am betting on Castle. And I am a SPN fan. But our fandom is much smaller now. Castle fans will take a crown.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural to win by 37 votes.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean by that...
ReplyDeleteKnew from the beginning that Fringe would lose once I saw that it was matched up against Castle... Poor Fringe, I miss you
ReplyDeleteLoL. Sarcastic, but funny.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that ave to say a few words in the name of the whole fandom, once and for all, because people start to piss me off whenever Castle is winning here, same speech all over again... Castle has a huge fanbase, don't you ever think it's because of its quality? You can go to other sites if you want to, whenever Castle is on a poll, it wins... It has a huge fanbase all over the world. It's a wonderful show, and I'm sure millions of fans would agree with this statement. I'm not telling that other shows are bad, not at all, I'm watching most of them, but if they had a bigger fanbase, they would have win. So try to understand, and please stop with your same comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd to quote Marlowe, 'People either like Castle, or they've never seen it'.
Hi Laura,how have you been doing? I was hoping Fringe would've been in a better position by now. I'm not giving up on a comeback though.
ReplyDeleteFRINGE is popular,very popular we just don't have as large fanbase like Castle. And if this was posted on Monday instead of a Saturday Fringe just might have beat it..People have things to do over the weekend..
ReplyDeleteI've seen it and I don't like it. But that's okay, it has a magic formula that many people seem to enjoy, and the writers stick to it. Good for them.
ReplyDeleteI like Castle a lot but I just had to choose Fringe, man I miss that show a lot.
ReplyDeleteAlso The X-Files. :)
FRINGE Is loosing :( GO Charmed
ReplyDeleteCastle and The X-Files, my two favorite shows.
ReplyDeleteCastle & Charmed. Although it still hurt like hell not voting for Fringe. D=
ReplyDeleteI'm wishing you the best luck in contacting people to vote for Fringe. Your right about this being held on the weekend. I didn't expect it till next week. That's one thing about Fringe,it never had an easy ride.
ReplyDeleteAs much as people love Fringe, and all the dedicated Fringie's on here, I wonder how the ratings managed to slip so much. I know a lot of people re-corded it on DVR and stuff, and all that. Some could argue it was the "Friday Night Death Slot" but the ratings were slipping before that..
ReplyDeleteFringe and X-Files today. This was an easy voting day for me although I have also watched the other two. Castle I dropped last year when it focused on shipping way too much, Charmed I basically watched as reruns on TNT between other shows.
ReplyDeleteVery true. The beginning years were the best and most focused of The X-Files.
ReplyDeleteFringe & X-Files :)
ReplyDeleteNot anymore. A couple of years ago, definitely.
ReplyDeleteI am another rare person because while I really enjoyed the first couple seasons of Castle, I have dropped it now. Far too much emphasis on the shipper fans for me.
ReplyDeleteAll online polls are about the fanbase more than the show, but "quality" is very subjective. That's why I am glad that Adam changed the name from "Best" Tv Show to "Favorite."
ReplyDeleteThat assumes that Castle fans don't have things to do over the weekend. Fringe would have a huge uphill battle against Castle in this competition no matter what day it was held on.
ReplyDeleteThat seems hugely egotistical of Marlowe and probably not the best quote to inspire new people to watch the show. Perhaps instead of lecturing you could tell all the reasons why you love Castle and why other people should try it. As for people being tired of Castle winning every poll, that happened on this site with Supernatural too. Don't worry. It will stop happening when Castle stops winning, which it will at some time because like everything else TV fandom is cylical.
ReplyDeleteCastle and The X-Files :)
ReplyDeleteOnline fandom never tells the true picture of all people watching for any TV show. I know people who dropped it when they brough in the parallel worlds. I almost dropped it when they erased Peter from everyone's memory and effectively killed the best thing the show had going for it, the father-son relationship with Walter. That's what kept me coming back. Sometimes shows make choices that turn off viewers; sometimes it's just age.
ReplyDeleteso true of most genre shows lately, tbh
ReplyDeletePopularity ≠ quality
ReplyDeleteI wasn't implying they didn't.The Castle fans come here everyday.But with Fringe,since it ended many people that were here have moved on,so trying to get Fringies together is a lot harder to do on weekends than during the week.And if i remember correctly didn't we have 2 days,not just 24 hours when it got to the quarter finals?
ReplyDeleteIt was only the finals that had 48 hours, not anything else.
ReplyDeleteBWAH! So sad it's come to this.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since it was filmed in VC,at night.What a great backdrop they had!...
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Duchovny insisting they move to LA put a crimp on my fascination with him to be honest. Not that I had any investment in Vancouver filming. It just seemed ludicrous that they would move locations for an actor.
ReplyDeleteFunny how i remember things differently.My mind is playing tricks on me!
ReplyDeleteAnd i thought the move was for Gillian! Even if it was the landscape change was the most dramatic for me,it change the whole feel of the stories.I'm not saying that was the start of their demise, it wasn't but without the darkness,the rain,and forest,it was like watching a different show at times.
ReplyDeleteCastle all the way!
ReplyDeleteQuality? Castle has the best psuedo realism than most procedurals. That is hard to do. It rarely resorts to any literary trickery. So it mostly tell the story up front and personal. That is quality.
ReplyDeleteI love X Files but Charmed is my favorite
ReplyDeleteWas wondering where you were?Must of had a busy day!
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to decide between Castle and Fringe....help.
ReplyDeleteOn the second one, I have to go with X-Files. I liked Charmed, but Rose McGowan always managed to annoy me.
I will always vote for Charmed they are my favorite show although X-File was good Charmed still better
ReplyDeleteFringe and X-Files for me... can't believe both are actually losing.
ReplyDeleteCharmed for me, since I have never watched any of the others.
ReplyDeleteI love Castle and I love Fringe, I can't choose :(
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time seeing a SpoilerTV Favorite Series Competition. Just curious, is it typical that 5 out of the 8 series in the Quarter Finals are cancelled shows?
ReplyDeleteCastle all the way. Fringe is the worst show ever.
ReplyDeleteTough choice between Charmed and X-Files.
I wish the outcome had been different in this,but you fought a good battle Laura. I don't have the network connections you have, but tried my best. I did manage to get my son on the phone. He watched the series online this summer,and thought it's great. Hope he voted although he was with his new girlfriend at the time. There's one thing about polls. They aren't always accurate. Fringe will still be number 1.
ReplyDeleteYa I've had one of those trying weeks again. I finally am catching up! I have some revolutions theories I posted on Lisa's great review!
ReplyDeleteOh good,when i get the chance later i'll check it out.Trying to get health care coverage is proving to be a monumental pain in the ass,causing the worst headache and eye strain.I'm here cause i just can't face spending another day ready to scream,ha! :P
ReplyDeleteFringe lost? Well now all of my shows are gone :'(
ReplyDeletehas to be Charmed for me, a huge fan of the show, wished it could come back onto the TV but i suppose now Zenescope has started making comics i can't see it happening... still waiting for the next lot of the comics that they have delayed, just wish we knew something lol
ReplyDelete15 years anniversary for Charmed can't be bad eh??
Haha, figurative speach... Means I was catching up the episode when I had time to watch, I didn't 'have to' watch it immediately after it airs. For Castle, on the other hand, I was making time to watch it as soon as possible. Clearer? ;)
ReplyDeleteLoL.i figured it was something like that! I thought it was cute,not trying give you a hard time! ;)
