Today's User Submitted Daily (USD) Poll was submitted by Graydon who was picked randomly from our Poll Submissions (see below).

Rules
- Polls need to be TV/Movie related.
- You must supply a Poll Question, and the possible choices. Please try to keep the number of options to a reasonable amount (Max of 20 Items)
- You can only Submit 1 Poll Per Day. Previous polls submitted will still be eligible for posting (ie you don't need to keep submitting the same poll everyday)
Each day we will pick one submitted poll at random to post on the site.
Hmmm, is that Mitchell Hurwitz, Arrested Development's creator? If so... Then from the choices on this list ... . Bryan Fuller and Mitchell Hurwitz.
I would add David Lynch (Twin Peaks) , David Simon (The Wire), Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars, Party Down), and to a lesser degree Bill Lawrence (Spin City, Scrubs, Cougar Town) since while those shows have rabid fans, I'm not sure they have a cult following exactly...
Creator: can not pick just one, Whedon, Abrams, Kripke anyone will get me to try their series. Director: David Nutter for consistency. Writer: Whedon, Kripke
As much as I love Dan Harmon and Joss Wheadon I have to go with Bryan Fuller: Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Hannibal, even Mocking Bird Lane, how is this guy not leading the poll?
I had to go with Adam Fuller for Quality. Steven Moffat won an honorary second spot because it's only Sherlock I've watched but that alone is far better than most for me. For quantity I guess JJ Abrams takes the gold with a lot of good shows.
Having to pick just one hurt...because I jump whenever I see JJ Abrams or Joss Whedon's name on something, and I find Dan Harmon an interesting person whose work I'll start following because of Community - when the season without a show runner feels sub-par and then feels fresh again with that show runner's return, the show runner is something special.
It's really hard to choose one. Whedon, Fuller, Harmon and Moffat are fantastic writers, and I'd also like to add Rob Thomas and Josh Schwartz to the list.
ah ok, thanks for the clarification I was a little concerned, I do understand some people enjoy DM but I'd never go as far as congratulating the creators.
I personally think DM is very cleaver, there are definitely lots of issues but it's proven to be a ratings success, ABC really missed out by passing on it
Eric Kripke for me for creating a series that I just have to watch religiously since I was pulled into that universe ever since the pilot episode in 2005. And then maybe Ben Edlund after him(and I still want to see Edlund create his own show and run it).
The poll is fair if you have any doubt about the subject.. Spoiler TV is known to have an efficient system of control that doesn't allow people to vote more than once.
You may not known Bryan Fuller but is nonetheless a famous showrunner who created short lived shows (unfortunetaly) that however managed to gather strong fanbases: Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies and Dead like me are considered cult shows nowadays.
He's currently producing and writing Hannibal, a new adaptation of Thomas Harris books, which is considered by the critics and lot of professionals to be the best show on TV. And once again, the fanbase is very strong: the word has spreaded very quickly on tumblr that Bryan was included in this poll, and fannibals being very responsive as usually, came to vote to show him our gratefulness for his very nice and kind words to us, and all the time he takes to answer as many tweets as he can, and all the goodies he shares with us: pics, contest, gifts....
So, it's just the power of this fandom, not some tricks, that makes him win.
I think you misinterpreter my comment which was to express surprise at myself for never hearing of someone that everyone apparently knew. Rehabber posted the link to his IMDB profile and I read up. That was it. My comment had nothing to do with questioning the validity of the polling process on the site.
Joss Whedon or Bryan Fuller. Both for their talent and attitudes. Used to like Moffat's stuff but came to my senses and saw the hard truth after Sherlock S3 :(
I think that ratings don't mean a show it's good, they only meand that a lot of people enjoy it and that's ok, everybody has their guilty pleasures but that does not make it quality TV let alone a cult show.
If it was surprise at yourself and not at the poll, then why was the "winning" necessary? It is very easy to see why Titania1000 took your comment the way he/she did with the way your comment was worded.
I really am sorry about the confusion. I quoted "winning" because I didn't know if that word was really the appropriate word; I didn't mean it in a snarky way. But I understand now how what I thought was an innocuous remark could have come off differently. Sorry.
Lol. I'm sorry too, I should have just stayed out of it. After the time and care Titania1000 put into her response I just wanted to show support that her understanding of the post wasn't completely off base.
Don't feel bad, I did not know who he was either, have not cared for any of his series, and I did not take it that you were complaining about how the poll was run. That is why I sent you the link, I had to look him up also.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Pushing Daisies and Buffy the Vampire Slayer!!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, this is hard. I went with Joss Whedon for quantity (all of the listed choices have quality). Great poll!
ReplyDeleteMarc Cherry!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, is that Mitchell Hurwitz, Arrested Development's creator?
ReplyDeleteIf so...
Then from the choices on this list ... . Bryan Fuller and Mitchell Hurwitz.
I would add David Lynch (Twin Peaks) , David Simon (The Wire), Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars, Party Down), and to a lesser degree Bill Lawrence (Spin City, Scrubs, Cougar Town) since while those shows have rabid fans, I'm not sure they have a cult following exactly...

ReplyDeleteHim? XD
Creator: can not pick just one, Whedon, Abrams, Kripke anyone will get me to try their series.
ReplyDeleteDirector: David Nutter for consistency.
Writer: Whedon, Kripke
Where the hell are Marc Cherry and Shonda Rhimes ?
ReplyDeleteother
ReplyDeleteBryan Fuller and Hurwitz.
ReplyDeleteHow is JJ Abrams cult?
yup! ;-)
ReplyDeleteJoss Whedon from this list... My favourite TV show writer/creator who is not on the list is David Simon (The Wire,Treme,Generation Kill).
ReplyDeleteLost, Fringe, Alias, and many more
ReplyDeleteJ.J. Abrams!
ReplyDeleteOn the list, Whedon. Other, David Greenwalt. Does Vince Gilligan count?
ReplyDeleteanother names are : Chris Carter ( the x - Files), Amy Sherman Palladino ( Gilmore Girls), Dick Wolf ( Law and order , miami vice).
ReplyDeleteJ. J. Abrams and other, David Lynch.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Whedon, but Fuller was a close second. That guy is on fire!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Dan Harmon and Joss Wheadon I have to go with Bryan Fuller: Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Hannibal, even Mocking Bird Lane, how is this guy not leading the poll?
ReplyDeleteI had to go with Adam Fuller for Quality.
ReplyDeleteSteven Moffat won an honorary second spot because it's only Sherlock I've watched but that alone is far better than most for me.
For quantity I guess JJ Abrams takes the gold with a lot of good shows.
seriously? The creator of Devious Maids?
ReplyDeleteDavid Lynch, Rob Thomas, Cris Carter... Now if I had to choose a name on this list I'd pick JJ Abrams because of Lost, Fringe, Alias...
ReplyDeleteBryan Fuller and Shonda Rhymes for me
ReplyDeleteThis Poll Pinned Me Against My Favourites Joss Whedon And JJ Abrams, So I Choose Both.
ReplyDeleteHaving to pick just one hurt...because I jump whenever I see JJ Abrams or Joss Whedon's name on something, and I find Dan Harmon an interesting person whose work I'll start following because of Community - when the season without a show runner feels sub-par and then feels fresh again with that show runner's return, the show runner is something special.
ReplyDeleteWhedon and Fuller for me, I wouldn't count JJ in this list because he doesn't have a lot to do with the shows he creates after the first season or so.
ReplyDeleteRob Thomas.
ReplyDeleteJJ Abrams, no doubt
ReplyDeleteKurt Sutter is a genius, a name that mustn't be forgotten IMO.
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to choose one. Whedon, Fuller, Harmon and Moffat are fantastic writers, and I'd also like to add Rob Thomas and Josh Schwartz to the list.
ReplyDeleteAdam Horowitz and Eddy Kitzis
ReplyDeleteJoss/JJ/Bryan don't make me chooooose....
ReplyDeleteah ok, thanks for the clarification I was a little concerned, I do understand some people enjoy DM but I'd never go as far as congratulating the creators.
ReplyDeleteBryan Fuller hands down! JJ Abrams, Marc Cherry, Rob Thomas, Shonda Rhimes, David E. Kelly, and Aaron Sorkin come second.
ReplyDeleteI personally think DM is very cleaver, there are definitely lots of issues but it's proven to be a ratings success, ABC really missed out by passing on it
ReplyDeleteJ. Whedon, B. Fuller, M. Gatiss, C. Carter, V. Gilligan, D. Lynch.
ReplyDeleteBryan Fuller without hesitation!
ReplyDeleteGood idea but the poll is seriously lacking ladies....
Eric Kripke for me for creating a series that I just have to watch religiously since I was pulled into that universe ever since the pilot episode in 2005. And then maybe Ben Edlund after him(and I still want to see Edlund create his own show and run it).
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love to see what Edlund could do.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who Bryan Fuller is...and yet he's "winning" the poll. Interesting. I chose Joss Whedon. My second would be JJ Abrams.

ReplyDeleteBryan Fuller definitely. Used to love Doctor Who but it's not as engaging as Pushing Daisies / Hannibal. Sorry Moff!
ReplyDeleteMy bad! Sorry for the confusion!

ReplyDeletewhere is Eric Kripke?
ReplyDeleteLol. I'm sorry too, I should have just stayed out of it. After the time and care Titania1000 put into her response I just wanted to show support that her understanding of the post wasn't completely off base.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rob Thomas! Party Down is amazing.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, I did not know who he was either, have not cared for any of his series, and I did not take it that you were complaining about how the poll was run. That is why I sent you the link, I had to look him up also.
ReplyDeleteDon't be sorry! Now I know who Bryan Fuller is...and I won't forget. :)
ReplyDeleteKay Bay, one of the reasons why I love this site is because of the passionate comments. No harm, no foul.
