The STV Favourite TV Series Competition 2014 - It Begins Today - Submit Your Entries For The Competition!
Sep 4, 2014
2014 TV Series Competition BA SpoilerTV ArticleFor four years, SpoilerTV has searched for the fans' favourite television series. In 2010, the fans chose Supernatural. In 2011, the CW show retained its crown. 2012 saw Castle steal the trophy, and 2013 resulted in Supernatural claiming the award for the third time.
Now, in 2014, it's time to begin our search for the new winner. Will it be the Winchester brothers to reign supreme? Is it written for Richard Castle to win again? Or will a new winner emerge?
Time will tell.
But we need your help.
Out of the thousands of TV series there are, old and new, great or poor, we need just 64.
You can vote for your favourite two current TV series, and your favourite two finished TV series. The top 32 current TV series and the top 32 finished TV series will make the final 64.
You have until September 4th to enter your submissions in the form below.
Remember, a current TV series is any show that has aired/will air new episodes after 1st June 2014. A finished TV series is any show that had aired its final episode by 1st June 2014. Therefore a show like Breaking Bad would now be a finished TV series, whilst Game of Thrones would be classed as current. If you have any queries as to whether a show would be classed as current or finished, email me at bradley@spoilertv.com.
Note: Heroes counts as a current show.
I've had a few people ask me, and 24 counts as a current show, as it has aired episodes after 1st June 2014. Please read above the classifications on what a current or finished show is.
Many of you might be wondering where Adam is. Unfortunately, he's a little tied up with real life (who'd have thought it - someone at SpoilerTV having a real life?) so I've stepped in to run the competition.
NOTE: Only 1 Submission per person. If you try to submit multiple times ALL your submissions will be removed. Also, we've had a few people try to submit current shows as a finished show. If you try this, your submission will be removed.
Don't forget to cast your votes, spread the word of the competition, and most of all, tell us who you voted for in the comments below.
This year is going to be bigger than ever.

I voted for:
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Person of Interest, 24
Finished: Breaking Bad, LOST
Arrow narrowly misses out on my current list; Nikita and Friends miss out on my finished list, unfortunately.
Yessssss! So excited for this.
ReplyDeleteWas super hard picking just two current shows.
My first will always be supernatural (even if I didn't love season 9, I still love the show). Second I went with Sherlock. There were dozens I could have picked but I just recently watched all of Sherlock and loved it.
For finished shows I went with the classic, LOST. And fringe. God I miss those two shows.
Can't wait for the comp to start!
Current: Arrow, Witches of East End
ReplyDeleteEnded: Smallville and Xena (which I think never makes the list :( )
I voted for
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Supernatural and Continuum (I am crazy with both of them)
Finished: Breaking Band and Lost (the reasons I switched from movies to tv series)
24 is technically a finished show. L.A.D. is over and it's now not a show that's certain to have another season, if their even will be one it has not been announced yet, until that announcement the show is finished for good.
ReplyDeleteVoted for
ReplyDeleteCurrent: The Walking Dead and American Horror Story

24 aired an episode (multiple, in fact) after 1st June 2014, which as stated by the rules, means it is a current show.

OUAT : not as good as it once was but I'm still pretty obsessed with it :p
Finished
Dark Angel and Legend of the Seeker : just 2 seasons for each but damn they were fabulous <3
Current: Game of Thrones and Scandal. They're shows with a mind blowing cast and excellent story writing/direction.

ReplyDeleteAwesome choices. I almost had either of those shows in my finished category as well.
ReplyDeleteCurrent : Banshee and Vikings, because I´m guessing you all have GoT covert. :-)
ReplyDeleteFinished LOST and Breaking Bad.
Ha! Thank you! My friends always think of me as such a nerd for liking those 2 shows (one that takes place in space, the other one about politics) but as I'm always trying to tell them, they are so much more than that...
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Dominion and Teen Wolf (The wonderful Person of Interest doesn't need my help to get on this list!)
ReplyDeleteEnded Shows: Fringe and Almost Human
Current: Defiance and Haven
ReplyDeleteFinished: Angel and Stargate Universe.
Current: Hannibal and Sons of Anarchy. Runner ups: Penny Dreadful and The 100.
ReplyDeleteFinished: Fringe (best show ever) and Lost.
Yep, they're both two different shows.
ReplyDeleteSo, what did you vote for in the end?
ReplyDeleteGiven that this site originated from a Lost fansite, I'd expect it to make it.
ReplyDeleteHa, no worries. I was actually wondering when we'd get it too - got an email from Andy earlier asking if I wanted to run it since Adam is too busy and here we are!
ReplyDeleteTried to give my votes to show, which don't necessarily will end up in the competition but I still thoroughly enjoyed. Since LOST & Fringe etc. should easily reach the needed number.
ReplyDeleteCurrent Shows: Defiance, Hannibal
Past Shows: Spartacus, Dollhouse
The Blacklist, that is a Show I still have to start watching. It is in the cue for some time.
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Person Of Interest and The Good Wife (both have great writing)
ReplyDeleteFinished: Fringe and Smallville
Current: Revenge, Scandal.
ReplyDeleteFinished: Smallville, Breaking Bad.
I still haven't found anything quite as good as The Wire. Only Lost and Breaking Bad are close for me.
ReplyDeleteYeeeeeeeeeeees! I love this competition!!!
ReplyDeleteVoted for:
Current: Game of Thrones and Sherlock
Finished: Lost and Breaking Bad
Current: Community and Game of Thrones
ReplyDeleteFinished: Breaking Bad and Lost
Sons of Anarchy, Justified and Arrow were all really close to being considered on the current list but I couldn't get rid of either of the two I picked.
It was really hard to choose current shows, because there are so many that I love! In the end I went with GoT and Revenge, but I really, reeeallly wanted to add The 100, Community and Parks and Recreation.
ReplyDeleteFor finished shows I chose Fringe (as my avatar may indicate) and Pushing Daisies; it was easier than choosing current shows
I picked Sons of Anarchy and Justified for current shows and Lost and Scrubs for finished shows. Those are my 2 favorite shows in both categories.
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Revenge, Agents of Shield
ReplyDeleteFinished: Lost, One Tree Hill
On a different level but i found it in Fringe after LOST ended its run. I find myself waiting again now that Fringe ended.... Don't give up it will come. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this competition, even though I could participate more when it was held earlier.
ReplyDeleteTeen Wolf / Sleepy Hollow
Leverage / Burn Notice
i vote for Xena too...it was the first show i watched weekly as a kid and love to this day well that and.Hercules the Legendary Journeys too..my first crush was his friend Iolaus....lol
ReplyDeleteCurrent: The Walking Dead and Arrow
ReplyDeleteFinished: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Shield
I want to put down 24......but it could either be current or finished...
ReplyDeleteCurrent. It aired an episode after 1st June 2014.
ReplyDeleteI heard they were coming out with season one of Spencer For Hire sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteReally? That's awesome. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Arrow/Scandal
ReplyDeleteFinished: Friends/Fringe

It was hard to choose but I went with:
ReplyDeleteCurrent:
The Leftovers
Sherlock
Finished:
Lie To Me
House
I was thinking of The 100 too, but chose smth that will have its last season and hope the 100 will be around longer.
ReplyDeleteI was just catching up with a friend I had not seen in years about shows we watch. To GoT we we grinned and said it's obviously the best. So we moved on to other shows.
ReplyDeleteI went with less obvious choices because I know all of my favorites will be well represented.
ReplyDeleteThe 100
Justified
Prison Break
Jericho
GoT and Orphan Black
ReplyDeleteCarnivale and (surprise) Farscape
Current: The Last Ship, The Walking Dead
ReplyDeleteFinished: Almost Human, Revolution
Current picks - The Killing, Arrow.
ReplyDeleteThis was a hard 1 for me. Arrow is 1 of my faves, but I know its an almost lock for the list, but couldn't decide which of the dozens of other shows I love to give the spot...so I just went with them.
Finished - Fringe, Psych
Wanted to pick Dead Like Me, but felt theres little chance enough votes are likely getting cast for a show 10 yrs removed.
Current: Person of Interest and Doctor Who (It was a struggle to chose between Sherlock and Doctor Who, but eh, Capaldi totally got me last week)
ReplyDeleteFinished: Fringe and X-Files. Friends almost made it, but I'm starting an X-Files rerun so... let's see how far it goes!
The Blacklist was the best new show of 2014.
ReplyDeleteCheers for running this Bradley!
ReplyDeleteI nominated The Musketeers, GoT, Breaking Bad and Firefly.
My vote:
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Teen Wolf, Grimm
Finished: Farscape, Firefly
I doubt they'll bring back the shows now that the movie trilogy reboot has been greenlit, but at least it's coming back.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural, of course.
ReplyDeletebones, major crimes
ReplyDeletefringe, battlestar galactica

ReplyDeleteOnce Upon a Time
Orange is the New Black (since I'm pretty sure that all the other shows I watch are already covered)
Finished:
Battlestar Gallactica (2004)
Band of Brothers
I hope there's not a problem with me nominating Band of Brothers.I mean,it's a miniseries,I hope that counts.I don't really expect it to make it anyway,but I just had to go with it.
Good taste!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI always thought so. ;)
ReplyDeleteOurs were almost identical except I nominated Person of Interest over Hannibal (I watch both) great choices!
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Teen Wolf and Outlander (Person of Interest would have been on the list but Outlander has just blown its way to the top of my favorite list.)
ReplyDeletePast: Buffy and Lost - I blanked. Buffy was the first to come to mind. Others might have made the list except that their ending tarnished their place for me. )
Two each, is really hard. I could pick ten each. :)
ReplyDeleteCurrent Favorites: The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Continuum, Person of Interest, Les Revenants.
Finished Favorites: Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Fringe, Terminator: TSCC.
So i picked: Lost, TWD, BSG, and GoT.
Current: GoT, The blacklist, Sleepy Hollow, Teen Wolf, OUAT, Justified, Penny Dreadful, Community...
ReplyDeleteFinished; Lost, Fringe, X-Files, Burn Notice, Breaking Bad, Life, Twin Peaks...
So I finally picked: GoT, The Blacklist, Lost and Fringe.
Finished: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Hannibal and Doctor Who
Current: The Blacklist & Supernatural
ReplyDeleteFinished: Firefly & Veronica Mars
2 of each is not much, I choose The Walking Dead and Supernatural for current and Fringe and Stargate SG-1 for finished. Though these choices are completely influenced by the fact that I just binge-watched the first 3 seasons of Stargate and two nights ago I started catching up on Walking Dead so I'm ready for the new season.
ReplyDeleteAs to Fringe, it's nostalgia for good sci-fi which is sadly lacking these days.
It's not really paramount, but I was wondering: would Heroes be considered a current or a finished show?
Lost almost made my list, it was really one of a kind.
ReplyDeleteI miss Charmed, I tried Witches of East End but it just doesn't compare.
ReplyDeleteCurrent favorites: Arrow, Once Upon A Time.
ReplyDeleteFinished favorites: Lost, Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Current shows: Arrow and Agents of Shield (yes I had a hard time with it in the beginning as well but it really got awesome halfway through and especially the last 6 episodes so i give credit for them fighting back hard)
ReplyDeleteFinished shows: Smallville and Heroes
I almost put POI instead of Hannibal too, but as a Hannibal fan for so many years, it's kind of nearer and dearer to me and they really have made an art piece out of it so far, let alone I think they have used the source material in a good way to flesh the whole story out! :)
ReplyDeleteI pass. Good luck to others.
ReplyDeleteGood question. Heroes counts a current show. I shall note that in the post.
ReplyDeleteI am too , it was such a good show. I am still mad at syfy for cancelling it.
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the beast .supernatural.friends fringe
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Beauty and The Beast and Chicago PD
ReplyDeleteEnded: Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill
I can't believe I forgot Stargate SG-1!
ReplyDeleteI forgot Stargate SG-1, Veronica Mars, Buffy and Firefly...shame on me!
ReplyDeleteHow is Heroes considered a current show when new episodes haven't aired yet?
ReplyDeleteSame way 24 counted as current in last year's competition. It will air new episodes after the cutoff date.
ReplyDeleteI too forgot about SG-1, Farscape, The Wire and so on.... :P
ReplyDeleteWait,is it Heroes or Heroes Reborn? Sorry,don't mean to be dense but i thought the Best Series Competition was for the 2013-2014 season in terms of voting for current series. When is Heroes Reborn starting...? I must be confused because i don't understand how Heroes can be nominated for a current show?
ReplyDeleteIn the same way that 24 LAD = 24, Heroes Reborn = Heroes. Heroes Reborn is starting in 2015, but because Heroes Reborn = Heroes, Heroes is counted as current. Make sense?
ReplyDeleteSort of. 24 LAD aired during the 2013-2014 viewing season so 24 LAD can be included but Heroes didn't air in the 2013-2014 viewing season.
ReplyDeleteSince Heroes will be shown in 2015 it could be included in next summers Best Series Comp. for current show. That's how i see it......make sense? :P
In essence, that makes sense. However, last year featured 24 as a current show, even though it was the exact same principle as with Heroes here. It hadn't yet aired any LAD episodes, and wasn't going to until the following Spring. Yet it counted as a current show.
ReplyDeleteHere, Heroes hasn't yet aired any Reborn episodes, and isn't going to until the following Spring. The crucial bit here is the "going to". It is going to be airing new episodes after the cutoff date of 1st June 2014.
Now i get it....don't think its quite fair but now i understand.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt is following the guidelines counting it as a current show.. though I can see where your doubts come from.
ReplyDeleteI chose - ARROW and OUAT and for finished shows Battlestar Galactica and Stargate SG1
ReplyDeleteIf I could've chosen more current shows i would have added Masters Of Sex and Outlander.
THE BORGIAS!
ReplyDeleteI forgot Rectify! Thanks for mention it!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Adam usually do this? I guess he's busy, then.
ReplyDeleteCastle
ReplyDeleteTVD
Charmed
smallville
Yep. As I said in the post, 'Many of you might be wondering where Adam is. Unfortunately, he's a
ReplyDeletelittle tied up with real life (who'd have thought it - someone at
SpoilerTV having a real life?) so I've stepped in to run the
competition.'
Okay, I didn't read the full post. My bad.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I put Lost Girl instead of Supernatural, Game of Thrones, etc. Would be cool to see more variety in these things. A lot of times it's the same shows over and over again.
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Supernatural and GoT
ReplyDeleteEnded: House, MD and Burn Notice
I thought there were talks about dropping previous year winner from competition, weren't it? Just cant tolerate any more same old "of course SPN ( Castle, ect) will win because of their obsessive, crazy fans"
This is so hard! So many shows, so few to nominate, but here is my pick:
ReplyDeleteCurrent: Outlander and OUAT
Finished: X-files and Breaking Bad
Well, technically Heroes is an old show and Heroes Reborn is a new standalone show @Bradley Adams
ReplyDeleteI usually submit HIMYM but after that series finale, I just can't.
ReplyDeleteOutlander, hands down. Been waiting 22 years for this and it exceeds expectations.
ReplyDeleteyou have no idea how happy i am to see. The Mentalist and Burn Notice in one vote. Bless your soul~ <3
