TV Shows

Off on a different tangent today, how about TV Shows?

We all have our own opinions on what's good and what's bad, but did you know there's a place to cast your vote? Simply go to http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/ to cast your vote for which shows you think are the best. The main page consists of shows currently in the "Top 40" of all time. On this page you can vote for up to 5 different shows, every 60 minutes. There is also a link near the bottom where you can 'nominate' a show and vote for it. After a 'nominated' show recieves 100 more votes than the bottom "Top 40" show, then there is a new entry on the "Top 40".

I've been voting on the site ever since Jericho was cancelled after the first season. I've watched it go from merely a 'nominated' show to #8 in about one year. That's pretty good for a show that only had one season, then was cancelled by CBS, then resurrected for another 7 episodes by fan power alone. Kind of makes you wonder hwy CBS cancelled it in the first place, and even how accurate the Neilson ratings really are.

Now, if only there was a place to vote for the worst TV shows of all time, so I could cast my votes for "American Idol" and "Dancing with the Stars".
