I voted for Chuck.

Then I refreshed the page, and voted for TSCC.

I also voted for Kyle XY amongst the shows that are already cancelled, but should be brought back.

I don't get why people are so enamored by Chuck because everytime I've tuned in, it seems like the same thing every episode!

A. Sarah and Chuck get some sort of mission they have to go out together on.
B. Chuck gets into some crazy trouble during the mission and Sarah has to save him.
C. The Baldwin guy makes his angry bad guy face
D. The Nerd Herd at the Buy More get some little side plot at there store where they have to overcome their nerd herdishness
E. Sarah and Chuck are put in another sexually awkward position or situation
F. Chuck comes home and has a heart to heart w/ Ellie & Captain Awesome
G. They talk to the angry lady in the TV
H. Chuck stands and reflects on his relationship w/ Sarah
I. Fin

Lather.Rinse.Repeat.

 

[O'Haire]

Voted Chuck.

Couldn't care less about the others.

The only two shows on that list I really like are "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Dollhouse". I really couldn't decide until they mentioned Chris Rock saying he's already getting ready to say goodbye to the show and that the season finale involved him dropping out of high school to pursue comedy(which is what happened to him in real life). I think Chris really needs one more year to build up to that HOWEVER, I'd be okay with it ending early. I hope they can at least give us a 2-3 episode build up to that.

Ultimately, I went with Dollhouse. Whedon(when allowed room to play) can turn his shows into must see sci-fi masterpieces. Buffy and Angel turned into great shows once they hit their second season and Firefly started getting great in it's last handful of shows and I have no doubt it's season 2 would've rocked. Serenity played like a series finale to that show. Having said that, I think it's already obvious that Joss is laying seeds for Dollhouse's future in the past 3 or 4 episodes and I think he should be allowed to let them grow. The fact that Fox is seriously considering giving the show an good night(instead of the Friday death slot) means a lot. Imagine what Dollhouse could do with an American Idol lead in for example? I think it deserves a season 2. When givin freedom, Whedon is a nerd god(see Astonishing X-men for more proof).

 

[Darthkush]

and I voted for Pushing Daisies for the show I wanted to bring back from the dead. It ended way too quick.

 

[Kingfish]

Out of all those shows, Chuck is the most deserving and progressed, so it gets my vote.

 

[Timstuff]

I know some people who have used their 1337 hax to check the results of the poll, and currently, Terminator is winning-- by a LOT! That makes me pleased. Hopefully Fox is paying attention.

 

[carrrnuttt]

Hopefully Fox is paying attention.

Normally, I couldn't care less about online polls, but this one's from E!, and they actually carry a bit of respectability and recognition in the industry, so there's a better chance than most that a network rep gets to see the results from this.

Oh, I also found out about the poll from a hardcore automotive enthusiasts' forum--in support of TSCC. Throughout this entire forum, TSCC is is the ONLY TV show with its own thread. So it stands to reason that most of the votes from that and similar sites will go to TSCC.

 

[The Lizard]

In spite of the fact that both shows have elements that have annoyed me greatly, I'm leaning towards Sarah Connor and Dollhouse.

 

[Specter313]

I had to go for Dollhouse. It's really starting to show so much promise, and I don't want Whedon thinking he can't do television again if this gets canned.

 

[bullets]

wow. Dollhouse and Kings are already in danger. They give up on shows way too soon nowadays.

 

[vindrow]

Life got my few votes as did Reaper.

 

[deathshead2]

Chuck is really the only new show I watch. So I wish for it to stay.
To the poster who says each Chuck episode is the same well buddy you must not watch alot of tv show. As every show does that.

 

[Addendum]

The only series on that poll I've watched is Life, but I haven't been able to since the first season because of work.

So that's the only one that deserved my vote.

Not Terminator.

But that's probably part of why the ratings haven't been doing so great... Some people simply can't keep up with a show that follows a serialized format.

Anway, there are few people who would say that Chuck is in immediate danger, because it's almost guaranteed to get renewed next season. I don't really watch the show, but a lot of people say that it probably didn't really need to be on the list.

Dollhouse is apparently at high risk of cancellation though. It opened with modestly successful numbers, but they quickly dropped down to TSCC's levels, which isn't good considering that the show is in it's first season.

TSCC is at elevated risk, but considering it's been on for 2 seasons and the move to Fridays hit it hard, renewal is still a strong possibility (although so is cancellation). Fox knows that the show bottoms out at 3.5 million in the worst-case scenario (Friday slot of death), and so the question is now whether or not they should move it to a better night, and try to get more people to watch. For a Friday night show, it did not do too bad. It's maintianed a fairly steady second/third place position since the move. The numbers were mediocre, but if Fox was expecting better on a Friday night, then I dare them to put out a show that does better.

One thing is for sure... "The New Sci-fi Friday" was a total dud, and if either Dollhouse or TSCC survives, they're going to end up on a different night. Friday night is typically a night for game shows and reality TV, because that's the kind of entertainment that the stay-at-home-on-a-Friday-night crowd usually watches. The audience of a scripted show as involved and cerebral as TSCC though tends to be a bit more mainstream in their viewing hours. There's no reason why TSCC doesn't deserve better than a Friday slot when no-one is watching, or a Monday slot when everyone is watching football. They should pair it up with American Idol or 24 if they're serious about making it to do well.

 

[Sawyer]

Chuck. i'm so over alot of these shows. Reaper and Terminator: TSCC are both pretty much dead to me. Pushing Daisies ending... was probably for the best. Dollhouse... I wanted to love it so much, but I just got kinda bored.

 

[Hush]

KINGS! This is the best show on television, hands down.

 

[Wyrminarrd]

I voted for Reaper, that show really does deserve another season.

I voted for Pushing Daisies in the lost cause sections, this show was great and it surprised me a lot to see it cancelled.

 

[SuperT]

Pushing Daisies was good, but if you looked at it's ratings, you shouldn't be surprised as to why it was cancelled.

 

[Matt]

Chuck and Worst Week ftw.

 

[batnkevlar]

Chuck, Worst Week, and Reaper...

 

[AlteredEgo]

Voted Reaper and Pushing Daisies. Has this done anything in the past though?
