I put this in the Press thread first, but DuctTape suggests a new thread so it's not lost.

We can keep any future polls, contests, Alpha Male nonsense in here too.



For now, EW has a What is the Must scripted TV show of the summer? poll on their site. Sadly, you can only vote once, so let's all go vote.



I'll also link to that ongoing Mr. Twitterverse contest, which says it has 4 more days (or rather, 4 Twitter days).

Well, I did my bit for the EW poll, for what it is worth. With the Twitter thing I'm just happy we are on the first page, since Jeffrey is relatively new at twittering and doesn't have the follower base of someone like Wil Wheaton or even David Hewlett (both of whom I also follow). I just never remember to pop over to the site each 20 minutes to spread my votes around, so maybe having this thread as a reminder for all polls will help.

MY VOTE IS IN.

My votes are in too.

Thanks Karendipitee!

Oh, I just saw there is a place for comments at PopWatch. I guess I will go back. I always want people to know more about Burn Notice

I know of another contest! Maybe you guys already heard of this contest, but TV by the Numbers has a burn notice contest going. You have until June 4 to guess how many viewers will watch the premier. Grab bag of Burn Notice related stuff is the prize!!! I made my guess, now its your turn!!!

HAS ANYONE TRIED TO VOTE THE NEXT DAY? SOME POLLS ALLOW IT. CAN SOMEONE CHECK TO SEE IF IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO VOTE AGAIN AFTER 24 HOURS. I WOULD DO IT, BUT I JUST VOTED TODAY.

Hmmm. . . not quite, I don't know if it's a Firefox thing or what but I was able to vote four different times today. So vote early and vote often!

Hmm, forgot the browser factor. It wasn't refreshing in Firefox, even in a new tab. In IE, it did refresh and let me vote again. Of course, now the people have come out for True Blood, so we know what a battle that will be.


Thanks, FiRocks!

This is a great idea, thanks Karendipitee and DuctTape! I'll add it to the Cliff Notes as soon as I can (probably later on today)...

It should be a FF blessing or something, I can also vote more than one time using it, but, I can only vote once with Google Chrome...
Hurray for FF!!!

Looks like you can vote for BN in the EW Must Scripted Summer Series as much as you want as long as you clear you cookies in your web browser after each vote.
To clear cookies in Firefox:
1. Go to Tools
2. Click on Clear Private Data
3. Checkmark Cookies
4. Hit Clear Private Data Now
5. Refresh EW poll page
6. Vote BN
7. Repeat steps 1-7
If you use a different browser just google search on 'how to clear cookies' & your web browser (internet explorer, safari, etc)
*Please note: some websites won't let you login if you don't have cookies enabled (cookies are small coded files that Web sites write onto your hard drive to keep track of the pages you've visited) so if you find yourself suddenly un-logged in, it may be because you just cleared your cookies, so just log back in. So, for instance, I'm logged into this site on Safari, while I vote on the EW poll using Firefox so I can keep clearing cookies.

Happy Voting!

Since we are facing the vamps again, I guess it's time to rally the troops once more!

Oh, durn, I'm at work and I can't clear my cookies. (Well, that sounded wierd ) But, we do have a million computers around here so maybe I can go vote on every one.

I'm doing my bit with the Mr Twitter Universe comp! If we can get JD in the final 100, that'll be great. Even better to get him in the final 20 and onto the 'Twitterwall of Fame'!

I'm just about to have a go at voting on the other competitions mentioned here. What a great idea to have them all in one place. Thank you for that.

Thank you Natasha, the cookie information was helpful. And I love the vote button!

For the last hour I have been voting in both FF and Safari. Since I learned so much from your directions for FF, I thought I would share the cookie clearing directions for safari in case it helps. With Safari I could choose what I cleared, maybe this is true with others. Anyway, I cleared everything the first time. Now I only clear the EW poll cookies (most say EW or poll, but once the last 2 cookies said nbc). That way I can stay logged onto the BN site.

Latest update: The Vamps still ahead, BN 2nd at 27%
On Twitterverse we are losing ground, keep sliding back, but remain neck and neck with Barack Obama.

SAFARI
1. Choose Safari > Preferences.
2. Click Security.
3. Click Show Cookies.
4. Select one or more cookies and click Remove, or click Remove All.
5. When you finish removing cookies, click Done.

I've been voting for these polls because I would like more publicity for Burn Notice. But I was wondering... how many really see it?
Then last night I saw that Conan O'Brien's site for the new Tonight Show was asking who we wanted for guests, and it got me thinking...

If talk shows received 1/10th of the e-mails we send to polls, maybe even just 50 e-mails, would that be enough for them to consider inviting JD and others from Burn Notice onto their shows?

What do you think? Can/should we take this poll energy and organize a talk-show e-mail drive? Maybe one show a week? I'll go to the talk show thread to follow up.

(tech difficulties)

I just looked and it seems Jeffrey has slipped back to page 2 in the twitter poll. Looking at the totals for the front-runners it would appear he may be in the top 100 but not high in the running with just another day

Television Without Pity has started the voting for their annual Tubey Awards. There are 26 categories, and you can vote for something BN related in about 8 of them, including "best performance by an inanimate object."

It's a vote once deal, although clearing cookies might get around that. I haven't tried it.

I don't expect us to do too well, but thought I would mention it. Not a lot of BN love over at TWOP, but their recaps are funny.

Thanks for posting the link, Karendipitee. Loved the "Best Performance by an Inanimate Object" category. lol (The inanimate object from BN is yogurt. Personally, I think Michael's Charger should be nominated/win an this award....!)

Thanks for posting the link, Karendipitee. Some how I miss this. But, I got my vote in now.

Yes, you can clear cookies (see entries above for Mac or PC)

Next round starts Monday noon Eastern - See if Burn Notice can make it into the top 10!

thanks for the reminder, DuctTape! i shall get my votes in

ps- love your new sig!!!

(details on how to clear cookies on first page of thread for both mac and pc)

Round 2 Started today at noon Eastern.

Burn Notice can be found in:

1 Best Sidekick (Sam Axe)
2 Best Badass (Michael Westen)
4 Least Villainous Villain (Carla) = don't think we want to vote for that one
12 Best Season Finale
18 Cable Network Show Most Deserving of a Move to a Broadcast Network

But they missed "Best Guest Star" and "Best On-Screen Death Scene" for Burn Notice - sorry Curator and Dr. Kriss

Thanks for the round 2 reminder, DT.

Not sure I would want it to move to the network. They'd screw it up.

You're right. I shuddered when I saw the question (almost put question marks or a comment next to it).

Boy, you know it's bad when you can't remember a thread you started yourself!

Not contest, but quiz. Buddy TV has a Which BN Character Are You? quiz.

It's very cute, but fair warning, they make you register to get your results. That's when having an email address with no address book comes in handy.

And amazingly, I am Michael!

Hey, we can vote in the IMDB daily poll: Who would you turn to for help?

We're running behind the A Team and MacGyver at the moment.

You do need to be registered with IMDB to vote, but they don't deluge you with emails or do anything else weird with your address.

I voted and it's still the same with A Team and MacGyver ahead. All those other people are just wrong

Saw this link on the USA twitter page about a poll for "best exes" and right now Michael and Fi are winning by a good margin. I don't consider them exes but I'll vote for anything BN. They're up against people like Buffy and Angel.

Best TV exes

Edited to add: Zap2It actually has a series of polls. Sam is winning best sidekick but Michael is losing to Sarah Of "Chuck" as best spy. Let's go support our people.

Thanks for the link, LillyHobbs, it rocks they're winning by so many points!

Sweet! Thanks Lilly In addition to the Best TV exes, more linkylinks for all the categories:
Here's where to vote for Maddie for Best Mom
Westen for Best Spy
Sam for Best Sidekick
Westen for Best Voiceover
(how could they not include Fi in the Tough Chicks category?!?!)

Thanks for the other links, Natasha! What's up with Fi not being included in the "Tough Chicks"?!?! Hello, have they seen the show? Maybe we can write her in!

Vote for Bruce for Best Horror Actor in the Spike TV Scream 2009 Awards here.

Thanks to Patti and the other BC-aholics for the heads-up.

Thanks for adding the link here, Karen! According to a press release here you can vote up until October 17. The awards will be broadcast on Spike TV on October 27. And you can vote as many times as you want!

Go vote for Bruce NOW!

Patti

Unfortuatly all the polls except voiceover were closed, but I added my vote for that and we seem to winning by quite a bit.

Hello all - have you voted for your favorite horror actor today??


Patti

I know this info has already been mentioned over here, but I am adding this info as a shout-out to BurnNoticeRN for posterity's sake. Thanks for posting the info in the BC press thread!

We can vote to get Jeffrey Donovan nominated for a People's Choice Award here.

Thanks Karen for that link! I really hope he gets some recognition for all his hard work! I also noticed you could write in nominies so I thought maybe if enough of us wrote in Burn Notice here, then maybe our show could get some recognition!

And while we are writing shows/people in... Here is the link for best actress in a Drama, I wrote in GA!!

I wrote in Burn Notice and Gabrielle.

I also voted for JD and GA....thanks Karen!
