Hey all,
The television powerhouse that is HBO's Game of Thrones kicks off its campaign today. This, off the top of my head, may well be the first time the show is still airing its season while the competition is running, which could give it an added boost. I suspect it is also now at the height of its popularity - though that isn't to say it won't grow even further before it concludes. But Teen Wolf, its competitor today, isn't exactly lacking in support around these parts. It too is currently airing new episodes - ironically, both on Sundays, the day on which their battle commences - of the final season and taking down Thrones would be a real statement of intent.
Prison Break, recently having concluded its revival and earned a surge in popularity doing so, opens its account against fan favourite Hannibal. This is tough to call. Hannibal certainly isn't short of supporters - vocal ones, at that - who would love little more than to see the Hannibal Lecter drama receive the same treatment as its opponent here and return for another season. But FOX's drama is fresher to air, and may well be able to capitalise on that. In any event, it should be an interesting tie.
A reminder of the rules:
