Day 15: And so we hit the penultimate day of Round 2, after a few fairly quiet days over the weekend, potentially due to American Holidays, and also people not feeling the need to vote at this early stage in the competition. This perhaps was the case for LOST today, as it dropped by around 1,100 votes from it's Round 1 battle vs. The West Wing, but still comfortably saw off Seinfeld to make it's way into Round 3. Also, Doctor Who found the passage just as easy, seeing off The OC to make for a mouth watering Round 3 tie soon as it faces LOST in a few days. Sure to be interesting to see the cream of British TV taking on the most critically acclaimed prime time American shows of recent years. But that's for another day.
Today we have Supernatural, one of the competitions front runners after Round 1 taking on the show that, if awards is anything to go by, is the best show on TV at the present time, Mad Men. It it sure to fire up a few debates between the sci-fi fans and the more traditional drama supporters, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results. Also we have NCIS taking on the pick of the golden-oldie shows in MASH. Will old overcome new here? Let the battles begin.

Fan Review: Raluca (Romania)
I think Supernatural is the best TV show ever, or should be at least in the top 3. Aside from all the monsters and mythology, Supernatural shows the concepts of family, moral values and human nature in a whole new light. One of the best things about the show is the chemistry that all the characters and actors have. Jensen and Jared were practically born to be Dean and Sam, and I don't know if anyone's noticed that except for Paris Hilton, the show doesn't have bad episodic characters/actors. Supernatural is about more than just two brothers hunting demons, it's about a family that extends outside the TV show and the set, all across the world, reuniting us fans. I love Supernatural because it is funny, thrilling, interesting and I think that Kripke [Eric Kripke - Creator] wanted to show us how he envisions the world and let us discover ourselves through the questions that he brought up through each episode. I could go on forever, but if it has to be short, I should stop here.
Mad Men
Seasons: 3 (ongoing)
Previous Results: R1. WON vs. Northern Exposure (71.58%)
Format: Period Drama
Synopsis: Mad Men is set in the 1960s, initially at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York City, and later at the newly created firm of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. The show centers on Don Draper (Jon Hamm), creative director at Sterling Cooper and a founding partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, as well as those in his life in and out of the office. It also depicts the changing social mores of 1960s America.

supernatural is the best series ever
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love Mad Men, Supernatural wins hands down. Best. Show. Ever.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural FTW
ReplyDeleteA damn shame that it's going the way it is. Mad Men is far superior.
ReplyDeleteAh wow, I just discovered Supernatural and I really like it thus far. It's very fun and entertaining, but no way is it better than Mad Men.Granted I'm only about halfway through Supernatural, but in terms of quality in acting, dialogue, storyline, etc, Mad Men wins hands down. It seems unfair to compare two shows with such a different tone, but I guess you have to weed them out somehow.
ReplyDeleteTeam Winchester!!
ReplyDelete#supernatural, of course. There has never been a show about brothers like this one before. It's not about their love life or their job or I don't know what else - everything is about them and about their relationship, how it affects them. I seriously love stories about brothers so this show's basically my holy grail. I freely admit that even SPN has had its weaker spots but it still remains my favorite series ever.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural gets better as you progress through the seasons :P
ReplyDeleteNo competition. As much as I enjoy Mad Men, Supernatural is the better show FOR ME. It constanly takes risks and does things out of their comfort zone which don't always work but nobody is perfect. Sure Mad Men got his Emmys but they're so predictable, they only got 13 episodes each season and still the pacing is sometimes too slow to be entertaining. I love the female characters in Mad Men and actually think that January Jones and Elizabeth Moss deserve an Emmy more than John Hamm for his Don Draper but Supernatural got Jensen Ackles and a row of guest stars that just knock it out off the park each week. I don't care if critics fangirl about Mad Men, Supernatural is better. The main problem is that Mad Men is JUST a drama and Supernatural is comedy, horror and drama.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural yes, other no!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the best series eveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mad Men is a far superior hypnotic. If I ever have problems sleeping, I just whip it on in the background and I'm out.
ReplyDeleteSupernatural only gets better and believe me, the acting, storyline and acting, too. :)
ReplyDeleteHa Mad Men best drama Emmy winner my a**.... I'm so enjoying seeing it lose right now
ReplyDeleteSupernatural never gets the recognition it deserves from all those serious awards ( Is it because it's on CW? )
Glad it has such a stong fan-base on the internet though
Supernatural is the most amazing show ever created. That is not a question!
ReplyDeleteSupernatural all the way
ReplyDeleteSupernatural There is no better show!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, Mad Men is adult drama at it's finest.
ReplyDeleteI have orgasms of awesomeness when I watch Supernatural, so yeah, SUPERNATURAL FOREVER AND ALWAYS !!!!
ReplyDeleteAND 83.83 % voted on Supernatural, and that tells it all
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, Mad Men is an awesome show with an amazing cast and production values.
ReplyDeleteBut Supernatural is so much better.
Holy crap, you completely just summed up my feelings about SPN and MMen perfectly!
ReplyDeleteHah, by season 5 Supernatural matches Mad Men in the acting category, but from the first season the writing has always been a slow buildup that just gets better and better every year.
ReplyDelete1: LOST
ReplyDelete2:Supernatural
3: hOW COULD YOU LAVE OUT bUFFY??!!!!
