Castle and Chuck;)
ReplyDeleteI voted for 'The Walking Dead' which is just epic scale TV and I'm really excited for Season Two!
ReplyDeleteAlso votes for Chuck, as I've just started watching it (up to about 2.10) and it's great fun!
Poll should close at 11:14am GMT tomorrow :)
I have only one thing to say: Chuck !
ReplyDeleteI have only one thing to say : Chuck !
ReplyDeleteCastle and Chuck, du-uh!
ReplyDeleteCastle and Chuck!
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead and Chuck!
ReplyDeleteVoted for Castle and Desperate Housewives. But I put Castle and Chuck on my bracket cause I think they'll win.
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead and Chuck, no question.
ReplyDeleteOh-oh, picked DH in the prediction competition.. Guess I didn't pay enough attention to it, now I would have picked Chuck.. Stupid, stupid, stupid :D
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead and Desperate.
ReplyDeleteCastle, all the way. Even though I do love The Walking Dead.
ReplyDeleteand I don't watch Desperate Housewives or Chuck, but I went for Chuck anyway.
sooo excited!!
ReplyDeletethis will get me through exams :D
picked castle and chuck
i don't watch either but i wanna help out my own bracket
Castle and Chuck ♥
ReplyDeleteCastle and Desperate Housewives!!! They deserve some love :) they are so desperate.
ReplyDeleteCastle and Desperate Housewives!!! They deserve some love, they are so desperate ^^
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead for me, don't watch the other shows. But pretty sure Castle & Chuck will make it to the next round.
ReplyDeleteCastle for an amazing season 3 fingers cross...
ReplyDelete@AdamdHarris:disqus
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the Sam Weiss! I almost used that pic for my Season 3 FRINGE DVD art..... decided to go with him staring at the brass Newton's Cradle instead.
Castle and Chuck, and predicted the same.
ReplyDeleteCastle and Chuck, and predicted the same.
ReplyDeleteCastle and Chuck,even though i really like The Walking Dead...
ReplyDeleteCastle over The Walking Dead? Really, i hate polls. People are so retarded. It`s not the same class when it comes to production and acting.
ReplyDeleteno need to get offensive
ReplyDeleteI voted The Walking Dead (despite having been hugely disappointed by the first season).
ReplyDeleteI voted Chuck (despite having been disappointed by the last 2 seasons).
Chuck might be one of the few shows I voted or will vote for that actually have a shot to make it to the 2nd round (we can already see that TWD clearly doesn't stand a chance against Castle).
Woo, so excited to finally have this show on the road. I don't watch either of the first two shows, so I voted with my bracket and went for 'Castle'. The second poll was easy: I hate 'Desperate Housewives', and I quite like 'Chuck', so I went with the latter.
ReplyDeletealso, it says vanpire diaries instead of vampire diaries on the bracket page
ReplyDeletejust letting you know :D
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
ReplyDeleteVoted for The Walking Dead and Chuck.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as of now, my predictions are correct with who is winning. Hopefully it stays that way.
LET THE MADNESS BEGIN.
ReplyDelete(No kidding here, folks...this is gonna be scary...)
Today I'm all about fairness. I absolutely LOVed The Walking Dead--all 7 episodes. That's the problem, and that's why I voted for Castle over TWD. Castle has maintained quality over 3 seasons and TWD is yet untested. I loved DH for about 3 seasons before I got tired of it, and have never watched Chuck, so I did not vote in the second poll.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the objectivity here.
ReplyDeleteOh and I think TWD has aired 6 episodes so far.
Walking dead was a fantastic show but really didn't run very long. But I voted for it anyway because of the quality of work that Castle just does not offer and the genre is so different. on the other hand I do not enjoy either Chuck or Desp. Housewives. I can't seem to find any Emmy worthy work in either of them so I will leave that vote for those who enjoy the shows.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Let the game begin. This is one of my favorite times on SpoilerTV. I'm not vested in any of the four shows today although I have seen the first two seasons of Chuck and I have the DVD's of Walking Dead ready to watch.
ReplyDeleteCastle (of course XD) and Desperate Housewives for me!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, if you're already upset, feel free to ignore the rest of this competition... You might end up with bad indigestion... :(
ReplyDeleteDESPERATE HOUSEWIVESSS!!
ReplyDeleteI voted for The Walking Dead, because I haven't seen much of Castle, and there's something about TWD's pacing and production that just pulls me in.
ReplyDeleteAnd I voted for Desperate Housewives because I've been watching it since the very beginning, and still love it. To be honest, it's getting to be more of a guilty pleasure these days, but Chuck just doesn't keep me as interested as DH do.
True. I will only get more intense from here. Problems at this stage are like a splinter. By the time we get to the finales, we will all look like the walking dead. At least metaphorically.
ReplyDeleteI gave it too much credit :)
ReplyDeleteChuck y Castle los mejores! the best!
ReplyDeletevoted walking dead and chuck, predicted castle and chuck
ReplyDeleteCastle and Chuck. Even though it wasn't Chuck's best season it's still better then Desperate Housewives
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead and Chuck.
ReplyDeleteSame here
ReplyDeleteI voted Castle and Chuck.
ReplyDeleteEven though I really like The Walking Dead, I'm not willing to pick a one-season, six episode show over a a successful program of three seasons and counting.
Castle and Chuck, an easy pick today.
ReplyDeleteWhenever SpoilerTV has a big time Poll contest, there is ALWAYS some drama going on. HELLO??? It's for fun! No need to ruin other people's good time!
ReplyDeleteI thought there was only 6 episodes for the first season of Walking Dead? I could be wrong, though ; )
ReplyDeleteOh, never mind...Should have saw Wilson's post before replying...DUH! lol
ReplyDeletethe walking dead and chuck without thinking =D
ReplyDeleteI'm getting hypothetical here:
ReplyDeleteWhat about Firefly vs Smallville?
That's a (slightly) different case because those are two finished series. The bodies of work are complete. The two shows in question (Castle & Walking Dead) are ongoing and still evolving.
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, to answer your question more directly I'd vote for Smallville over Firefly because Smallville's longevity and ability to retain a rock-solid viewership is extremely impressive for a genre show.
I voted for The Walking Dead (which is just a better directed, better written, and better put together technically than Castle...the one edge Castle has over The Walking Dead is acting) and Chuck (which at its worse is plain old fun).
ReplyDeleteCastle all the way.
ReplyDeletefor me, the one and only zombie show is ''shaun of the dead''. (even though it is a movie)
CASTLE AND CHUCK :)
ReplyDeleteCastle and Chuck. I was worried when I chose Castle in my bracket cos I wasn't sure it could beat The Walking Dead but I'm pretty confident now. xD
ReplyDeleteI watch all four but just *had* to give it to Walking Dead (both for the zombies and the consistent quality) and Chuck....Desperate is still kinda fun but getting long in the tooth. Might have been different if you'd asked this a season ago but Morgan knowing Chucks secret took the fun of that show up a notch.
ReplyDeleteOnly CHUCK,Castle and Firefly!!! <3
ReplyDeleteI wanted to vote for the Walking Dead but was too late, but it most likely wouldn't have made it anyway!
ReplyDeleteDon't suppose it would have made it to the finals, but it would have deserved to survive a bit longer. Maybe next year, someone needs to get the info out to all the TWD fansites.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! Let the game begin. This is one of my favorite times on SpoilerTV. I'm not vested in any of the four shows today although I have seen the first two seasons of Chuck and I have the DVD's of Walking Dead ready to watch.
