  1. I love Charmed for the childhood memories, but SPN ftw.

  2. X-Files and Supernatural. Easy choices for me today despite liking Chuck quite a bit.

    voted supernatural (of course <3 ) and chuck
    chuck i've seen a few epsidoes of and i quite liked and am planning to watch it more when i get the time
    haven't seen either charmed or the x-files (which is why i didn't vote for either of them) but i am planning on getting into the x-files
    love this stage of the competition where we get the videos, the supernatural one is amazing
    i'm always so impressed with the videos people can make!!

    ReplyDelete
  4. X-Files...and Charmed. Get off my lawn.

    ReplyDelete
  5. No matter how much I love Chuck, I couldn't not pick X-Files.
    Charmed, how could I not it was my childhood!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I had to vote for Charmed over Supernatural because I watched it regularly for more years.

    ReplyDelete
  7. The X-Files and Supernatural get my votes!

    I remember several, several rounds ago someone got upset and mentioned that we should just crown Supernatural the winner. I find that to be a little funny because I think that's what's gonna happen!

    But that's not how things work...But still a little funny because I think Supernatural has the biggest fan base on here :)

    ReplyDelete
  8. Oh god im so inspired by the Supernatural vid *sniffles*

    ReplyDelete
  9. I wish I could've seen Castle vs X-Files - I couldn't've picked between them... But X-files and Charmed for me today, but of course SPN will win.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Supernatural. Obviously :)
    And X-Files because it's iconic tv. And of course Supernatural owes so much to X-Files - Dean's 'Mulder'  and Sam's 'a red headed woman'  :D

    ReplyDelete
  11. Supernatural for me too:)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I love Charmed, it's a great show. I used to watch it with my sister all the time, but Supernatural is the better show to me and the video was beautiful and inspiring. So while I have that lingering connection to Charmed, I'm much more attached and love Supernatural. X-Files too. Before my best friend friend passed away we used to watch it and obsess over David Duchovny all the time. lol She absolutely loved him. X-Files holds a special place in my heart, so X-Files and Supernatural get my vote.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Watch the youtube video for the X-Files and then tell me how anyone could NOT vote for this series. It's spectacular! 

    ReplyDelete
  14. Voted X-Files and Supernatural 

    ReplyDelete
  15. X-Files & Supernatural.

    Pitting Charmed against Supernatural is like the Harlem Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals.

    ReplyDelete
  16. No day will be easier for me.  The X-Files and Supernatural.  Always.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Not sure about that.  Fringe has beaten Supernatural on this site before.  It's the fan base I would be most on the look out for.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I totally forgot about that song.  Now I'm going to have to go online and look for it.  Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Every show in today's competition owes something to the X-Files.  For me, that's enough reason to vote for it today.  The next go-around is another story though.  :-)

    ReplyDelete
  20. OK, I call foul.  The FB like button won't work for me on this page but it does on every other page.  How am I supposed to rally the Supernatural troops?  I'd rather promote Supernatural than Suits.  :-P

    ReplyDelete
  21. I voted for Chuck and Supernatural

  22. pinkphoenix19858 July 2011 at 05:27

    I had to vote for my two current favorites- Supernatural and Chuck

    ReplyDelete
  23. X-files and Supernatural, easy pick today. 

    ReplyDelete
  24. I had to vote for Cuck, cause I love that show, and Charmed because... well I was a real charmed fan when i was a kid :)

    ReplyDelete
  25.  I voted X-Files even though I love Chuck but X-Files kinda started it all second no brainer Supernatural all the way

    ReplyDelete
  26. X-files and SPN. Love all the contestants, but really not too hard of a choice for me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow, just got around to watching that X-Files tribute video. Very well done and it may have just an inspired another marathon for me.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Um.... http://youtu.be/mwODnKMgwfs.

    xD

    ReplyDelete
  29. X Files and Charmed

    Sorry SPN fans but i've never even seen the show, please don't kill me! :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. That was one of the most horrendous things I have ever heard.  Seriously, in need of brain bleach here.  Thanks so much, Hungry!  :-P

  31. charlenelovesmojo19918 July 2011 at 08:54

    XFiles ,SPN XXX<3

    ReplyDelete
  32. Damn, my pity vote for Chuck over X-Files widened its lead over X-Files although I expected X-Files to reach the next Round.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Haven't watched all seasons for either show..From what I've seen though,I'll definitely go with X-Files!

    Charmed was fun,but it's not even close for me...Supernatural!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was gonna say: "Bye Bye Chuck and Charmed". But look at that. Chuck's kinda winning.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hmmmph! It says link 'not found'. If you ask me there was never a link in the first place! 
    Nice, Hungry. 
    Color me disappointed :( 
    And here I was thinking my friend Hungry Emo was gonna make my day.

    Oh by the way - long time no snark  - I missed you :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. That was easy Supernatural...but choosing between Chuck and X-files...in the end picked Chuck.

    ReplyDelete
  37. X-files and Supernatural for me!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  38. I can't believe Chuck is winning over the classic X-Files. Hope it's gonna change.

    As for the second one, obviously Supernatural. Easy pick.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I do not appreciate this one. I love all four shows and can't decide!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I love both Charmed and Supernatural. Even though I think SN is the better show, I voted for Charmed due to sentimentality and the fact that I know SN will win anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I was the same. I voted against chuck which i truly love but x files has been an epic show and world wide fan base. Chuck has not reached that scale and unfortunately never will.

    Supernatural was an easy choice over charmed

    ReplyDelete
  42. X-files easily for the first one, although I did like Chuck (I haven´t watched it in a while). But the second one was hard. I loved Charmed and I love Supernatural. In the end I voted for Charmed because I know SN will have enough votes on its own.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh definitely Supernatural over Charmed. And X-Files... you just can't go wrong with that classic. 

    ReplyDelete
  44. Chuck and Supernatural

    ReplyDelete
  45. How is the X-Files losing to Chuck? The X-Files was a show unlike any other series. It deserves to go to another round. I know the series ended almost 10 years ago but it has close to 500 votes for a reason. It's an amazing series. If you are reading this message & love the X-Files, make sure to tell your friends to vote for the series. It needs to win! (Though all 4 shows are fantastic. Wonderful round!)

    ReplyDelete
  46. The X-Files and Supernatural.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think Supernatural is one of the most accessable shows on TV, now and in the past.

    Whether it's the BEST show ever is debateable (obviously) but that's why these little competitions are a must. The best show with the bigger audience RIGHT NOW wins.

    ReplyDelete
  48. That's weird. It was working earlier. Just type in "Jensen Ackles Stalker Song" and you'll find it.

    Also, yes, life has been too busy for my liking! I'm hoping to leave more snarks here and there.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'd rather promote feces than Suits.

  50. Andrea Helgadóttir8 July 2011 at 13:58

    Chuck and Supernatural! my two favorite shows of all time! :D

    ReplyDelete
  51. I haven't seen enough of The X-Files to vote for it over Chuck, but I can definitely get on board with Supernatural being a far superior show to Charmed.

    ReplyDelete
  52. X-files may be classic but let`s face it...Chuck is way better show, has an originality like no other.

    ReplyDelete
  53. the x files, obviously. like said before, every show today owes somethings to that amazing show. best show ever.

    ReplyDelete
  54. THE X-FILES! My very fave show, for forever. 
    How is it that Chuck is winning anyway? It doesn't deserve it, since it wasn't as near as groundbreaking as The X-Files. (I have the basis for that, since I've seen a few Chuck episodes and they bored me.) Just saying... *shrugs*

    I don't care for either Charmed or Supernatural, so no votes from me there.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Chuck a better show than X-Files? VERY UNLIKELY. The only
    reason Chuck is even giving X-Files competition right now is because Chuck is a
    current show with a current active fanbase while X-Files is a 90s show that has
    been off the air for a decade and naturally the fanbase isn't as active. (Let's
    see how Chuck does compared to new shows 10 years from now. LOL)


     


    But going back to these two shows, I can't see how anyone
    could think that in general terms, Chuck is better than X-Files.


     


    Chuck has only been on for 4 seasons. X-Files was on for
    twice that and had 2 feature films under its belt. That alone is something that
    almost NO OTHER show has done. 


     


    Rating wise, I don't follow Chuck very much, but I remember
    hearing it struggled in NBC with 4-6 million per episode. X-Files in its
    highest season had over 17 million and in it's lowest season had 7 million. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files)


     


    As far as quality goes, Chuck is listed on this page as
    having 2 Emmy wins while the X-Files had 16 Emmy wins (nomination wise, Chuck
    has only 2 nominations for Emmy's while the X-files had a whopping 45!!!) Not
    to mention it had dozens of *other* awards like SAG's and Golden Globes.


     


    Anyway, you dice it, X-File is a much better series. It
    lasted longer, it had higher ratings, it had more awards and not only was a
    huge cultural phenomena at the time but it has passed the test of time as
    demonstrated in polls like this one where a decade year old show like the
    X-Files can still give a relative new show like Chuck a run for its money.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Let's face it?
    At the most, it could be YOUR way of seeing it, but for sure it isn't an universal truth that we're trying to avoid.

    ReplyDelete
  57. This site is for spoilers so most of the people who visit here are fans of the new shows like Supernatural, Bones, Fringe, Chuck, ect. I'd say it's very unlikely that the traffic this site brings in would be composed of fans of older shows who clearly wouldn't have a reason to seek out spoilers. So, I think that generally speaking, the newer shows have an unfair advantage in terms of what type of "fan" this site naturally brings in. Then of course the other advantages these new shows have is that they are new! LOL So they have, I'm sure, very active fanbases who are constantly voting on these types of polls. I've done the same with other newer shows I watch like Smallville and Bones...Every year I get in the mindset of voting and typically vote 20-30 times throughout the year on dozens upon dozens of polls! I rarely get to vote for X-Files though since it's such an old show, but I'm glad I did here, it's one of my all time favorite shows! :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Well which show is better is definitely a subjective question which means there's no definitive answer. However, you can try to get to some kind of an objective answer by looking at comparable and concrete data such as ratings, awards, longevity of the series, ect, which is exactly what I did, and in those concrete terms, X-Files is clearly superior to Chuck. 

    ReplyDelete
  59. Great post briee, that's exactly the point

    ReplyDelete
  60. Great post. ITA with every word and I voted for X-Files.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Agrees, that's exactly what I meant. The definitive answer is subjective of course, but the few objective data says that X-Files is at the very least "superior" to Chuck. That's way I didn't like at all the "let's face it" comment.

    ReplyDelete
  62. X Files and of course Supernatural..... Can`t believe X Files is running so far behind

    ReplyDelete
  63. Andi, that's exactly what I just "cautioned" voters about  who wanted to throw the "perceived underdog" a bone/pity vote. Assume Nothing. Sort of like the X-Files most used tag of "Trust no one" ;).

    ReplyDelete
  64. Chuck has more vote than the X files? the world is crazy!
    it's like choosing Justin Bieber instead of John Denver, or twilight instead of romance holiday, or I don't know, transformer instead of grave of fireflies may be? ridiculous!

    ReplyDelete
  65. New shows do have an advantage.  There's no denying that.  However, many of these shows have paid homage to the X-Files in some way or another.  Plus, many people on SpoilerTV are particularly fond of genre shows and remember when the X-Files was airing.  Even last year when this competition began, The X-Files had a great run.  If a decades old show is going to be shown love in a competition, this is it's best shot.  The X-Files created a legacy that is hard to ignore.  I'm quite frankly surprised Chuck is beating it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I completely agree.  The X-Files solidified the foundation that most genre shows stand on.  

    ReplyDelete
  67. Wow... Just because you people love X-Files, doesn't mean you have to trash Chuck. And comparing it to Justin Bieber and Twilight? That's low. How would you feel if fans of a show that's older and more popular than X-Files came on here and started criticizing your show because their's is a "classic."

    ReplyDelete
  68. X-Files for the first poll. I've seen every episode when I was a teen. The start of every mystery series that came afterwards: I want to believe!

    Supernatural - for me - goes without saying.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I didn't vote for the first poll and voted SPN for the second. I would have loved to vote for Charmed again in a poll, but not against SPN. Can't do that.

    ReplyDelete
  70. The X-Files is catching up!! 

    ReplyDelete
  71. Let's hope it can pull out a victory in the end.  Today I am all pro-X-Files.

    ReplyDelete
  72. The X-Files is my all time favourite show and Chuck is my current favourite show...so voting sucks today.
    X-Files already won everything so I voted for Chuck. In my point of view Chuck really deserves much more success and much more seasons (not going to happen, but a man can dream^^)

    ReplyDelete
  73. VOTE X-FILES PEOPLE! LET'S SHOW THEM THAT IT IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST FANDOM! <3

    ReplyDelete
  74. This poll is all over the place, last I checked X-Files had got back in front, now Chuck's over 100 votes behind...

    ReplyDelete
  75.  Oh, definitely! And the best proof of that is that TXF won 5th place last year! So, that's pretty incredible! I think there are some definite (and major) disadvantages for TXF and yet they aren't enough to keep it down either way. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  76. It caught up! It caught up! LOL And then Chuck caught up! This is kind of fun! ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  77. Charmed is really getting demolished in this poll! I never watched the series as a teen but I've been watching some repeats on TNT for the first time and they're not as bad as I used to think.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Yes, best to wait until X-Files is ahead and then close it. *nods* That's my unbiased recommendation! *winks*

    ReplyDelete
  79. It's dropping further back than it was before... think it needs some life soon or it could all be over :P

    ReplyDelete
  80. Leonie Henckell8 July 2011 at 20:41

    X-Files and Charmed.
    X-Files is the best show ever (beside Gilmore Girls).
    X-Files is magical.
    X-Files is exciting.
    X-Files is breathtaking.
    X-Files is just the best.

    And the best about the X-Files? It has Gillian Anderson in it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I agree... Fringe changed TV and for that it deserves a place in at least the last eight... but I'm remaining unbiased and watching rather than rallying troops :P

    ReplyDelete
  82. Leonie Henckell8 July 2011 at 20:42

    XF is legend, I agree.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Dude... a rare comment. Sponsored by USA Network I would guess of course :P

    ReplyDelete
  84. I love how you write it as if there is no explanation needed :P

    In all fairness though, no explanation needed...

    ReplyDelete
  85. I like the video and tributes and stuff too! This is usually the stage where things start to get serious :P

    ReplyDelete
  86. The winner of the VD/LOST battle could yet have a say in procedings...

    and the winner of the Chuck/X-Files may also do looking at todays votes!

    ReplyDelete
  87. I recognised it from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yeah... It wasn't working for me last night either. All's good now though! :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. You could always look at the results before throwing pity votes... :P

    ReplyDelete
  90. I think for a lot of people it's still gonna get tougher :P

    ReplyDelete
  91.  LOL! Well I've tweeted about it. Nothing much we can do but wait! *crosses fingers* Guess this year it did worse than last? I can't wait for the 2012 poll! If we get the 3rd X-Files movie there could be a nice little resurgence in the active online X-Files fandom! *smiles*

    ReplyDelete
  92. Last year the X-Files/Supernatural poll was huge... X-Files lost with over 7,000 votes from what I remember...

    ReplyDelete
  93. All of the above is true! =P  (And where are the polls about hottest actresses? I'd definitely vote for Gillian Anderson. All these years later and she's still my #1 girl crush!)

    ReplyDelete
  94. its about time i started commenting more. so im trying to make the effort haha

    ReplyDelete
  95. Calm down, Chuck is not that bad. It's quite good in fact. Don't get carried away.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Fun ? ^^ When X Files caught up , I was like.... yeahhhhh and when I checked back again I was like ... oh nooo!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I can`t see the tribute for Spn ;( and again for a million times I wish I wouldn`t live in germany....

    ReplyDelete
  98. X-files and Chramed for ever on here :D 

    ReplyDelete
  99. Holy crap! Chuck is beating X-Files? Have half the X-Files fans been asleep for the past 24 hours? xD
    Looks like Chuck might make some tough competition for things like Supernatural or Lost this year.

    ReplyDelete
  100. They're working. When they come home from work, they'll vote, I'm sure.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I hope so.  It's hard when there is no longer a central site to get the word out to fans.  Or maybe there is and I just don't know about it.  

    ReplyDelete
  102. No chance...Chuck is too many votes ahead

    ReplyDelete
  103. JosephMcLaddle9 July 2011 at 01:22

    I haven't seen all of either, but I have seen a handful of both X-Files and Chuck...  Very different shows, but X-Files gets my vote mainly for its legacy.  A lot of shows I love now might not have been given a chance if X-Files had never existed.

    Didn't even bother voting or checking the results of Charmed vs. Supernatural.  Not even real witches could defeat the behemoth of Supernatural online fandom.  I'm honestly more interested in who will win second place overall.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Ha, we'll just crown Supernatural the early winner and whoever comes in second will be the honorary first.

    ReplyDelete
  105. JosephMcLaddle9 July 2011 at 02:19

    Pretty much agree. 

    I'm not a Supernatural hater (I actually really love the show), but at some point these competitions become "Best Fanbase" and not "Best Show," and I'm okay with that.  I respect the Supernatural fans for being so present and ardent, though I do criticize a fraction of them for being petty at times (fans who propagate the "Samgirls" vs. "Deangirls" catfights, I'm looking at you). 

    But yeah, these competitions fascinate me.  Seeing a show like Breaking Bad lose to The Vampire Diaries is a really interesting social commentary of fansites. 

    ReplyDelete
  106. i voted x-files and Supernatural never seen an episode of chuck and never seen an episode of charmed

    ReplyDelete
  107. (Big sigh)  And a classic goes down for the count and we're left with TV Guide Cover - part 2.  Too bad.  I was hoping for the excellent debate The X-Files vs Supernatural match gave us last time.  It was one of my favorite times in the contest last year.

    ReplyDelete
  108. WOW 2907 votes and counting way the go X-Files and Chuck fans

    ReplyDelete
  109. Wow, kind of a surprise chuck is eating X-files..... 

    Happy for Chuck I guess, but sad to see a classic go down to a series that will likely be forgotten within five years after it ends.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Oh wow. I forgot about that. I will get on it then as soon as the final match is set. :)

    ReplyDelete
  111. The X-Files was so great and did an amazing job of bringing in casual sci-fi fans. At least we can take solace in the fact that it put up a helluva fight so many years after it ended.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Didn't know that. I hear that Fringe is pretty good. Haven't seen it yet, but hopefully soon!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I never say Chuck is bad. There must be some reasons why it has quite a
    fanbase. It just, well, I love the X files and feel a little sad when sth
    current beats sth classic. don't think i'm carried away. it just how I talk.
    sounds a bit negative eh? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  114. Well, this poll isn't really for "what show was groundbreaking" or "which show inspired future shows" etc etc. It's a poll for opinions on what is the best show.

    I absolutely adored The X-Files (though, later seasons were pretty awful) but if it went up against something like Six Feet Under or Supernatural, I wouldn't vote The X-Files - purely because I feel it wasn't as consistent as the others.

    While I think some seasons and most episode of The X-Files are miles above most things in regards to quality - this is about the show as a whole. Groundbreaking or not, there are shows that were consistently better in storytelling than The X-Files.

    And that's my two cents nobody asked for.

  116. I too think X-Files is a better show than Chuck. However, your reasoning for it doesn't really sit well.

    Emmys mean nothing to how one personally likes a show.
    How many seasons a show had means nothing to how one personally likes a show.
    Ratings mean nothing to how one personally likes a show.

    If you honestly can't fathom why someone would pick Chuck over the X-Files, I'll try to help you. It's subjective, according to taste. Just because you (and I, actually) think X-Files is a far superior show, it doesn't make it so.

    All the Emmys, seasons, ratings in the world couldn't make me think Smallville or Charmed or Two And A Half Men are superior shows to things like Fringe, Firefly, Pushing Daisies, etc.

  117. Nobody needs to look at any data.

    Either you like one show better than the other, or you don't. It's a simple question in a poll. It doesn't require a thesis, really.

  119. Had to add something here. I love Chuck and never found the show boring, but X-Files for life. I'd vote X-Files over anyshow, anytime. It opened the doors for so many shows out there today (including Fringe, Lost, ect). 

    Even if it lost, I'm still a proud XPhile

  123. After seeing Chuck highlights set to Johnny Rivers, how can you vote against it?  OK, Bree Sharp created an entire song about David Duchovny, but still...  :-D
