Welcome back folks,
Yesterday was our busiest day of the competition so far, and it produced two close run polls where any of the four shows stood a decent chance at reaching round two. Fringe ended up beating Bones with 56% of the votes, sending one of the big current shows of the competition crashing out early on. Charmed also sent ER out early on, with a 58% win over the medical drama. It was a strong showing from the supernatural drama, one it will need to replicate to stand any chance against Firefly in the next round.
Today sees two more current and two more finished shows doing battle for a place in the next round.
Firstly we have drama The Good Wife taking on The CW's surprise renewal for next season, Nikita. Both are quite popular with a decent group of fans, so it will be an interesting battle to see play out.
Secondly critically acclaimed police drama The Wire takes on one of the most popular teen dramas of the past ten years in The OC. It has very different fan bases, and to guess which one is stronger on STV is a tough call to make.
If you haven't joined in the competition before, remember that all you need to do is simply select which show is your favourite in both of the polls below. Easy!
If you want to see the draw for the rest of the competition, and see which show will take on which other show then head HERE for a look. Let the voting begin!
