Can you post this so<br \/>\nthat people know to go vote to save the show? Thanks.<\/p>\n<p>This is the direct link for the voting: http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/life\/enter\/tv\/saveourshows.htm<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nCast your ballot to rescue a favorite show<br \/>\nBy Gary Levin, USA TODAY<\/p>\n<p>Shows on bubble could be headed for trouble<br \/>\nVote now: Keepers or goners?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to make your voice heard. USA TODAY&#8217;s fourth annual Save Our Shows survey offers you a<br \/>\nchance to vote on which of 18 programs wavering between renewal and cancellation should return.<\/p>\n<p>Last year&#8217;s poll drew responses from 12,667 viewers (most of them online), who weighed in with their<br \/>\nopinions of shows that are &#8220;on the bubble,&#8221; in network parlance.<\/p>\n<p>Does your vote have an effect? Well, yes and no. Among last year&#8217;s respondents, 52% wanted ABC&#8217;s<br \/>\nSports Night to return, but it was canceled anyway. (The drama lives on in reruns airing on Comedy Central.)<\/p>\n<p>Sci-fi and fantasy fans also turned out to support their favorites: 47% voted to keep NBC&#8217;s The Pretender<br \/>\nand CBS&#8217; Early Edition and Now and Again on the air, but all three were canceled.<\/p>\n<p>WB&#8217;s Roswell drew 42% of the vote from fans who wanted the show to stay. Thanks to the outpouring of<br \/>\nsupport (along with mass mailings of Tabasco sauce, an alien delicacy), Roswell still lives, though it makes<br \/>\na return appearance on this year&#8217;s ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Also returning to the Save Our Shows ballot: the WB romance Jack &#038; Jill and CBS&#8217; long-running mystery<br \/>\nDiagnosis Murder.<\/p>\n<p>Half of this year&#8217;s ballot, though, is made up of rookie shows that haven&#8217;t yet found solid footing, including<br \/>\nhigh-profile star vehicles such as ABC&#8217;s Geena Davis Show and NBC&#8217;s The Fighting Fitzgeralds as well as<br \/>\nthe much anticipated X-Files spinoff, Fox&#8217;s Lone Gunmen.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning today, you can give us your opinion by voting at saveourshows.usatoday.com or writing us at Save<br \/>\nOur Shows, USA TODAY, 1000 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22229. Entries must be received by April 16.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Jeni for this :)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nJust wanted to let you know that there is a poll at USA Today with the link<br \/>\nof:<br \/>\nwww.saveourshows.usatoday.com<\/p>\n<p>It lists out all the shows they consider to be &#8220;on the bubble&#8221; and you can<br \/>\nvote to drop or keep each show. Roswell is listed dead last out of 18 so<br \/>\nlets all vote and show them how much we love our show!<\/p>\n<p>Mid-May is when fans find out whether their favorite TV series return for<br \/>\nfall. But while we wait for word from the networks, tell us what you hope<br \/>\nhappens to these shows hovering between renewal and cancellation. (Shows<br \/>\nthat aren&#8217;t listed are already renewed, expected to return, as good as dead<br \/>\nor long gone). We&#8217;ll tally the votes and report the results in a future<br \/>\nissue of USA TODAY.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to Thicket668 for this :)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nUSA Today&#8217;s annual poll for which shows should stay and which should go is<br \/>\nnow up at their site.
