Poll update: Best TV Of The '00s

Sunday 20 December 2009
My poll to see what you think the best TV show of the past decade was has hit a few snags. As I feared, a few fanbase's have found the poll and started to skew the result by getting their masses to vote. As I made very clear when this started, those shows have now been removed from the poll. So, sorry if you voted for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles or Firefly, but your fans let you down and cost your show a placing. If it makes you feel better, those shows weren't in the top 10 when the voting started to get suspicious.

Anyway, I encourage you to vote if you haven't done so already (closing date 17 Jan), but it's not a good idea to link to this poll in any fan forums or on Facebook. Some people obviously can't be trusted to vote sensibly, which is a shame for all the genuine fans out there who voted within the rules and didn't just get thousands of their online fans to corrupt the poll. Would those people have been satisfied with a cheated win, anyway? Sigh. I've now increased security to block multiple votes from the same IP addresses, which might cause a few people problems on certain networks (apparently). Apologies if this affects you registering your 10 votes, but I'd rather do that than have to eliminate any more shows from the running.
