Jane is having a 2004 entertainment poll, found at: http://www.demographix.com/surveys/KRMW-BHLT/RBPWWXYV/ Some of the questions are lame and non-related, but others can be appropriately answered with Farscape or Farscape people. (For example, "Which celebrity could make parachute pants look hot?" -Ben, of course!) They also give you an opportunity to rant. :ewink:


Edited to say : Well, it's not accepting my email address. :mad: I sent them email, but if ya'll want to delete this post until the poll is fixed, that's cool.

My rant, for inspiration...

My biggest beef with television as an industry is the Nielsen rating system. Its formula is amazingly archaic - only 5,100 people determine what shows stay on, and what gets cancelled - and Nielsen has a total monopoly on television ratings. Even media execs, like Alan Wurtzel (president of research at NBC) question the validity of the system. If only a few Nielsen families have the same taste as I, my favorite shows will get cancelled. Case in point: Farscape (if you didn't notice from my write-ins on the poll, it's a favorite.) The SciFi Channel hailed Farscape as their "flagship" show for years, then cancelled it because it lost a few Nielsen households. Five people didn't watch it, and summoned the reaper. I hope network executives will start using data from TiVo and other DVRs to determine viewership. A more accurate sample would increase their revenue, and give us more of what we want.

Luckily, a group of dedicated fans have - after a year of work - brought life back to Farscape. Half of all Farscape viewers were women - are you one of them? :) If not, you must have not seen Ben Browder in leather pants.

Congrats, Ammit.

That's the cleanest answer to that question I have ever seen.

Oh yes, I said I wanted my hairdresser to make me look like Sputnik and that I'm strangely attracted to Scorpius. I am sick and should be locked away where I can't do myself or anyone else any harm.
