Results: Readers Pick Their Favorite New Show of the Fall TV Season
The fall TV season is in full swing and some new series are resonating with viewers more than others as evidenced by our readers’ poll.
We asked viewers to cast a vote for their favorite new title with a range of options across several networks and genres, including Ordinary Joe, NCIS: Hawai’i, and The 4400.
Ultimately, it was Fox‘s new drama The Big Leap that took the big lead with 34 percent of the 2,532 votes cast. The show earned 864 votes, making it the poll’s top title ahead of NBC‘s Ordinary Joe which received 26 percent with 661 votes. Not far behind is CBS‘s Ghosts which took the third-place spot at 13 percent with 330 votes.

La Brea delivered a solid nine percent with 240 votes, as does CBS’s CSI: Vegas with 134 votes and five percent of the vote, but a drastic drop in numbers begins from that point forward. Leading the pack of the back half is ABC’s The Wonder Years reboot which came in at three percent with 97 votes, followed by FBI: International at three percent with 95 votes.
Despite the NCIS franchise’s big fan base, there’s not too much love for the latest spinoff NCIS: Hawai’i which took in two percent with 70 votes. And trailing behind all other titles so far this season are zero percenters Queens (16 votes), Our Kind of People (13 votes), The 4400 (11 votes), and Legends of the Hidden Temple (3 votes).
In fairness to ABC’s Queens, it’s among one of the most recent series to premiere, so a strong fanbase could follow as it rolls out this fall. What do you think of the results? Did your favorite show take the top spot? Sound off in the comments section, below, and support your favorites by tuning in.

Why do we have to find, and then click, a link to go to yet another page to see results of this poll? Why not simply list the results in this article... which is supposed to be *about* the results???
(Also, unlike most "poll result" articles, that other page doesn't actually LIST the results.... the results may be sprinkled somewhere in the paragraphs of text, but it's not obvious. When I see headlines about a list or results of something, I want to see a list.)

I read the article and it gives the answers. The entire article is about the answers and how they rank. Nowhere in the title did it mention the word list. The results are not sprinkled in - the article is all about the results. And it was a quick read.

This article, to which we are both replying, uses the word "results" in the headline. The first paragraph mentions a "poll." To me, poll results are usually displayed in a list, especially when there are numerous contestants.
And regardless of whether or not the article is a "quick read" or has the answers, the question remains about why readers of THIS article (headlined "RESULTS: Readers pick their favorites") need to click on a link to yet another article to view those results. That seems lazy.

I like the big leap and I’m glad it got the most votes but on another article it also has the fewest viewers so doesn’t seem to jive.

2500 votes, really? That's a joke. What a waste of time

I suspect it's because you have to register to vote. I know I didn't bother.

Queens is a big money ratings disaster. Each of the three episodes has lost huge numbers with the latest airing only netting 1.25 million. Curious to see what ABC does with this money pit.
