PEEL viewers' greatest episodes (group consensus)

[Reply #200 on:]

This is pathetic. I know there are more than fourteen regular posters in offtopic. Vote dammit!!!!

[Reply #201 on:]

I voted, but yeah, most all the "consensus" good episodes are already considered top 7.  Now we're just nitpicking.

I'm SpaceMaN and I approve this message.

Yeah!

[Reply #203 on:]

If we're nitpicking at 8th episode, what's gonna happen when we get to the 43rd episode? 75th episode? I'd like to think I won't be doing that until at least 30th episode lol.

[Reply #204 on:]

There are still plenty of very good episodes.  One example that is not on the current ballot is "Prisoner of Benda", among many others.  But the problem is that the top half-dozen episodes left are all almost equal to each other in quality, so a clear winner ain't gonna happen.

One problem is that there are different aspects that an episode can be excellent in: funniest, most emotionally moving, best science fiction, best relationship episode, most spectacular animation, etc. and people rate these qualities differently from each other, so their choices for best episode overall will differ.

[Reply #205 on:]

For me it was clearly WNFHGB. That one's in my top five.

[Reply #206 on:]

ok...there seems to be a tie here after 25 votes (and a close vote overall), so I am going to have an OVERTIME voting round between Space Pilot 3000 and Where No Fan Has Gone Before.  The winner of this vote wins this round for 8th best episode overall.

Get voting!

[Reply #207 on:]

Any more votes beyond the initial 7 for the tie-breaking round?

[Reply #208 on:]

lol, tied again. It's the December 2010 POTM poll all over again.

[Reply #209 on:]

lol...and I thought one was finally starting to take the lead yesterday.
no, there will not be a tie-breaking, tie-breaker round.

[Reply #210 on:]

Good...not tied.  If there are no more votes before tonight, I will close the poll and then we can move on.

[Reply #211 on:]

So does this mean Space Pilot 3000 is the 8th best Futurama episode, and Where No Fan Has Gone Before is the 9th best Futurama episode?

[Reply #212 on:]

Morbo Demands to know!

[Reply #213 on:]

I'll admit I've been pretty busy...I will get to it soon...I hope.  And then the site crash happened.

Since I am going to be out all day today and tomorrow, I am just going to close the poll and state Space Pilot 3000 won.  When I get back, I'll officially give all the stats from this round.

However, start stating what episodes you would like to see in the poll for the 9th best episode of all time.

So does this mean Space Pilot 3000 is the 8th best Futurama episode, and Where No Fan Has Gone Before is the 9th best Futurama episode?

No, you will still have to nominate that episode for voting in the next round.  I'll give more details as to why later when I have more time if you want.

[Reply #214 on:]

Amazon Women In The Mood will probably do well in the voting so I nominate that one.

[Reply #215 on:]

FHM: Every time an episode wins, can you paste the past winners so we don't renominate?

[Reply #216 on:]

I'll go ahead and nominate Where No Fan Has Gone Before.

[Reply #217 on:]

Second.

[Reply #218 on:]

Third. I was going to nominate that but I misread because to me it looked like AdrenalinDragon was going to do it

[Reply #219 on:]

I would like to nominate "A Fishful of Dollars" to the poll for ninth when this poll is closed.

But WNFHGB is though high on my list of "best" episodes.

Yeah, It's pretty much the same, but we've got nominate more episodes. We can't have just 2 to vote for. 

[Reply #220 on:]

surely we should soon have gone out through most of the episodes? hehe

[Reply #221 on:]

FHM: Every time an episode wins, can you paste the past winners so we don't renominate?

I get detailed after every round but I've just been lazy and then busy (and I figured you wanted to get to the next nomination set).  But as I stated, I will give more details soon...this is what happens when you work 5 straight days coupled around a site crash and a trip.

No, No, No. That won't do. You must spend all your available time here on PEEL.  However, my nomination stands. 

[Reply #223 on:]

Do I get paid? 

[Reply #224 on:]

Do I get paid?  

Oh my yes. Give me your account number at BAB [Big Apple Bank], And I'll give you some monye. Yes, monye.

[Reply #225 on:]

I know the pin number...!

Actually, that was my pin number. Seriously. But I don't have that account anymore so joke's on you!!! I should not have said anything. >_> <_<

[Reply #226 on:]

ok....here is the information you requested:

After 19 votes, the winner for the 8th best Futurama episode of all time is:
Space Pilot 3000 with 12 votes (63.2%).
Where No Fan Has Gone Before had 7 votes (36.8%)

For the main round of voting, we had:

After 25 votes:
Space Pilot 3000 had 7 votes (28%)
Where No Fan Has Gone Before had 7 votes (28%)
Jurassic Bark had 4 votes (16%)
Time Keeps on Slippin' had 4 votes (16%)
The Why of Fry had 3 votes (12%)


So to recap, voted the best Futurama episode of all time: Roswell that Ends Well
The 2nd best Futurama episode of all time: The Luck of the Fryrish
The 3rd best Futurama episode of all time: The Sting
The 4th best Futurama episode of all time: The Late Philip J Fry
The 5th best Futurama episode of all time: Parasites Lost
The 6th best Futurama episode of all time: The Farnsworth Parabox
The 7th best Futurama episode of all time: The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings
The 8th best Futurama episode of all time: Space Pilot 3000

Now it is time to state your vote for the 9th best Futurama episode of all time (with Roswell that Ends Well, The Luck of the Fryrish, The Sting, The Late Philip J Fry, Parasites Lost, The Farnsworth Parabox, The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings, and Space Pilot 3000 obviously being out of vote consideration).

Remember (again), if you want your choice of episode in the poll, you need to state your opinion...especially if it is not normally considered a top 10-15ish episode....a lone nomination for an episode out of this range usually does not garner inclusion in the poll.

[Reply #227 on:]

I will reopen the poll soon with:
Where No Fan Has Gone Before
Amazon Women in the Mood

And then someone needs to pick 2 of these 3 episodes for inclusion (since they got a good number of votes last round and only 2 top 20 rated episodes have been nominated thus far).
Jurassic Bark
The Why of Fry
Time Keeps on Slippin'

Once 2 more episodes are chosen, the poll will open for voting.

[Reply #228 on:]

Anyone want to pick the last 2 episodes from the provided list, or do I need to pick them myself?

[Reply #229 on:]

I'll pick two for you if Amazon Women in the Mood is removed from the list entirely.

Meh, never mind. How do Why of Fry and Jurassic Bark sound?

[Reply #230 on:]

It must surely be the time to nominate Mr. Verrone's best episode...

A Fishful of Dollars!

I pick Time Keeps on Slippin'. If I'm not mistaken, it tied with either WNFHGB or Jurassic Bark at the end of the last poll.

[Reply #232 on:]

LOL....one vote for each episode.  I'll just choose and try to get the poll up tomorrow if things stay this way.

[Reply #233 on:]

ok...poll finally up.  Get voting!

[Reply #234 on:]

Time... Keeps On...

MY GAWD, KEN KEELER IS THE GREATEST TELEVISION WRITER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to go out on subtle note, Slippin'. 

[Reply #235 on:]

Once again, I voted for Time Keeps on Slippin'.

I expect a big rush of "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" voters, though...

[Reply #236 on:]

Well, right now it only has 2 votes....after having 7 (and then 7 in the tie-breaking round) votes last round.

[Reply #237 on:]

Ok...we seem to be stuck on 14 votes...if there are no new votes, I will close the poll tomorrow (hopefully).

[Reply #238 on:]

Well, I made my fortnightly foray into on-topic, so now there are 15 votes as of the time I write this.
