Poll Results: Age Before Beauty
So the results are in and it appears that most readers are relatively young. This really isn’t a surprise as the younger age groups are/were the television show’s target audience.
How Old Are You?
19 - 29: 47% (57)
30 - 39: 23% (28)
13 - 18: 18% (22)
40 - 49: 7% (8)
50 - 59: 2% (3)
12 and under: 1% (1)
70 and over: 1% (1)
60 - 69: 0% (0)
Total Votes: 120
19-29 took the biggest chunk of votes, which is how I’d thought it would go. Surprisingly, the 30 - 39 group beat out the 13 - 18 group. I was suspecting a stronger showing from the 18 and under group partly because it seemed like the show would appeal more towards that group, but also because you usually see the younger groups online more and I would have suspected more of them visiting this site.
It’s great to see one vote for each of the extremes, though hopefully the 12 and under voter isn’t much below 13.
As for me, I’m 26. I’m not sure if that comes as a surprise or not. Hopefully my writing doesn’t come off as being from a 12 year old - but then again, you never know. I, personally, have been into vampire movies and shows for as long as I can remember. The vampire movie Lost Boys actually used to be my favorite movie growing up. My fondness of vampire entertainment was my motivation to start this site (even before the show aired).
Anyway… that’s enough personal mumbo jumbo for now - back to our regularly scheduled program. Oh, and as always, thanks to everybody who participated in the poll, it’s really great to see a good turnout even after the show’s (hopefully temporary) hiatus.













Hmm.. For me I expected many more viewers in the younger demographic. I was suprised by the number of viewers over 30. I think thats great stuff. That statistic (although of course looking at a consensus of 170 people) shows me that this product appeals to not only the Blade legions but also most likely a new demographic that potentially new little about Blade the Movie.
I truly wonder of the just under 900,000 that tuned in for the finale how many of these people were fans of the Movie verse New Fans watching Blade for the first time.
Regards.
