New Poll: How Many Shows (other than Blade) Do You Watch on Spike TV?

The big reason Blade: The Series wasn't picked up for a second season was that there weren't enough viewers. This can be blamed on many things, marketing, time slot, the actors, or even that the show just wasn't good enough.

Another reason, however, could have been that Spike just wasn't the right network for the show. There's not absolute way of determining the importance of the network the show aired on, but one thing I'd like to know is how many other shows you watch on Spike.

Thus, this week's poll is born. I don't ask for specifics, just a number. Be sure to not count Blade - so only answer how many shows you watch on Spike that are not Blade.

The poll will last until Tuesday so be sure to get your vote in by then.

update: I deleted and re-added the poll a couple hours after this post due to me forgetting to add a "0" option. Thanks to Colleen for pointing that out. If you had voted before that option existed, you'll have to vote again. I apologize for the inconvenience.

    Hi Squirrel, Hope your vacation was good! I, as usual, like the new poll. Although I would have included '0' as an option. I think that choice would have garnered the greatest numbers.

    Thanks for pointing that out Colleen! I have updated the post saying that the poll has been updated. When re-adding the poll I found out that I didn't forget the "0" option. What happened is that the poll plugin that I use automatically ignores options that say "0". It's a really weird bug, so I've added "none".

    Hi Squirrel...I just noticed at the top of your web pages you still reference Spike TV. Maybe, considering the poll and the results thus far, you might want to remove the acknowledgement? Yeah, they gave us Blade the Series, but then they took it away!

    I watch NO other spike tv programs. As has been pointed out at the comicmonsters.com forums, spike is the lowest veiwed cable network (no need to mention the least critically acclaimed as well lol) blade was just too much of a high class show for spike, so they had to drop it. When they did, they lost plenty of veiwers.

    That's a good point Colleen. I'll probably change it this weekend. Thanks.

    I loved blade the series. At first I was a little skeptical with the new actor playing blade, but he grew on me. The only reason I knew the show was coming was because they ran a commercial on the scifi channel for about a week. If not for that I never would have known about it. I wish they would make the second season.
