The unofficial fansite for the television show Blade: The Series.

I don’t know why, but I’m constantly surprised and impressed at the turnout we have each week for the poll. It just goes to show how much the fans of the show truly enjoyed the series. The latest poll also shows, however, that most of the Blade fans aren’t really fans of much else on Spike TV.

How Many Shows (other than Blade) Do You Watch on Spike TV?
none: 68% (95)
1: 13% (18)
4+: 9% (12)
2: 8% (11)
3: 2% (3)
Total Votes : 139

68% of you don’t watch anything on Spike TV now that Blade’s gone. That’s about what I would have predicted. Many fans of the show believe that Blade just wasn’t a good fit for the network. With so many voters saying that they don’t watch anything else on Spike, it would definitely seem that the network may not have been the best home for the show.

I’m actually a bit surprised that 9% of you watch 4+ shows on Spike. I don’t know if I could even name that many shows. I do love The Ultimate Fighter, so I did mark down 1 for me.

It’s really is a shame that Spike finally decided to try out an original series (that wasn’t a reality show) and it didn’t survive. With many networks choosing the cheaper (and often safer) routes of just airing reruns and reality shows, I think all TV fans suffer when an original series dies.
