Some folks have come to like playing "The Elimination Game" in our comments section for the Renew/Cancel Index posts, now you've got a post all your own to do it in.
If you're among the first people reading this post, and don't know how to play, hang on and I'm sure someone will explain it in the comments soon enough.
Go for it!

@Nick: Almost thought you had made a mistake – then I saw you already did your Fox vote.
@Everyone new to the game, here are the rules (for those who need to know or maybe just forgot):
Each show on the networks (only the ones that have already series-premiered, or will be definitely returning later in the fall*) will be listed with 25 points each. Give points to your favorite shows, take away from your un-favorites. Points will be given as follows: +3, +2, +1, -1, -2, and -3. (You must make each one or your vote is invalid.) When a show reaches 0 points, it is eliminated. If a show reaches 100 points, it will be “locked” and set aside in the Victor’s Village, until there is only one non-victor show left, and these will be reset to 10 points for the Winners’ Circle and final votes. Once you make a vote, wait at least 24 hours before making your next one.
And, if cheating is detected(which is rare, but usually pretty obvious), the suspect “votes” will be disqualified and the totals reset to the most recent valid vote (even if the cheater(s) managed to eliminate a show.) No exceptions! Remember, this is just for fun, to show which shows are our favorites. Don’t ruin it!
* Exceptions to the “series premiere” rule include all CW series (save HoD and SPN of course), Nashville, Chicago Fire (they both premiere tomorrow anyway), and any returning series with a definite fall premiere date (Suburgatory, HE, Apt. 23, LMS). So no Malibu Country, BoP, Unforgettable, Touch, Community, Smash, and Whiney.
Previously there was going to be no CW game, but now that we have our own thread I believe we can do one now, without the wild fans getting offended over there. So:
NIKITA – 26 (+1)
GOSSIP GIRL – 22 (-3)
HART OF DIXIE – 25
EMILY OWENS, MD – 25
90210 – 24 (-1)
SUPERNATURAL – 28 (+3)
ARROW – 27 (+2)
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – 23 (-2)
From SPN 8.01 “We Need To Talk About Kevin” -
Sam: It’s a burger.
Dean: It’s a treasure.
@KJ Styles: Although I’m sure we can all get which network’s game you’re playing by which shows you list, could you please make sure you start your post by specifying the network, for clarity’s sake? Thanks.

Hey! The site ate my quarter!

@Ricky et al
I’m glad you got a place to hang your hat this season for the game … it’s not my cuppa but I hope you and all the other participants have a blast through out the season.
Bonne chance
