Paste BN’s 21st Annual Save Our Shows Poll Opens for Voting
Paste BN launched its 21st annual Save Our Shows poll today, giving TV fans the opportunity to vote to support shows that are hovering between renewal and cancellation. Fans have a few weeks to cast their ballot for their favorite of the 30 scripted network series “on the bubble” this year.
Last year’s Save Our Shows drew a record turnout of nearly 150,000 votes, and the top pick, NBC’s Timeless, ended up being rescued from cancellation. NBC decided to bring back Timeless for a second season in the wake of fan outcry over its initial decision to drop the series.
Broadcast networks ultimately consider many factors when determining their TV lineups, but no matter the decisions of networks, Paste BN’s Save Our Shows gives fans a prominent outlet to express their support for the TV programs that matter the most to them.
The 30 TV shows “on the bubble” this year are:
