E! Networks/Comcast Entertainment GroupThis year's Save One Show results are in!
Which bubblicious fan-fave series came out on top? And which unrenewed cult hits made a major impact in our polls? (Hint: The CW fans are voting machines!) Plus, which at-risk network programs didn't garner enough fan support to break our top five?
Jump inside to see which show got this year's official E! Online SOS TV series life preserver...and which shows might be sinking for good:
You guys are so good. With 43.6 percent of the vote in just this round (and a four-for-four round-winning record) NBC's Chuck is once again the winner of Save One Show. And if you ask us, you guys totally saved it with your SOS votes, because according to executive producer Josh Schwartz, Chuck is coming back!
Schwartz just tweeted, "what's the square root of 25?" The answer is five, as in a fifth season, and the question is a reference Ashton Kutcher's quasi-cryptic announcement yesterday that he was joining Two and a Half Men, by way of the tweet, "What's the square root of 6.25?" Schwartz thanked you guys, the superduper Chuck fans, saying, "The passion of the CHUCK fans has been heard again...We are all truly lucky to have the greatest fan base on tv. Thank you...I will have more details soon... Very happy for the cast and crew."
Who else placed well in this final round? Here are the final-round results, plus a handful of status updates.
- Chuck—43.6%: Coming back for a fifth and final season!
- One Tree Hill—17.3%: The world demands a ninth season of life in Tree Hill, and they very well might get it.
- Nikita—7.9%: If the CW doesn't bring this rockin' series back, they crazy.
- Parenthood—6.6%: Good job, fans! A third season of the Bravermans is all but certain.
- Criminal Minds—4.9%: It's all done except the cast contracts! Come on, CBS, make Thomas Gibson happy!
- Hawaii Five-0—4.8%: Considering that CBS boss Les Moonves says the show could be a "billion-dollar franchise" for the network, H50 will get a pickup (and a fruit basket) next week at upfronts.
- Hellcats—4.4%
- Off the Map—4.2%: ABC isn't commenting yet, but this show is done. Sorry, guys.
- V—3.3%: Ditto.
- CSI: NY—2.9%: CBS should renew this. Why? Because our beloved intern Christina Dowling loves it so, that's why! (CBS is the kind of network that makes programming decisions based solely on whimsy and fandom demonstrations...Y/N?)
Network suits, take heed: The fans—the people who watch your shows, buy the DVDs and make buzz happen—have made their passions known.
Ignore them at your peril.
Congrats again to the Chuck fans on another stupendous showing!
The comments are open for your rejoicing and Snoopy dancing!
