Prizes pending as you all find errors in my tabulations.
Ash definitely wins the grand prize for his win in the Best List vote.
But since checklist finishers get an extra entry in the random prize drawing, I'll give you all a few days to find my mistakes in that area. Pretty sure it was only BobO'Link, coyoteblue, & orlmac that completed it, but speak up if I messed up please.

Trevor, great job on the results. This is really my favorite part of any challenge so thanks for all the time you put into this. And since you asked about Wonder Con but it is totally off topic I give you:

Awesome results thread, I felt really bad about missing it by two entries myself.

You did a great job on the results! This won't change much in the numbers but all 91 of my shows were first-time views (I should have said more in my list but I did * all of my shows). It would really boost our over-all percent of first-time views.

as someone said the results thread are always the best part of the challenge and you did a great job.
sadly my laptop crapped out in the begining of the month and caused me to neglect this challenge and the exploitation challenge but back on finally with a new computer to get back on the challenges
and my screenname was created as its my name terry and me and some friend in highschool were big into karate and watching old school kung fu movies and one night while drinking we gave each other awesome kung fu nicknames....and ever since iv been called terrycloth.

Thanks again Trevor! Very nice clone of Chad's results posts! That amount of work always makes for a fun read!
I'm *totally* amazed I "tied for a distant second on the Best List Poll" as I put very little effort into it. Even less so with this one than the 2 or 3 previous challenges. I keep saying I'm going to do something along the lines of what Ash does but it seems like I already spend too much time on the simple ones I currently put forward. I'd rather be watching something than working on code as I do enough of that type stuff at work (Network Admin/Lead Tech for a large school district).
As far as having a lot in common... I'm not so sure I don't feel *more* sorry for you! I know my wife would!

I need to start putting more time into my results lists. Even Trevor makes them look nicer. I don't have that graphic eye, as my watched movie lists all show.

I just wanted to make you momentarily think that. I apologize for my ruse.
I think the 8 or so people who voted all had Ash first except maybe one person, with the 2nd and 3rd place votes being spread out evenly. I think the finally tally was: 8, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1.
I spent hours fixing my own cut & paste errors as Chad's tables inside of tables confused me. I probably would have spent less time if I just did it from scratch, but then it would not have looked as good.

Best List? Wow, I'm honored. Thanks, all. And thanks to Trevor for hosting this challenge. It was one of the best yet. I completed more entries for this one than any of the others I've participated in and I still have a huge pile from this challenge I've yet to get to. Fortunately, the leftover war, western, samurai and kung fu ones are eligible for the current Historical Challenge.

Great job Trevor. As usual, I didn't get to half of what I had hoped to watch, but there's always next year.

Thanks for an awesome results thread and challenge Trevor! I obviously wholeheartedly recommend Veronica Mars, its one of my all time favorite shows, I always end up doing a marathon of it yearly... also I see that I didn't say what the *'s meant after each title but those were first time watching so of the 102 titles 37 were first time watches (the other 65 were 64 episodes of VM and 1 movie though).

Re: 2012 Action/Adventure/Crime/Mystery Challenge Results and Feedback
Thanks for all you efforts Trevor, much appreciated. Also this was the first check list I've managed to complete. I look forward to this challenge again next year.

Ash, prize going out today. Would have gone out yesterday but I was at BEA at the Javits. If I had checked your addy before I left, I would have hand delivered it on the way! LOL.
And boy did I fall off a cliff on this challenge...I was cruising at one a day which is great for me and then stopped? WTH happened to me? I don't even know. EDIT: looking at my list I realized why...I enjoyed finally discovering the Potters so much I stopped on the last one as I didn't own part two of the finale. So I couldn't watch the first part (no closure if I did). I kind of lost direction right there.
Worse, then part 2 was on HBO recently, and I DVRed it...but now I am so attached to the series I am honestly kind of melancholy to see it end and still haven't watched them.

This makes more than half of us recording first time views. Maybe next year I'll push for everyone to include that and make the stats more accurate.
Now that several days have passed and I imagine my checklist results are correct, I'll run the randomizer and post the winners of the two random prizes from GoldenWheels and Hamilton Books!
And I hope you and Ash run into each other if you're that close. I've only really met one DVDTalker in person, and they became one of my best friends and an usher at my wedding.

I actually hadn't even heard of Prometheus until last week. I'm sure I'll see it when NetFlix gets it.
Please do that. I only count FTVs for the Horror Challenge because I know Chad likes to keep score.

And if you want to make an adjustment (and it's entirely up to you), I just checked and 84/100 of my total were first time viewings.
