💓 SEPTEMBER PULSE TEST IS LIVE! (Patreon)

If you only vote in one poll this month, make it this one.

🗳️ VOTE HERE:https://forms.gle/Ee44W8nhxY8mW25v8

⏰ Voting is open September 12th–15th🏆 Updated rotation announced September 15th

The Pulse Test is what determines our Top 10 Priority Rotation.

Those Top 10 shows receive the majority of our attention, appear most frequently on the schedule, and become our highest reaction priorities.

In short:

📈 Higher Ranking = More Reactions

📉 Lower Ranking = Less Frequent Reactions

⚠️ Fall out of the Top 10 = Slower Rotation

And eventually, a show can fall out of active rotation completely.

💓 WHY DO WE CALL IT THE PULSE TEST?

Because we want to get a pulse on what the current active community is most excited to watch right now.

Shows rise. Shows fall. New favorites emerge. Older favorites sometimes lose momentum.

Rather than relying on old voting data, the Pulse Test gives everyone a fresh opportunity each month to tell us what you want to see right now.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⭐ HOW TO VOTE

Rate each show from 1–5:

⭐ 1 = I don't really care

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 = I can't get enough

You do not have to vote on every show.

If you skip a show, we'll automatically count it as a 1, which makes the poll much faster to complete.

And if you've lost interest in a show, including future seasons, let your rating reflect that too!

🆕 NEW FOR SEPTEMBER: LANTERNS

🏆 Lanterns won the September New Show Poll and has officially joined the rotation!

Because it was voted in this month, Lanterns is guaranteed a Top 10 spot and is NOT at risk of being voted out during this Pulse Test. 🛡️

That also means X-Men '97 is no longer protected. It received the guaranteed spot after winning August's New Show Poll, but it now enters the Pulse Test alongside the rest of the active rotation.

We'll see where everything lands once your September votes are counted! 👀

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎬 SEPTEMBER MOVIE WINNERS

You also selected our two community movie winners for September:

🏆 Toy Story 5

🏆 Batman: Knightfall Part 1

And we're adding one more ourselves:

➕ Toy Story 4

We're genuinely not sure if we've ever actually seen Toy Story 4, so we're adding it to the lineup and finding out together. 😂

That gives us three movie additions to look forward to!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏆 CURRENT TOP 10

Here's where the priority rotation stands before the September Pulse Test:

🥇 X-Men '97

🥈 The Pitt

🥉 The Crown

4️⃣ Taskmaster

5️⃣ Doctor Who

6️⃣ Abbott Elementary

7️⃣ Veronica Mars

8️⃣ Gravity Falls

9️⃣ The Handmaid's Tale

🔟 Shameless

📌 These rankings are NOT locked.

Your September Pulse Test votes can completely reshuffle the order, and with Lanterns entering with a guaranteed Top 10 spot, at least one current Top 10 show will have to move out.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎬 FINISH LINE IN SIGHT

These shows are outside the Top 10, but they're so close to the end that we'll continue working through them at a slower pace until they're completed:

✅ Criminal Minds • 1 episode remaining

✅ Fallout Season 2 • 2 episodes remaining

✅ One Piece Season 2 • 2 episodes remaining

✅ The Rookie • 2 episodes remaining

These shows do not need to fight for a Top 10 spot to be completed.

And with all four nearing the end, we're about to open up quite a bit of room in the overall reaction schedule. 👀

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨 AT RISK OF LEAVING ROTATION

Two shows are currently sitting in our slower rotation:

📺 Shrinking • 9 episodes remaining

📺 Paradise • 7 episodes remaining

Because both have more than 5 episodes remaining, neither is guaranteed to continue.

This Pulse Test is their opportunity to earn their way back into the Top 10.

⚠️ If they don't receive enough community support to secure a spot, they are at risk of being removed from the active rotation.

So if you want us to keep going with Shrinking or Paradise, make sure your rating reflects it!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⏰ VOTING CLOSES SEPTEMBER 15TH

This is the poll with the biggest direct impact on what our reaction schedule looks like moving forward.

Voting closes September 15th, and we'll announce the updated rotation that same day.
