Huckleberry of Mountain Monsters wins Best Beard in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Huckleberry of Mountain Monsters wins Best Beard in the 2013 Viewers Voice Awards, Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. When it came to the bearded boys, length definitely wasn’t an asset. Instead you found the cleaner, shorter, fuller beard preferable, as Mountain Monsters’ Huckleberry got top votes followed by Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson. Best Beard — Winner: Huckleberry Huckleberry/Mountain Monsters 44.1% Willie Robertson/Duck Dynasty 33.7% Robert Munson (Mark Boone Junior)/Sons of Anarchy 9.8% Hart Fortenbery/Deep South Paranormal 5.8% Aaron Kaufman/Fast N’ Loud 2.7% Todd Hoffman/Gold Rush 2.1% Bryan Johnson/Comic Book Men 1.9% Percentages may not total 100 due to rounding.

Dance Moms wins Best Mama Drama Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Dance Moms wins Best Mama Drama Series in the 2013 Viewers Voice Awards, Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Oh the drama! And we ain’t talkin’ traditional drama. This is the mama drama category — where we witnessed lots of finger-wagging and tongue-lashing and a whole lot of cattiness. In the end, the backstabbing, drink-throwing, solo-demanding divas of Pittsburgh’s Abby Lee Dance Company earned more mama-drama cred than all the Housewives combined. Bravo, ladies! Best Mama Drama Series — Winner: Dance Moms Dance Moms/Lifetime 36.6% Toddlers & Tiaras/TLC 24.3% Gypsy Sisters/TLC 10.2% The Real Housewives of New Jersey/Bravo 9.8% Pretty Wicked Moms/Lifetime […]

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo wins Best Redneck Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo wins Best Redneck Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards, in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. This was our closest category yet, but the Thompson/Shannon clan (that would be Alana “Honey Boo Boo Child” Thompson and her McIntyre, Ga., family — Mama June, Sugar Bear, Pumpkin, Chubbs and Chickadee) barely beat out the multi-millionaire Robertson clan for Best Redneck Series. We can’t decide if it was the neck crust or the snot-flying sneezes that gave them the edge. Best Redneck Series — Winner: Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Here Comes Honey Boo Boo/TLC 33.3% Duck […]

Lucas Hood wins Biggest Bad-Ass in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Lucas Hood wins 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Biggest Bad-Ass,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Banshee’s Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) took out the trash in the Biggest Bad-Ass category, and for good reason. On the day he gets out of the state pen, Lucas steals a car, gets in a chase and shootout in Manhattan, boosts a motorcycle, kills two guys in a bar fight and assumes the identity of small-town sheriff. Plus, Amish chicks find him irresistible. Biggest Bad-Ass — Winner: Lucas Hood Lucas Hood/Banshee 43.5% Tywin Lannister/Game of Thrones 12.1% Walter White/Breaking Bad 12.1% Michonne/The Walking […]

Abby Lee Miller wins Biggest Bitch in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Abby Lee Miller wins the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Biggest Bitch,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Given the number of viewers who returned week after week to our online Dance Moms recaps to voice their hatred of her ill-tempered ways, we weren’t surprised that Abby Lee Miller took the Biggest Bitch title for the second year in a row. But you have to hand it to her — being the dance diva we love to hate the most earned Miller her very own show, Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition. Biggest Bitch — Winner: Abby Lee Miller Abby Lee […]

Sharknado wins Most Outrageous Syfy Movie Title in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Sharknado wins 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Most Outrageous Syfy Movie Title,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Syfy’s Sharknado not only devoured the competition but also swallowed up social media the night of its premiere. The made-for-TV monster-disaster movie centered around a series of cyclones that hurled sharks into the Los Angeles area. The film was the most-discussed program of the night on Twitter, generating over 300,000 tweets — at its peak it was 80 tweets per second. Now there are T-shirts — “I Survived Sharknado” — and talks of a sequel. Most Outrageous Syfy Movie Title — Winner: […]

Graceland wins Best New Series in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Graceland wins 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Best New Series,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. It was a crowded field for new series but USA Network’s Graceland (from White Collar’s Jeff Eastin) was the standout. The series was the No. 1 new scripted series of the summer and was renewed for a sophomore season. Best New Series — Winner: Graceland Graceland/USA Network 49.3% Banshee/Cinemax 39.0% Devious Maids/Lifetime 3.7% Bates Motel/A&E 1.8% King & Maxwell/TNT 1.4% Vikings/History 1.4% Ray Donovan/Showtime 1.2% The Americans/FX 1.1% Orphan Black/BBC America 0.6% Da Vinci’s Demons/Starz 0.3% Rectify/Sundance Channel 0.2% Percentages may not total 100 […]

Rizzoli & Isles wins Best Cop Show in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Rizzoli & Isles wins Best Cop Show in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards. Can’t say we were surprised by this one, even with such a strong field. The lady-buddy drama starring Angie Harmon as tough-cookie cop Jane Rizzoli and Sasha Alexander as family-tormented medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles is TNT’s top-rated show of all time and the No. 2 scripted series in the history of ad-supported cable television, bested only by our Best Drama winner The Walking Dead. Best Cop Show — Winner: Rizzoli & Isles Rizzoli & Isles/TNT 87.6% Major Crimes/TNT 3.3% Graceland/USA Network 2.7% Southland/TNT 2.6% Boston’s […]

The Walking Dead wins Best Drama in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

The Walking Dead wins 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Best Drama,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. AMC’s iconic zombie show has braaaaaains and brains to spare, never allowing the most ardent student of show creator Robert Kirkman’s comic book series that inspired it or the most avid viewer of the show to figure what’s going to happen next. Or who is going to die. Simply put, though we’ll never experience what the Grimes Crew endures, The Walking Dead’s ability to make us endlessly contemplate our own actions in the direst of circumstances is utterly unnerving — and completely […]

Chasing Nashville premieres Oct. 22 on Lifetime

With country music hopefuls routinely besting their pop-oriented rivals on singing competitions like The Voice and American Idol, it’s no wonder Lifetime has turned its cameras on young girls hoping that they’re next Carrie Underwood. Chasing Nashville, which premieres Tuesday at 10pm ET/PT, focuses on a group of Appalachia-based warblers as they navigate family pressures, teenage drama and self-doubt for a shot at working with some of Nashville’s top producing talent. • Miss the premiere? Read the catch-up here If the pilot is any indication, Chasing Nashville isn’t quite as over-the-top as the network’s Dance Moms — but with plenty […]
