In my best of 2008 polls, you weighed in on which shows in different genres you thought were the highlights of the year. Today, it's time to name a couple of winners: the readers' picks for the best reality show and best sci fi show of 2008. The results:
Best Reality Show of 2008
Project Runway
It may not have been the easiest year for Project Runway, but that didn't keep it from winning Buzz readers' love as the top reality show of the year. It didn't run away (. . . heh) with the category, though: So You Think You Can Dance was a strong second and had lots of vocal support in the comments. The Hills was third, despite some dispute over whether it was truly "reality" or not, and Top Chef was barely behind in fourth.
Other Bravo shows were the top write-in contenders, including The Rachel Zoe Project and Top Design.
To see the pick for best sci fi show, just read more.
Best Sci Fi Show of 2008
Fringe
Fox's newcomer Fringe won this category pretty handily, and supporters cited its steady improvement throughout the season and the hilarious Walter Bishop as their reasons for picking it. Heroes came in second, apparently shaking off its second place finish in the shows-that-need-makeovers category, and Battlestar Galactica and Supernatural weren't far behind.
The biggest write-in candidate was Lost, with lots of people making convincing cases for why the show should be considered sci fi. Other write-ins included Doctor Who? and Torchwood.

So You Think You Can Dance is still my #1. Glad it did so well in the poll.
1Yay Fringe, Heroes and Supernatural!
2I love Heroes, Dr. Who and Torchwood. I guess I will have to give Fringe a second look.
3I would’ve voted for Torchwood or Dr Who if they had been included. Don’t see why Heroes is still so popular though.
4Personally, I'm not a Fringe fan, but Torchwood makes my day, any day! Dr. Who is wonderful as well, but only when Martha isn't there. (Can't stand her. Donna was fab, and Rose was AMAZING, but Martha... she just bugs me.)
