The voting took place in late October and fans were allowed to vote multiple times. Thanks to a very coordinated online fan effort, Supernatural fans were very determined to win this cover, spending hours voting online each day. The word was spread by fan sites like this one and through Facebook, Twitter, emails, texts, and whatever means necessary to remind fans daily to vote.
This is not just a victory for "Supernatural," this is a victory for the fans that have long stood by their under-the-radar show. You don't know how many times I've heard through the years covering Supernatural the fans cry out in frustration that their show again didn't make the cover while other CW shows like "Gossip Girl" and "The Vampire Diaries" got their turn. Even the special TV Guide covers of Warner Brothers shows issued at Comic Con this past July didn't include "Supernatural."
So, remember this mock cover that we cheekily circulated on this site last summer? We won't have to do these fake ones anymore.
Congratulations Supernatural and most importantly, congratulations fans. You earned this!

Once it was done I went to supernaturaltv and read the comment thread and some of the fans would vote almost 100 times, take a break and then do it again. I really, really, really hoped we'd win and whew thanks to all the amazing efforts of the fans, we did!
Hooray for us and extra hooray for Supernatural.
Gotta say, our mocked up cover is pretty darn cool!
We did it !
It reminded me of a poster I once saw

Now let's see if we can do the same for The People's Choice Award: http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/vote/votenow.jsp?category=&pollId=&optionId=
I was like you Elle2, I made sure I voted every day about 10 to 20 times each as time would allow. Every vote counted!
Now, as TV Guide doesn't print hard copy in Canada anymore, who can I bribe (and with what) to get one and mail it to me??
Way to go Supernatural Fans!!
I'm going to ask a friend of mine to mail me the magazine and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I'm a TV Guide subscriber, but I think I'm gonna have to buy an extra copy or two....
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How great is our show and - drums ....
how great are we the fans?????
We are awsome!
Now let's hope this will do something to the ratings and get some more people interested in it.
Unfortunatly we can't by the TV guide here in Germany not even on our international press stores. :cry::
Just one more time cause it sounds so good
We are awsome

prettily airbrushed. But that is a small nitpick and it is about time that the boys got their chance. They certainly deserve it!
Also, I am curious to know what's happening off to the left there that's so interesting to Jensen...
I thought Misha was going to be in the cover, so the picture that they had in the cover poll its not the picture that is going to be in the tvguide cover?.
Now onto the People's choice awards, there is no competition.
True Blood and Vampire Diaries are Buffy wannabes.
Smallville should have ended a long time ago.
wtf is Fringe.
SUPERNATURAL is the best show with the best fans.
Hey, lady, you get Alice your e-mail address and let her send it to me. I'll e-mail you and then we can figure out how I can get you the Supernatural TV Guide. I'd be happy to help you out!!!
Elle2
Congrads to the fans and show, it's about time!!!
will pick up xtra copies for family and friends!!
what a great way to end a monday!!
can't wipe off this silly grin
Enjoy.
Yes, I found out that Supernatural won the TV Guide cover weeks ago. I'm really good at keeping secrets, aren't I?
I am just so happy I will never stare again and again at the capcha box again. EVER!
Did people read that article?
... The meta episode. That is just... :shock:
(and for those of you who knew and kept it a secret... evil I say! ... or just really good... :mrgreen: )

Just found out about the TV Guide cover! (ya late, I know) I'm so happy right now. I didn't spent hours voting but I did vote, a lot! I only wish I could get my hands in one of those copies, sometimes living in this side of the ocean sucks big time, you guys over there always get the good stuff!
This fandom rocks! Big time!
And Alice, weeks???? Don't know how you do it but you're great at keeping secrets!! Congrats!
This is wonderful and about time.
I voted a few times myself but not nearly as much as others.
Kudos and thank you to all those that tirelessly voted.
I got in a couple of more votes to The Peoples Choice Awards today, so lets keep our fingers crossed on this one too.
Also a huge big “Congratulations” to you too Alice.
That is absolutely fantastic and what a thrill that they interviewed you.
You sneaky thing! 8-)
I’m so happy for you.:D
