History FandomRivalry / LiveActionTV

** Also in the rivalry are fans of MirandaCosgrove, which turns this into...

** ''[[Series/TwentyFour 24]]'' and ''Series/{{Lost}}'' has had an ongoing rivalry that causes many flame wars over at GameFAQs' Broadcast Television board despite the fact that the shows have ''nothing'' to do with each other.

* One particularly sad one, largely based on RealLife events, exists between fans of ten-year-old ''ShakeItUp'' actor Creator/DavisCleveland and fans of DemiLovato, largely due to comments made by Lovato in 2011 on Website/{{Twitter}} criticizing a joke about anorexia Demi witnessed on SIU. Lovato made a rhetorical Twitter post observing that DisneyChannel actresses seemed to look skinnier and skinnier, a comment that, while meant as a general statement, seemed to hurt the feelings of SIU star Creator/ZendayaColeman. Coleman's dad took to Twitter to defend his daughter, asking for an apology, and Lovato offered one and explained she had only wanted to see more diversity and acceptance in body shapes and did not mean to hurt anyone. Davis also seemed to take it hard, defensively and angrily criticizing Demi for her use of drugs and alcohol prior to stint in rehab, and accusing Demi's fans of putting her up on too high of a pedestal. These statements only seemed to inspire Demi's fans to insult and threaten Davis on Twitter regularly. Though Davis and Demi have attempted to move on, there seem to be constant flame wars and drama between "Lovatics" and Davis, and between Lovatics and Davis' fans up to mid-2012. As of this update, said drama and flame wars has long been gone, meaning either one or the other had called a truce offline.

* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' versus ''Series/StargateSG1'': because the SciFiChannel cancelled ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' and then took over ''Stargate'', with some tactless remarks about the latter show's demographic being more profitable. Calmed down a lot when Ben Browder and Claudia Black, the lead actors from ''Farscape'', joined the regular cast for the final seasons of ''Stargate'', although that caused its own problems between fans of the earlier series who didn't like the Frascape-esque feel of the final seasons, and fans who preferred the final seasons over the earlier ones.
** It should be noted that SciFi began airing ''Series/StargateSG1'' well before ''Farscape's'' cancellation, however. There was much more ire for fans of the remake of ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'', in no small part thanks to the more tactless comments by SciFi channel about the announcement of ''Battlestar'' being greenlit because the channel needed a "sexy, dark and edgy space-based science fiction drama"...right as they cancelled their ''existing'' "sexy, dark and edgy space-based science fiction drama."

* Speaking of ''Battlestar'', some fans of the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 original series]] have no love for those of the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 remake]], and continue to believe that SciFi should have made a continuation of the original series as championed by Richard Hatch instead. The teeth gnashing between the two camps began even ''before'' the new version even aired, made worse by the fact that SciFi did, at one point, publicly suggest that they would make a continuation before deciding on a remake.

*** Although that tends to be more one sided with most ''Deep Space Nine'' fans being general Trek fans as well. The serious rivalry is specifically between Next Gen's [[ContestedSequel ContestedSequels]] ''Voyager'' and ''Deep Space 9''.

** Nowhere was this more apparent than during the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, in which Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad) won "Best Supporting Actor" over Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones). According to GoT fans, Paul only won the award due to Breaking Bad being in its final season, while BB fans insist that the GoT fanbase is just overly bitter.

* ''TheMunsters'' and ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' rarely share fans. Addams' fans believe the Munsters ripped off their concept, in an unoriginal and unfunny way, while Munster fans claim the Addams are not quirky enough (because they don't have powers) to be considered the true sitcom horror family.

* ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' has the original British show versus the American version. This is a weird example a) because the British version featured tons of performers from the American version anyway (including Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops and Ryan Stiles), and b) because preferences aren't necessarily divided along national lines -- a lot of Americans like the original for the British performers and the loosely-put-together style, and a lot of British people like the American version for being more structured/streamlined/better edited. "Clive vs. Drew" is a major point of contention. One of them is definitely not funny at all... but which one is it?

** ''Heroes'' got brief kerfluffles and hate from the ''PushingDaisies'' fandom too, when ''Daisies'' got canceled and Creator/BryanFuller had to return to ''Heroes''.

*** The aforementioned ''24''/''Lost'' rivalry intensified after both shows ended only a day apart in May 2010. ''24'' fans were especially bitter, because its finale lacked the grand send off and adoration that ABC and the entertainment media gave ''Lost''. As a result, ''24'' fans made many audacious statements against ''Lost'', which included nasty presumptions against the show's narrative and its finale. Also included was a ludicrous claim that ''Lost'' would've never seen the light of day without ''24'' paving the way for edgy serialized TV, even though {{Creator/HBO}} accomplished that [[Series/SixFeetUnder groundbreaking]] [[TheCorner feat]] [[Series/TheSopranos several]] [[SexAndTheCity years]] [[Series/{{Oz}} before]] ''24'' did. If anything, ''Series/TheXFiles'' and ''TwinPeaks'' should be credited for inspiring ''Lost'' much more. Most insultingly, some ''24'' fans even suggested that ''Lost'' won't be remembered as fondly as ''24'', because it has no movie sequel in the works. People who are fans of both shows found themselves between a rock and a hard place during this time.

* Fans of ''TheSarahConnorChronicles'' and ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'' have lots of animosity between them despite the shows airing back-to-back during the former's second season and the latter's first. It started when Fox canceled ''Chronicles'' so that they could continue production on ''Dollhouse'', despite the last few episodes of ''Chronicles'' having a significant uptake in quality. Several months after the finale aired, Creator/JossWhedon announced that SummerGlau would guest star in the second season of ''Dollhouse''. ''Then'' an article was released in which he said [[http://www.airlockalpha.com/news/6583/studio-fought-hard-to-bring-dollhouse-back-joss-whedon-says.html he would've kept]] ''[[http://www.airlockalpha.com/news/6583/studio-fought-hard-to-bring-dollhouse-back-joss-whedon-says.html The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' [[http://www.airlockalpha.com/news/6583/studio-fought-hard-to-bring-dollhouse-back-joss-whedon-says.html on the air]]. Interactions between the camps are still not pretty.

*** Then there are the people who mentally block out the other series' existence entirely.

* Fans of ''Series/BreakingBad'' vs. fans of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' is rather popular, most likely due to them both being two of the biggest breakout shows of the past couple years, receiving an almost equal level of critical acclaim, and generally considered to be the two shows behind the general rise of quality of television during the 2010's. Naturally, this leads to a big debate as to which one is truly better. Nowhere was this more apparent than during the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, in which Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad) won "Best Supporting Actor" over Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones). According to GoT fans, Paul only won the award due to Breaking Bad being in its final season, while BB fans insist that the GoT fanbase is just overly bitter and just ''love'' rubbing salt in the wound every chance they get.

* Fans of ''Series/BattleBots'' and fans of ''Series/RobotWars'' do not get along very well. Any sufficiently popular [=YouTube=] video of one of those shows will eventually attract attention from fans of the other boasting that their show's robots [[MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad can annihilate the video's show's robots]]. The actual designers and builders of these robots, however, don't think that way: A lot of them will participate in both competitions (though, because of legal issues, they have to either rename their robots or use different ones, with a few exceptions). The rivalry seems to have emerged from how ''[=BattleBots=]'' builders tend to have a tough time in ''Robot Wars'' and vice versa. This is because the competitions have different rules, structure, and goals, and what works for one competition might not necessarily work for the other.

** There's a Nickeldoden civil war between people who like ''Series/{{Victorious}}'' but never liked or watched ''Series/ICarly'' and ''Series/ICarly''s existing fans who hate ''Series/{{Victorious}}''. It generally stems from Victorious being produced by the same company, using the same studio, meaning only one can be in production at one time. This immediately sliced ''Series/ICarly'' episode runs in half, then Victorious used three of the episodes of the already pitifully small 13 episode Season 4 order to make a crossover that was basically the [=iCarly=] characters being guest stars on Victorious.

* There used to be a sort of rivalry between ''Series/DoctorWho'' and ''Series/{{Primeval}}'' -- enough that ''Doctor Who'' writer Paul Cornell joked that he wasn't sleeping with the enemy by writing a ''Primeval'' episode. What made the whole thing strange was that, apart from TimeTravel, the two shows really aren't that similar to each other (although there are definitely stronger parallels between ''Primeval'' and the ''Doctor Who'' spinoff series ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'').

** The war even drags [[SoapboxSadie fan politics]] into it, with ''Elementary'' fans claiming that their show is more diverse because Watson is an Asian woman, and that ''Sherlock'' fans are a bunch of sexists and racists, and ''Sherlock'' fans claiming that ''Elementary'' turned Watson into a woman because of misplaced GayPanic, to which there are accusations of queerbaiting. It goes on. Creator/{{Steven Moffat}}'s sizable {{Fandom}}/{{Hatedom}} does not help.

* ''Any'' Franchise/StarTrek instalment will have several civil wars over it concurrently. A few of the most common ones:
** The Original Series vs The Next Generation.
** All non-Deep Space Nine series vs Deep Space Nine.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'' vs. ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', on account of ''B5'' fans accusing ''Deep Space Nine'' writers of ripping off their show. (For their part, the writers have accepted that they were probably at least "drinking from the same well", as it were.) This one isn't so terrible, as the styles are similar, and less-rabid fans of each are willing to concede that the other is a good show.[[note]]B5 fan: "Because it stole everything from ''our'' show!" [=DS9=] fan: "It did not!" B5 fan: "Did too!" [=DS9=] fan: "Did not!"... and you can see where we're going with this.[[/note]] Both groups, incidentally, tend to like the rebooted ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica|2003}}'', which can be seen as a refinement of the style these two shows started.

* The British ''Series/TopGear'' vs. the American ''Series/TopGearUS''. Go to the Top Gear Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TopGear channel]], pick out a video of the US version, any video, and look at the like/dislike score for [[HateDumb some of the most blatant click-bombing you will ever see in your life]].

* ''Series/BabylonFive'' vs. ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', on account of ''B5'' fans accusing ''Deep Space Nine'' writers of ripping off their show. (For their part, the writers have accepted that they were probably at least "drinking from the same well", as it were.)

** It should be noted that SciFi began airing ''Series/StargateSG1'' well before ''Farscape's'' cancellation, however.

Interactions between the camps are still not pretty.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' vs ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' to some degree. There are plenty of Browncoats in the ''Buffy'' fandom, but there is also a faction that hates ''Firefly'' because they feel that when JossWhedon left to work on ''Firefly'', ''Buffy'' suffered irreparably.

** Fans of the various Star Trek TV series and movies 1-10 vs fans of the Abrams movie.

* ''Series/{{Victorious}}'': Victorians (fans of VictoriaJustice) vs. Arianators (fans of Music/ArianaGrande). Despite both girls starring on the same show, a lot of Arianators see Victoria as being overly AdoredByTheNetwork, often stating that Ariana is a much more talented. Likewise, a large portion of Victorians can't stand Ariana, calling her "fake" and "annoying", among other things. When Victoria and Ariana had their Twitter fight in early February 2013, tensions between the fandoms escalated to all-out war that lasted several days. It was only during the 2014 Kids Choice Awards had the two posted proof that the feud was done with and are back on good terms.

* One particularly sad one, largely based on RealLife events, exists between fans of ten-year-old ''ShakeItUp'' actor Creator/DavisCleveland and fans of DemiLovato, largely due to comments made by Lovato in 2011 on Website/{{Twitter}} criticizing a joke about anorexia Demi witnessed on SIU.

As of this update, said drama and flame wars has long been gone, meaning either one or the other had called a truce offline.

* ''{{CSI}}'' and ''{{CSINY}}'' fans vs ''CSIMiami'' fans. There is a lot of interconnectedness among the franchise fans, and many like all 3 series or get along fine with those who prefer only one or two,but many fans of the other two hate on Miami because they don't like Horatio/David Caruso. Then there are the original franchise lovers who feel the spinoffs could never compare to Vegas.

** The rivalry between fans of New Who and Old Who. Go on any Doctor Who forum you will see wars over which one is better. Old Who fans think that New Who is too dramatic, too emotional, not "Sci-Fi" enough, too angsty, too romantic, etc. New Who fans find Classic Who too slow and boring, too cerebral, not dramatic enough, somewhat sexist in its handling of female companions, etc. Old Who fans seem more vocal about it though. Plus there are TONS of fans who like both.
