Totally different program than Supernatural. Reaper doesn't take itself too seriously. You're right in that it will probably not last, but as long as its retention is good, it will last the season. Its not like the CW has much else to air. quote: Originally posted by pisher: quote: The CW's Reaper was classic last night. The storyline was much better than week two. Here's to it going back to growing out of lead in B&tG, which deserves kudos for growing week to week by a solid margin. I think as people tire of the NBC block and ABC's wretched comedies it may grow into the mid-3 million viewer level. That would probably warrant a new season.
I tried watching a bit last night--I'm not sure 'classic' is the word I'd use. It's not offensively bad, but it's also not particularly good. You know one problem? CW already has a show about young people hunting demonic beings--it's called Supernatural. Yeah, I know, this is a different approach. And thus far, an approach people don't seem to like as much. I can't say as I much care when or if CW cancels it. I remain more interested in how long it will take for CW to get canceled.

I think Kid Nation will go 1st...it's dragging down the entire night. quote: Originally posted by WelcomeToK-Ville: Unfortunately, due to it's time slot, network expectations, competition, and relative standing, Cane is in a lot more trouble than most new shows. They were expecting a competitor in it's timeslot and they didn't get it. Either Cane or Kid Nation is going this week. It depends on which one does worse relative to the competition. quote: Originally posted by robert: quote: Originally posted by spotupj:
As with K-Ville, Cane is "stable," but I don't know how important "stable" is when you're stable at an unacceptable number. Both of them may have bought one more (relatively undeserved) airing in their original slots, but they need to start going up.
Fox and Boston Legal look fine, and that's increasingly becoming all that matters to me on Tuesday. BL will drop below the 11 mil mark with the 2-minute Dancing overrun, though.
These days 9 million should be an accaptable number.

Caveman and Carpoolers just need a few more viewers and they will be in HIMYM and BBT territory.

Boston Legal fans should be pleased with that number, isn't that a season high?
But, the season has only been on for 3 weeks. So, yes, I think it is. Look for the number, though, to go down to last week's numbers after the finals are posted. Which is not dissapointing at all, considering, as pointed out earlier, this is one show that has remained steady from last season while most other returning shows have fallen a bit. So.....I say, as a BL fan, I am pleased, even if I wish the demo were a bit higher. I probably worry more about that than ABC! |

Exactly the opinion I had about Reaper, and regarding "the people don't seem to like as much" comment... let's see how well SPN does in the upcoming weeks. I don't think it's premiere cleared 3 million, which means Reaper's topping it so far this season on average, and in the demo... with a weaker lead-in. |

I hope CBS sticks with Cane. I think it may last longer because CBS isn't in as strong of a position this year as they were last year. quote: Originally posted by nyctvdramaqueen: quote: Originally posted by TV-aholic: quote: Originally posted by nyctvdramaqueen: quote: Originally posted by TV-aholic: quote: Second was ABC’s Boston Legal (Viewers: 11.04 million; A18-49: 2.8/ 8),
Will be interesting to see how much of a drop BL has. DWtS did run over to 10:02pm, per my DVR/Cable online menu.
Same as last week. It will be about 10 in viewers and 2.6-2.7 in demo. Keeping in line with last season, and staying the same this season. The show is, for lack of a better word, steady!
And steady is huge right now, considering most shows are down form last fall.
I think you were right, though, with what you said before. This might be a record season in the LACK of axed shows. I think all networks will be keeping even the most challenged of ratings shows on the air for a longer period, and perhaps even, all season.

I would've done that in the beginning. Dancing skews different than the other Tuesday programs but appears to be placed at 9pm to try to prop up everything. I think ABC did this so the comedies would've had a chance to build up an 8pm audience before Idol. Too bad that plan backfired. quote: Originally posted by Seat42f:
and dont we think that at least one week ABC should do this...
8:00 DWTS
9:00 Cavemen
9:30 Carpoolers
10:00 Boston Legal
FOX has reaped the rewards of AI helping new shows so why wouldn't ABC try this with their comedies?

Yeah, but unlike those comedies, they both shed 2 million viewers in the 1st week. Tick-tock, tick-tock.

I hope KID NATION doesn't go first...it's turned out to be very entertaining and I was dead set against it over the summer because I wanted TAR back ASAP. It's well known what CBS has waiting in the wings to replace canceled shows, TAR, JERICHO and SWINGTOWN... But does anyone know what FOX ABC NBC Have ready to most likely pull off the bench once the inevitable cancellations come? |

They're not going to gain viewers. They're going to continue to go southward until ABC can't take anymore. That time will be next week because they could cost ABC the demo for the week. quote: Originally posted by vlis:

quote: Originally posted by mushu_jj: I believe GLo grew by quite a bit for the four weeks or so it aired between 8 and 8:30, and that was with the zilch in promotion ABC spent on it. quote: Originally posted by Zedman2: quote: Originally posted by WelcomeToK-Ville: I think the lead-in growth can be explained by people turning it on to get ready to watch Dancing with the Stars. quote: Originally posted by Zedman2: quote: Without the benefit of any lead-in support, week two of ABC’s Carpoolers also lost steam with 7.36 million viewers (#3) and a 2.8/ 8 among adults 18-49 (#3) at 8:30 p.m. Comparably, that was down by 1.70 million viewers and 20 percent from its week-ago premiere (Viewers: 9.06 million; A18-49: 3.5/ 9 on Oct. 2).
I think ABC has to be happy with Carpoolers and it just might get a reprieve. It gained in viewers and demo from its leadin. The week to week drop is high but considering all the hoopla surrounding Caveman last week, it may be acceptable for this week. I think the show is improving. It's been awhile since ABC has had a sitcom grow from its leadin.
Some of it yes, but I don't think they had that much growth last spring with comdies leading into the results show.
Yes, I believe, GLo did grow despite ABC's mistreatment of the show. However, with the lack of comedies on the network this has to be encouraging.

It seems that you are the only one here making any sense so far... (well... except for the Caveman thing, but I understand your need to comfort yourself with positive thoughts in your losing wager.) These dire predictions of doom and cancellations for shows that aren't losing viewers is very farfetched. Caveman, of course, will lose another 2 million next week and should be done for. quote: Originally posted by TV-aholic: quote: week three of CBS’ Cane at 9.10 million viewers and a 2.4/ 7 in the demo. Comparably, Cane was on par with its second telecast one week earlier, so this could be a positive sign. Be patient, CBS,
Leveling off is something SMITH or 3lbs didn't do, they were continuing the downward when they were axed. I'm sure I will be proven wrong, but I have a feeling that this may be a record year for the LACK of cancelations by the nets

quote: well.... if the AVG age of tv viewers on CBS,NBC and ABC was 50 last year.... and the huge amount of tech savy people in their late 40s about to slide out of the current demo we can't be too far off from a demo adjustment...

if the avg tv age of a tv viewer isn't in the demo isnt 18-49 outdated?
Not only are they tech savey, but they are still buying items and media that use to be associated with the youth... and they have more money to spend it on.
