No, FX and USA actually get GOOD ratings.

I would compare the CW and MyTV to WE (Womens Entertainment) and CSPAN.

What's the difference between My Network TV and the CW? Since they are both so small why is the CW ratings part of the ratings race and the My Network TV not? Is it a cable channel like FX or USA?

Thanks!

crossing fingers for SN's numbers......

No, I have to have a needle stuck into my eye at that time.

There's still the other eye. We can work around the lack of peripheral vision.

Nah...not true. I just didn't like it last season. And I still say Tina Fey is no Mary Tyler Moore, but I laughed out loud yesterday watching it.

I think Marc has actually liked 30 Rock all along. His bashing of the show last year was simply a way to increase posts on the site by 30 Rock lovers. Now that he is getting plenty of posts he could come out of the closet.

CSI won households again but Greys will likely dominate the 18-49s.

Where is the line drawn between dominating and just winning???

TV - I'd like to request a 30 Rock Mini-billboard for Marc to accompany his current signature.

I think that when you're a hot, 4-year-old show that gets a craload of attention in magazines and on entertainment shows, getting beat by a supposedly "tired" 8-year-old show in any form is embarassing. Beating them in the 18-49s is winning, not dominating, because you should win in the younger demos.

But I would say that if they're more than 2 points above, it's dominating, but still not surprising.

The PD voiceovers are by some guy with a snotty British accent who has absolutely no role in the plot. He's just--there. Why? No reason.

He doesnt have a role in the plot, because it is supposed to be told in a fairytale like way, and fairytales are usually narrated by some guy(usually a guy) who has nothing to do with the plot

quote:

Most people are going to hate it--more and more with every passing week.

you are not most people, you are one (lame) person, how do you know most people hate it? did you ask everyone who watched the show

quote:

There's an old axiom in TV--"Show, not tell". Narration breaks that rule, but on most shows it isn't used to tell the story, but to provide a kind of wry ironic commentary ON the story. The shows that employ it mainly don't rely on it to explain stuff to us viewers that shouldn't need to be explained, if the scriptwriter knew how to do his job right.

So I can understand why Fuller doesn't use it that way.

again, it is told in that way so it sounds like a fairytale, and you say narration is best used when it isn't used to tell the story, but to provide a kind of wry ironic commentary ON the story, then how come people hate greys voiceovers, which isnt used to tell the story, while show shows like DH and EHC use the narration to tell the story, and many people like it

Admit it, TV-aholic, your opinion of Marc went down at least a little bit when he said he liked 30 Rock.

What's the difference between My Network TV and the CW? Since they are both so small why is the CW ratings part of the ratings race and the My Network TV not?

CW and MNTV are both broadcast channels. CW is slightly less watched that Univision (the 5th most watched broadcast channel) but CW is still much more viewed than MNTV. As for why Marc covers CW and not MNTV, I'll give 3 reasons:

1. The primary reason is that MNTV does not have Nielsen release their daily ratings and demos so the info isn't always readily available.

2. CW gets coverage because of predigree. The merging of UPN and WB is a story of network survival/interest. Meanwhile, MNTV is the FOX owned station leftouts from that merger trying to quickly slap together something and call it 'network programming'.

3. MNTV is still not very popular, so if Marc covered it he might feel obligated to cover PBS and Telemundo and such other, smaller broadcast netwroks.
