But not a failure either like NA.

A show you've never watched, Zitrone, and yet you are constantly dwelling on its basic unworthiness, and the need for its immediate cancellation.

You hater.

Along with Dirty Sexy Money and possibly Pushing Daisies.

Renewal after 9-13 eps doesn't mean much of anything.

Except that I'm going to be having a lot of fun here next season.

No, that's your specialty. I did watch the pilot; and the ratings speak for themselves anyway.

Not so special anymore.

Zitrone! You can't possibly judge the worth of a show by watching just one episode! I'm surprised at you!

Ah--so you can tell it's a bad show because it gets bad ratings. I can't say I agree with that opinion, given my admiration for The Wire, but I respect your right to think otherwise.

So I guess PD and SCC started out as really good shows, and got worse every week?

Wonder how much worse they'll get next Fall?

Is there any way you could keep feeding me straight lines for the rest of the afternoon? Slow day at work.

You got that backwards, Friday is not exactly the best night to get high ratings. Put ML in a competitive slot and it could reach 9m, but would do worse than most CSI hits.

That makes no sense at all... It pulls 7M on a night with no competition and a great lead-in. You stick it somewhere to fend for itself and it would surely do worse, maybe 5 or 6M. That's not a judgment against the content of the show, as I watch it myself, but it's not been an easy sell outside it's loyal fan base, it seems.

Looking at the numbers, NA is headed to Fridays next season. 6.6 mil and 2 demo would be a dream for FOX Fridays. BBT's numbers look even worse in comparision to the rest of the night.

I highly doubt NA would pull that on Fridays against SciFi's popular dramas that tend to air on that night (or did in the past). Regardless of whether they are strong or not, the show won't do that well there.

Actually, since Bones seems destined for Friday, I think a Bones/NA combo could do quite well on Friday nights.

We were talking about the ratings, what I think about the series doesn't mattrr. But go ahead and defend NA, the 2.0 demo show... then in the same breath call for SCC and PD cancellation.

I'm ALWAYS talking about the ratings, and you keep calling me a hater.

Oh right, because I've been such a huge NA booster. You really don't understand what's going on here, do you?

I'm not calling for it. I'm just WAITING for it. I can wait a little longer, if FOX and ABC want to throw away some more money.

I'm pretty sure I've seen less of NA than you have. But let's just say, if I had to spend the rest of my life watching NA, PD, or SCC, and slitting my wrists wasn't an option...
