So with the buzz, and with NY and NE playing, next year will make the SB even bigger because of what happened this year. And to say how could it get better? Well are you asking as a fan of the NFL, because I have been rooting for NE to lose, so I didn't want them in the SB, and I wanted to GB to win because I hate Eli. But asking the NFL, they love it, and so will NBC, because they have next year's SB.
Why would next year's SB would be bigger? I don't get it. NE has broken all the records, no matter what happens there won't be as much buzz
The ad rates for the Super Bowl are always rising. The Super Bowl is so big that it doesn't matter about the match up, its the event itself. BUZZ is pretty much the same each year.
That's not true. Just the fact a match was broadcasted at the same time on 3 networks shows this year is out of the ordinary
once again robert shows off his overwhelming knowledge of american sports by calling a football "game" a "match". I bet Tom Brady can't wait to get out on the pitch and fire a googly through the wicket! This is where I'd put one of those winking smiley faces if I knew how.
Is there a dictionary or something? I use "football match" a lot i didn't recieve many complaints

Alien's in America is gone. Once the strike ends, it won't come back.
AiA performs poorly indeed, but if CW wants to get rid of it, why do they repeat it so much? Creatively AiA is probably the best show they have right now, in another time slot it could perform better next year.

Right now, they are probably keeping the repeats on the air Sunday because they are priming up Sunday for the time a few weeks ahead when all of the CW comedies will move to Sunday night. Besides, when Online Nation got cancelled (a mistake given the WGA strike), they had to put some half hour show on in that timeslot or expand CW Now to 1 hour (but they only had advertiser presold for 1/2 hour).
Originally posted by mushu_jj: The best part about all of this is that Life is Wild was the ONLY new show the CW launched this year that had true hit potential (ala 7th Heaven) because it could've skewed towards a wide audience. Instead, it was sent to the graveyard
The 'graveyard' was the same timeslot that 7th Heaven had the year before. If the fans of 'family soap' can't find the show when it is put in the same timeslot as the last family soap, don't blame the network. The reality is, whatever 'theoretical interest' Life is Wild had going for it, did not translate into actual viewer interest.
Come on Obveeus, 7th Heaven was an institution and even its numbers were sinking in that timeslot. Not to mention, even when the ratings were the lowest for its lead in (about 900,000 for a OTH repeat), it was still double what Life is Wild had today. You can't expect one show to perform well or to the level of a show that held the timeslot before it, especially when the show was basically cancelled for financial reasons. Had it been financially possible, I think the CW would've renewed 7th Heaven again. Why not dilute it a bit more?
Bottom line is the CW never expected Life is Wild to match 7th Heaven, especially with those lead ins.
