Big Bang SHATNER!!!

Seems like someone has grudge against 30 Rock for some inexplicable reason.

Maybe this is somewhere else on this site, but I just read that THE BIG BANG THEORY will move to THURSDAY NIGHTS, and be followed by Shatner's The SH-T MY DAD SAYS. Its a gamble, going up against NBC's comedies, but I think EARL and 3rd Rock and whatever else they have on NBC suck anyway...

Earl was cancelled last year, and 3rd Rock From the Sun hasn't been on in like a decade.

30 Rock, on the other hand, is great. Crazy. Possibly the funniest show on TV.

Big Bang theory is one of the other three comedies I watch. Good thing I just torrent everything, I don't care if they end up airing at the same time.

That's a nice thought, but I don't think it's realistic. "The Big Bang Theory" is still a very 'niche' show with a very 'niche' audience, while "Community", "Parks & Recreation", "Modern Family", "30 Rock" and "The Office" are mainstream juggernauts with much larger audiences and (I presume) much higher ratings. I like "Community" and "The Office" (not so much lately, but was a big fan for many, many seasons) and at the moment I like "The Big Bang Theory" more than any other show I've listed here, but I doubt it could make much of a dent in the ratings of those shows. I would worry that being moved to such a competitive night for television would hurt its ratings.

I take it you don't pay much attention to the ratings. The Big Bang Theory is a ratings juggernaut. It's currently the highest rated comedy on the air. Its episode this week drew 15.020 million viewers (compared to 13.279 million viewers for Two and a Half Men, which is currently the second-highest rated comedy). Modern Family is the #3 comedy, drawing 10.136 million viewers with this week's episode. The Office is NBC's biggest comedy. Its episode this week brought in 6.6 million viewers. Community, Parks & Recreation, and 30 Rock are niche shows. Their episodes this week drew 4.4 million, 4.5 million, and 5.4 million viewers respectively.

^^ Bingo!! The only reason why 30rock is still on? Its because, like BOSTON LEGAL (which I loved) its a media darling to the liberals out there (and tv insiders). It has awful ratings, and is often confused with (as I do all the time) 3rd rock from the sun, that's how 'unknown' it is.

BIG BANG THEORY is a ratings bonanza. And, its far better and funnier.

To be blunt, take your comments about "liberals" to TNZ, you sound like a douche-bag.

 

[CorporalClegg]

What about 30 Rock would "liberals" find appealing? Its a work place comedy with wacky co-workers and a crazy boss,not unlike most sitcoms.

Good question. I'm a liberal and I find nothing about it appealing.

OTOH, I loves the Big Bang.

Yeah...right. BIG BANG THEORY is going to come to thursday nights, at 8pm, and pretty much destroy NBC's 8-9 line up. Community and 30ROCK at 9-930?? HA HA HA HAH!!!. The only people who watch 30ROCK are liberal whackos (IMO) and Baldwin's family (his daughter at gun point I bet). The office? That show is running on fumes and was crushed by Survivor. CSI is going to destroy it too..

NBC??? LOL!!!

Rob

Seriously? You have to turn TV viewership into some sort of political game? You should go to TNZ for that...because honestly, it makes it hard to take your opinions seriously when you refer to people as "liberal whackos."

True..I with draw that statement. It was over-the-top. I am pretty sure that people like me who liked ALL IN THE FAMILY, back in the day, were considered liberal whackos which wouldn't have been correct either.
