News and ABC makes me two for two...

ABC said it will move "Life On Mars" to Wednesdays at 10 p.m. following "Lost."

KR, LOST and LoM in one day, well my Wednesdays are going to be good in 2009. This also means that PP will partner Greys in a Ugly/Greys/PP Tursday night line up, dam am good .

[wamdue]

so when is NBC going to ditch My own worst enemy?

 

[Starbreaker]

Maybe when One Tree Hill starts getting better ratings.

 

[wamdue]

I know it says season low on both theCW shows, but its a hell of alot more than its Sunday night line up. Give it two more weeks, and that will probaly happen.

I am not overly keen on the fox line up either, but those are both returning shows, so will get a full season, rather than axed half way, unlike My Own Worse Enemy.

 

[Shurik]

The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother are doing good, again. And that makes me happy.

Round-Up...

Starting with CBS who had a near perfect Monday night with TBBT and HIMYM both setting new records for the 2nd week in a row and moving DWTS down to 3rd in the demo for the 8-9 hour. Two & Half Men saw a big jump in viewers and it may be best for the season but not 100% on that and CSI Miami was strong as normal. However despite a gain in viewers from last week, CBS will not be happy with Worst Week's demo, which the comedy slot are designed to deliever and former occupants "Old Christine & soon to take back its slot "Rules of Engagement" worked much better out of Two & Half Men. I suggest switching Old Christine and Worst Week around NOW to save at least one of them.

NBC problems continue with Chuck still struggling to find an audience, Heroes losing its audience and My Own Enemey simply has no audience. Heroes is getting worrying as the demo is going down too and the show is not too cheap to make especially for NBC at the moment. I don't think for a single second that Heroes will be canned yet and will easily make a 4th season however I think NBC will make the following changes...

* Smaller Cast to focus on to save money so less new actors hired and some currents actors axed.

* 22 episode seasons or less no more 23-25

Also I think the show will fail to make it to whatever the original 5 or now 6 (due to the strike) season plan that Tim Kring had in his head and will wrap up in season 5 unless in can get back into the 10 million range simply because the show is not cheap and will be even less cheaper to make when it gets older. Another thing is NBC must move Heroes away in midseason because simply put 24 is going to KILL IT, I do think when football is done sundays would be great.

ABC and CW (though down for CW) had a mostly typical night as did FOX though I don't see the point in FOX giving SCC a full season if to waste it on friday nights and in the progress ruin Dollhouse. PB will last past midseason from what I've heard and will go on hiatus soon to return somepoint in 2009 to wrap up. Sundays 7-8 is being wasted with repeats so could try there.

 

[Captain Craig]

Yeah, for The Big Bang Theory!!!

I know it doesn't say it so what is the series or season low for Sarah Connor since that isn't it. Is it on an uptick or it just ticked up from last week. It had been on a steady downward path.

I stopped watching HEROES 2 weeks ago and don't see a reason to go back unless the show reboots somehow someway. I don't see a lure that would get me back at this point in the current status quo.

I'll probably watch CHUCK one day and like it I've just not made it a priority show. The most I've seen in one unbroken sitting is a 30min block from last year. That coupled with 10min here and there just haven't won me over. Same problem really for My Own Worst Enemy. I don't have reason to think its a bad show(has to be better scripted than Knight Rider[which I also dropped as a scheduled show]) I just haven't made time for it.

I'm looking forward to Dollhouse and hope that it and Fringe could work out as complementary shows somehow. Has Fox set a premiere night yet for DH, not that they couldn't move it.

 

[Kirby]

I'm still baffled by how many people continue to watch Two and a Half Men.

 

[bigdaddy]

I'm still baffled by how many people continue to watch Two and a Half Men.

Me too.

And ABC also got rid of PD and DSM from the winter schedule.

 

[Othello]

I'm really bummed that My Own Worst enemy is doing so badly. I really like that show.

Quite happy TBBT and HIMYM are doing so well. I RERALLY like those two show although I thoyught both of the epiodes lat night were subpar quality wise compraed to what they usually are.

EXREMELY bummed to see Chuck on the loser list. That's another show I REALLY like.

I enjoy both Prison Break and SCC but they aren't must watch and usually get watched by me online.

Not sure why GG and OTH had a bad night last night though both are safe bets for another season.

The Tower is Tall but the Fall is Short

 

[Angel4576]

NBC and Fox may as well just give up now, they get their asses handed to them on Monday nights.....

 

[Tomato]

F yeah!!! to HIMYM!!!!

This show could get a couple more seasons out of it!!! And Alyson Hannigan is preggers. I wonder how that is going to be worked in the story?

 

[nx1701g]

I'm looking forward to Dollhouse and hope that it and Fringe could work out as complementary shows somehow. Has Fox set a premiere night yet for DH, not that they couldn't move it.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse are the two shows for Fox's new Sci-Fi Fridays. It premires Friday, February 13, 2009 at 9:00.

Perhaps. From what's been said though on TerminatorFiles WB is fronting almost all of the costs now for Terminator (including buying a lot of ad space during the show) to keep it on the air. They're worried about how the cancellation of TSCC could affect Terminator: Salvation.

 

[Captain Craig]

^^^^
Now there is an interesting dynamic. Warners is now worried that the show has posibly or is having an negative impact on the franchise. To the point where its better to buoy it, via advertising dollars, in hopes it can turn around in the back 9 episodes. Thus preventing the brand from being hurt by the casual movie goer in the summer. Cause if casual movie goer has heard of the failure of the show then why invest time&money into a new movie.

Very interesting.

 

[bigdaddy]

Well I think most agree that the only season Term got 9 more episodes is so they can cancel the show after the movie comes out.

And Dollhouse shouldn't be on Fox, but if it has to be it should be on after AI.

 

[nx1701g]

^ Entirely possible and likely probable, but from what was said WB may be saving it for an additional third season (at least that was what was being said at TerminatorFiles).
