Ouch for Reaper... I actually saw American Idol for the first time since the first season last night, I was over at my sister's and she had it on. Made me REALLY want a Coke since they flashed a little Coke sign every five seconds on the show itself

 

[wamdue]

oh for god sakes theCW, stop repeating 90210, look you have something that you could label a hit show, but right now it doesnt repeat as well as you think it does, just hang back on the repeats and maybe one day when there are more than 20 episodes of the show, it might repeat better.

a bit confused as to ABC schedule, what was, "Dancing With the Stars recap" did they spent an hour recapping the previous episodes, before the 1 hour results show?

 

[Jax]

The DWTS recap was about the season so far, I think. A waste I guess though made no sense why ABC don't take advantage of this and air the results at 8pm with Scrubs at 9pm

 

[wamdue]

I just wonder how much of that recap could not have been part of the result shows, other than the 5 minute is "the couple leaving this week is Roy & Haley Cropper*" what was so important that the recap could not have covered the other 40 minutes of the show?

* I aplogise

Ouch. Reaper. Supernatural got 2.84 million in finals last week after returning from a 6 hiatus and being preempted in two big markets, St. Louis and Baltimore. Reaper's just falling off the map. No one knows it's even there and it's not like the CW's going to spend a dime telling anyone. Then they rerun 90210 constantly and want to produce more episodes of it. I can't believe they still want a Gossip Girl spin off.

The funny thing is, is that GG doesn't really do all that well, even by CW numbers. The media loves it, but that's about it.

Bye Bye Reaper, you will be missed.

 

[Thrall]

Bye Bye Reaper, you will be missed.

I agree. I hope they give it a chance to wrap the story up, but I'm not betting on it.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Bye Bye Reaper, you will be missed.

Once again, renew/cancel begs to differ:

Reaper hung onto its premiere audience in its second week. If it can keep holding on, it’s got a decent chance of renewal. Not as much of a chance that an Index of 1.09 would normally imply because the CW’s devastation on Sunday night has lowered their average so much, but definitely a chance.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

This is its third week. Its audience slipped again.

So what? The rating went up.

March 11- 0.8/ 2
March 17 - 0.9/ 3

Both stats are from PI Feedback. And as we all know, only the demo matters.

Sorry to disappoint you. I know you're doing your best to bury Reaper.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

No, the show I'd like to bury is Gossip Girl. Reaper can stay. It's cute.
