Wow, people talk about how The CW will die soon, just look at how dreadful NBC is.

10 million viewers for Shark, but yet it's cancelled.

10 million viewers for Shark, but yet it's cancelled.

CBS decided to cancel the show due to the low demo score because apart from this episode the show has been getting around 2.2 for the season.

Didn't get much time yesterday to do this because of the European Cup final so better late then never...

Winners...

American Idol, Hell’s Kitchen, Dancing With the Stars and NCIS

Honorable Mention but too little too late...

Shark

Losers...

Reaper and Most Outrageous Moments

Round-up...

Starting with SHARK, I do feel the only reason the show is cancelled was because CBS moved the timeslot for season 2 and why they needed to I will never know. The viewers were good but the demo was the reason given to CBS for canning the show but I do feel there must of been a slot it could of been used in.

NCIS finished off its season and one of the few shows to get stronger despite the strike and expect the show to remain on the air for at least several more years, infact I think we have a 200 episode show here for CBS.

Dancing With Stars ended on a mjaor high and a surprise that ABC have brought it back for the fall next year so I expect it to get several of my shows canned.

Overall Reaper has done decent work for CW but the show runners need to worry more about the CW going bust and not the show next year IMO and should look to wrap up the plot nexr season just incase.

Even given the situation around the demo, I still find Shark's cancellation to be a sad indictment of the way the television industry's run.

The people who run it are the problem because Shark was doing fine more it got moved so instead of the shows getting punished, how about these so called TV exec's lose there jobs instead.

Too busy giving themselves hefty pay raises. Hasn't Moonves just gotten a 15% bump?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Reaper's ratings are perfectly good by CW standards (which is why it got renewed - the whole network is a loser! )

My bet is that Reaper survives as long as the CW does....
