TV Ratings (Tuesday 5th October)
- Thread starter Jax
- Start date
Guess I'll have to keep my two eppies of No Ordinary Family given that the ratings will keep it going for a while...
Winners...
Honorable Mention...
Down But Not Quite Out Yet...
Losers...
Round-Up
ABC should be happy with "No Ordinary Family", which is holding its own against tough opponents in the form of NCIS and Glee. I see no reason why ABC won't give it a full pickup should it stay near these levels. "Detroit 1-8-7" just needs to perk that demo back into the 2 range but at the moment ABC should give it a full pickup though it can't afford to drop below 8 million.
Raising Hope may have a slim chance of a full pick up but Running Wilde is now DEAD. I would say to FOX though just cancel Raising Hope now and don't waste your time like you did with Til Death. Last season FOX aired Summer show "So You Think You Can Dance" out of "Kitchen Nightmares" and it didn't work but they should re-think that idea since Glee would have a compatiable audience.
The Biggest Loser has sprung a leak and the solid NBC hit will probably struggle over the next few years due to severe franchise fatigue. Parenthood is DEAD with those numbers but I wonder was NBC right to air it at 10pm in the first place?. I still think with NBC losing so much money and with ZERO 10pm-11pm hits, it should copy FOX and do the 8-10 route.
CBS and CW did there regular things...
One smells of success and the other just stinks

I think Raising Hope is doing OK. Fox needs 30 minute shows for after American Idol which will be 90 minutes one night and only 30 the next or something like that. So they probably have a mid year 30 minute show to fill in for Running Wilde, but year that's dead. Raising Hope, which I like, maybe be the next 'Til Death! I'm hoping!

OTH just sucks now and LUX is great just in a bad time slot...LUX should have stayed on Mondays or be where Hellcats is...I think Hellcats is strong enough to be on Tuesday at 9pm.
Sorry its just the idea that a CW show is strong enough to be put anywhere on the TV schedule makes me split my sides.
I wonder if any thought has been given over there to become a ABC Family type cable network because they will never be a proper major network.

Doesn't The CW have less affiliates than ABC, CBS, FOX & NBC? I don't even know why they would be compared to the other networks.
I think Raising Hope is really good. My favorite new show of the season, anyway. (not saying much though)
Actually Life Unexpected had a HUGE jump in the female demo The CW is going after. And OTH saw a bump up as well though not as big. That's the demo they crave and is a good sign for both shows.

Life Unexpected saw big gains with its target of women 18-34 rallying all the way to a 1.6 rating from last week’s 1.1. One Tree Hill also climbed with women 18-34 to a 1.8 rating versus last week’s 1.6.

That is good news for LUX.

I had a somewhat related question. I know here in Canada at least, the main 4 networks are generally within the first 15-20 channels on the dial (I realise that's now an anachronism), while the CW is something like channel 62. So its shows are a lot more obscure and harder to find unless you go looking for them, which I would think is a cause for lower viewership. Is it the same in the US? Or does the CW have a more reasonable channel number?

The CW is on Channel 65 in my area and I was reading The CW covers 95% of house holds with some being cable only.
I am guessing the other 4 cover 100% of tv homes in the US.

So how much of a guarantee do you need to watch a show?
I've enjoyed quite a few one season wonders and have also seen a lot of shows go for a few years and end without wrapping anything up satisfactorily.
I have very basic channels and CBS is channel 3, ABC is channel 4, NBC is channel 6 and 9 (One for CT and one for MA) and Fox is channel 10, the CW took WB channel's 13, the last channel I get. It's been that way as far as I can remember.
Channel 23 is an ABC and 24 is Lifetime and 25-35 are cable channels like TNN and TBS and TNT. 36 to 44 are news channels, 45 to 50 is Nick at Nite and Disney and such. 51 to 62 are the learning channels, then there are random channels. However those get moved around every few years.
