Hope you enjoy, am off to make a cup of tea because that took me a while to do, and am sick of typing at the moment

 

[Agent Richard07]

I'm surprised at how well Flashpoint is doing.

 

[Spot's Meow]

Obviously 90210 isn't the hit that CW was hoping for. Not really a surprise.

 

[Tomato]

^

Amongst my female co workers it seems to be great hit. They are all like,

Female Co workers: "It is Sooo bad!!!"
Me: So why don't you stop watching it?
Female Co workers: Because It is Sooo bad!!! I just can't stop
Me: So it is good then?
Female Co workers: No no it is bad....
Me: Why don't you stop watching it?
Female Co workers: It is that bad I can't stop..

**sigh** I give up.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

The premiere of House will take care of 90210 soon enough.

 

[wamdue]

not strong numbers for Prison Break or TSCC, Fringe did fine. Do Not Disturb, yeah that isnt going well is it.

um Greatest American Dog? WTF, I had no idea US TV was THAT bad in the summer.

NBC seem to be doing ok, that said how many episodes of America's Got Talent do they need in a week?

the CW all things considered quite good by there standards.

 

[Jax]

IMO...

SCC will see out the season but will end like I predicted during the summer for the simple reasons that serial shows rarely last these days, even LOST & Heroes shed viewers last season though they did retain some of them via TIVO.

SCC would do better if kept as mid-season using 24 or Idol to boost it self but TBH its not a 8pm show and PB is a lousy lead in show anyway should it switch to 9pm and besides PB will finish this season anyway.

Fringe had a solid debut and can probably risk dropping to 7.5 million in its opening season though if it can hold a good number, midseason will bump it when Idol returns.

So glad to see Bones continue its solid work, normally it hits 7-8 million during The Fall run and come midseason jumps to 9-10 million though always keep a good 18-49 demo between 2.9-3.2 during its entire season run.

90120 will probably stay above 3 million for the most part of its freshmen year but CW will still fold within 2 years for me. One good thing for the show is so far re-runs have held around 2 million, which ain't bad for CW so maybe it has more viewers than indicated in first runs.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Ooooh it's GAWD-awful. But I've been chewing thru DVDs instead...It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Entourage, Rescue Me and now Dexter (which is INSANELY great). Not too painful...

 

[BigFoot]

I'm just really glad that Bones is doing as well as it is.

 

[Warp Coil]

I'm also glad to see Bones doing well. Everything else so far? I really don't care. I especially hope 90210 and Gossip Girl tank early on, just so that the CW's fate is sealed and Dawn Ostroff can finally go away.

 

[Skywalker]

Obviously 90210 isn't the hit that CW was hoping for. Not really a surprise.

Those are actually pretty decent ratings for the CW.

I want CW to survive for Reaper's sake.

Yeah, for one of their regular shows it is not bad. But I got the feeling they were hoping this would somehow be a breakout show that surpasses the others on the network. Obviously what they've got right now isn't working all that well for the network, so they needed something a lot better. It just didn't happen.

 

[Angel4576]

Worrying that 'Til Death outperformed TSCC and almost did for Prison Break as well.....

Good numbers for Bones.
