October 4, 201113 yr 'The Playboy Club' must be gone very soon, after getting a 1.2 this week. It's just been cancelled! I was going to watch eps 2 and 3 back to back but I'll not bother now.
October 4, 201113 yr 'How I Met Your Mother' is killing it this year 4.7, 5.1, 4.5, 4.5 - these must be its highest ratings ever :o? Good retention for 'Terra Nova', but it won't save it, a show that expensive needs to be 'event' viewing - it could get a 2nd season, with a severely reduced budget. The Office 7.17 3.7 Whitney 6.12 2.9 Up All Night 7.43 2.7 Law and Order: SVU 7.44 2.3 Parenthood 5.70 2.2 Parks & Recreation 4.22 2.1 Community 3.96 1.8 Prime Suspect 5.87 1.7 Free Agents 4.35 1.5 The Playboy Club © 4.17 1.4 Harry's Law 7.58 1.2 Looking at NBC's scripted shows - it can't be too long until 'Free Agents' gets the chop also. 'Harry's Law' will probably survive the season given it's a 2nd season show - but nothing beyond that. I'm hoping 'Parks & Rec' can stay above a 2.0!
October 4, 201113 yr Author Looking like Parenthood might be safe if it can keep it's ratings up :w00t:
October 5, 201113 yr Ringer bombed this week :mellow: A 0.6 on a Tuesday - suddenly Nikita looks to be doing well. Good for Nikita, but terrible for The CW as a network.
October 5, 201113 yr Author The CW is a diabolical network for ratings. It's a shame as they have some outstanding shows.
October 5, 201113 yr I wouldn't say 'outstanding' but they have a few that deserve better ratings than they get. Weirdly enough both episodes of Hart of Dixie have scored a 0.8 so if Ringer doesn't climb back up then Rachel Bilson's TV comeback will be a bigger success than Sarah's! Who would've thought?
October 5, 201113 yr Author This seems to have become a generic discussion thread so I have retitled it as such. The polar opposites on The CW make shows like Nikita look outstanding compared to the trash like One Tree Hill.
October 5, 201113 yr I do think the only option for CW now is to rebrand completely including name change, and revise their target audience - women 18-34 (which they claim to target) are not a big enough market and most of their shows seemed to be aimed more at older teenagers anyway. Ringer might not be a great show but at least it's not targeting kids so that's a step in the right direction. They need adult-friendly shows. In other news American Horror Story begins on FX tonight. Very excited! Only 58 on Metacritic mind.
October 5, 201113 yr Author I agree, a rebrand is needed. Ditching tired reality like H8r and ANTM would be a good start.
October 5, 201113 yr ANTM absolutely cannot be cancelled :cry: I will not survive! I wish they hadn't done an All-Star cycle this time as it pretty much means the show is likely to get axed. :'( At least let it calmly reach cycle 490. :(

If only they could cancel Tyra too.

October 5, 201113 yr It makes me happy that 'New Girl' is probably the biggest new show of the season. The first two episodes were shaky but it does seem like they're heading in the right direction, plus Zooey is adorable as ever. 2Hn3m-JgLGY Swoon.
October 5, 201113 yr New Girl was amazing this week. I don't agree the first two episodes were shaky whatsoever but it definitely stepped its game up. It's so shocking to me that the likes of How I Met Your Mother and Two And a Half Men have been so big for so long now. Has comedy really been so crap during the noughties? Either way I can easily imagine this sticking around for years. Schmidt in particular is a superb creation. His antics with Gretchen at the wedding had me howling.
October 5, 201113 yr Author I am just starting to catch up on the new shows. LOVING 2 Broke Girls. New Girl and Revenge are up next.
October 5, 201113 yr I know this is not a US TV show but I don't want to clog up the forum by creating a thread that will get 0 responses... Does anyone watch Australian Skins-esque 'Slide'? The pilot was really good. s01e08 was aired yesterday.
