What an awful holiday season for him. First he lost his low level capacity job on “Dirty Sexy Money.” And then he lost his no level capacity “job” on “My Own Worst Enemy.” Talk about a harsh business.

Your site is definitely read by a lot of people in the business. Your index is pretty good at predicting what will happen. As you’ve learned there are exceptions to the rule (like CBS Friday Nights, Til Death, etc), but yours is a good yardage stick to measure hopes by. So you get a lot of borderline shows checking the site out. I’ve had some people high up the food chain at the networks mention your site in “power of the internet conversations,” and even heard mention of “Nick C,” as well (right after the ABC announcements about ES, PD, and DSM).

More importantly, since you know dirtysexyj exists, did you try and get info on how to claim your $10,000?

Funny story you’d appreciate. Remember dirtysexyj from the DSM commenting threads last fall? I randomly met a guy at MacWorld who’s wife was a writer on the show. She was a big reader of our site. He had met dirtysexyj and confirmed that he did in fact work for the show in a very low level capacity.

His IP address is attached to hundreds of comments. The 2 IP addresses you have used are attached to 5. How does that make you the real Vader?

What is 2 + 2?

Sorry guys, I couldn’t resist. Fake Vader did make me laugh though… but he/she is being an idiot. I sure hope this doesn’t make you guys have to consider accounts.

The “original” Vader has posted hundreds of comments on our site. Best I can tell, you have posted four.

Good points on LOST, that isn’t a hit at all.

I’m not sure I buy that those are the “final,” numbers. Have they factored in Pittsburgh yet? It usually takes days for that to happen.

That said, serialized shows often do better in DVD sales. The first half of Battlestar Galactica’s season 4 got $7 million. After the second half is released, the total will probably be around $14 million. Compare to CSI which got around $3 million for the entire season.

TSCC by the way was viewed by what 19 million viewers after a playoff game? That is pretty good for a post playoff game. I guess Sci Fi wasn’t a problem there.

I’m going to give that a go Bill, thanks!

Alias never was going to be a main stream show. The whole Rambaldi subplot throughout the entire series pushed it into sci-fi where not many people would’ve been likely to follow it anyway.

Looking back at the numbers it appears there were 9 million less viewers by the end of the post game show in 2003 vs 2009. Percentage wise, THE OFFICE did about as well as ALIAS for keeping viewers.

You forget that ALIAS was designed specifically for that airing. It was far less serial and more action/big budget than other episodes. It just was unlucky to follow a blow out. Even shows that did well like FRIENDS were subject to viewer numbers. FRIENDS followed the 3rd most watched SUPERBOWL I believe between the Cowboys and Steelers in a close game. If it had been a blowout even FRIENDS would have had less numbers (but still big numbers).

We’ll see.

Note: “great” denotes his football prowess and not his acting chops.

Here is hoping Chuck did not get brutalized on Monday by House and the CBS comedies.

What I really want to see is the ratings for The Office between 11:15-11:45pm where I’m sure it really dropped off.

The Office may not be a huge winner, but NBC has nothing that would have done better.

The two strongest post SB series in recent memory were Friends and Grey’s Anatomy, popular enough series that completely broke-out with the SB exposure. That is not going to happen to The Office, which is not mainstream enough to ever be a big hit.
