that's a shame futurama didn't have as many people watching it. it was a fantastic episode
Probably too much promising “The next one is going to be just like old times!” I will probably check out last week's at some point, but I'm not in any rush after the first few.
Syfy's Mary Knows Best and Fact or Faked-I suspected they didn't do well when the network didn't put out a press release-or include mention of them in their Eureka and Warehouse 13 releases, but I wasn't expecting them to do that bad.
It may be a stretch to use any of the Real Housewives' names in a sentence followed by the word stable.
Actually, guilty as charged, I “Watch What Happens” in NJ at least….it's an Italian thing.
I loved your comment, although I avoid all the housewives. If I want craziness on Bravo I tune into Flipping Out.
I hope Futurama bounces back next episode
Let's not give the credit to Burt's guest star on Burn. Maybe?
I knew we would bump into each other outside of the Cable New Zoo eventually. : )
thought about it, but decided to say nothing. if I gave him credit for the week-to-week gains in viewers, I'd also have to blame him for chasing away a few younger viewers.
Any Futurama episode focusing on Bender is going to be be underwhelming. He's a tiresome jerk.
Chicken? He was O.K. better than I thought it would be.
Not a surprise about the drop. I mean, thousands and thousands of 18-49s who are Futurama fans did descend on SDCC, and I'm sure a few of them were Nielsen viewers.
This is completely unfounded, of course. I expect someone from the site to smack down this hypothesis.
Burn Notice is skewing older than I thought it would. Almost 6 million viewers but only a 1.7 18-49? I didn't think older viewers tended to watch cable shows very much. They tend to stick to broadcast networks in my opinion.
Did I mention the creepy neckerchief thing?
That might very well be true, but at the same time, USA is the closest you'll get to a broadcast network audience on cable. It's widely available in virtually all homes with cable, and its shows belong in large part to the police, medical or spy genres that are so popular on broadcast TV…
Ouch on Mary Knows Best – SyFy might want to think twice about venturing outside its niche.
I wonder whether Mary the Psychic foresaw those low numbers?
If so, she should have had SyFy cancel the series before it began.
All I know is that if I hear that annoying Mary lady say, “Hellloooo, I'm a psychic” in that shrill voice of hers one more time, I'm going to SyFy and destroying every copy of that promo I can find! I really think SyFy's promo campaign around that show is turning people off to it.
And as far as Fact or Faked goes, that whole show is a “meh” on my excitement meter.
