Revenge needs to sex it up.
Survivor- let the fur fly. Kat is an idiot.
Revenge = Private Practice this week on the Demo
And PP with a little more viewers
I know Revenge is a “Hit” but now is the same that and old five year show like PP
I think the only reason ABC loves revenge is because the wednesday 10 pm timeslot saw a lot of awful ratings with Off the Map and others, but the hiatus definitly was a bad move for Revenge.
Apartment 23 is doing awful after MF but ABC is showing a lot of love to that show.

“Original CSI rocks – period……..no……EXCLAMATION POINT!”
No, correction: original CSI used to rock! The days of Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and decent award-winning writing are sadly behind CSI now. And the spinoffs are horrible, CSI: NY is straight up boring and Gary Sinise doesn’t even TRY anymore and CSI: Miami has seriously jumped the shark and they story lines are the same.
CSI is like the Law & Order franchise, needs some fresh blood and some new shows, or they need to beef up the old shows like what has been done to L&O: SVU!
New spinoff ideas:
CSI: Los Angeles (all 3 CSI series’s film there anyway!)
Law & Order: Chicago (Dick Wolf is already filming a crap fire dept. drama there)
Revenge is a decent performer but far from a hit.
Revenge is my favorite show on network tv
The CW really needs to move The LA Complex to Wednesdays and fill the empty slot on Tuesday with another show.
Glad that Modern Family is still above 10 million even though it doesn’t really matter but 10 just looks better than 9
SVU demo went up? Great news.
Writers better start thinking of 14 letter titles for episodes!
NBC would look stupid if they cancelled it now.
I like Don’t Trust the B, but I’m not gonna get upset if it starts to slip. It’s fun, it’s wildly different than anything on network TV but as far as getting me invested in the characters, they’re not doing very well in my opinion. Plus they pretty much stole a storyline from the Sarah Silverman Program (“Not Without My Daughter”) in the previous episode.
good for MF let see How a super unfunny comedy BBT will do
Deadline is saying SVU negotiations are tied up with Chicago Fire negotiations. Not sure I like the sound of that.
IMO every year ABC needs to pick out the most heavily-serilized show and give it the Lost treatment.
i.e., a January-May run.
Notice how drama premieres in January Alcatraz and Touch do well but then fizzel because they aren’t good enough or premiered again in March.
March-April premieres just won’t do.
Revenge is heavily serilized + well reviwed so it should run Jan-May.
@bluejays
You are so right. CSI was an amazing show when Petersen en Helenburg ruled, but now it’s just over. They should cancel it next season and leave on a little bit of a high note. It would be sad to see it go below 2.0
APT 23 just is not a very good show and the hype and “outrage” did nothing….moving on to next show
