“LOL At least Bondoel never made up fake numbers for Nikita.”
Yeah, Mikey/Bondoel was a professional. I mean who is this Bridget Kelly person with all this fake info jazz?
I dunno, Fringe is kinda dropping like a rock. Two years ago it started on Thursdays with a 3.0 and finished with a 2.0 (lowest 1.7). Last year it started with a 2.1 on Thursday, moved to Friday for a 1.9, finished at 1.2 (lowest also 1.2). Fringe’s ratings this year aren’t much better than Supernatural’s last year (well, Supernatural had more 0.9s). I’m gonna go ahead and guess it’ll keep falling while Supernatural continues to hold mostly steady (personally hoping for an uptick courtesy of luck and Netflix) and that the two shows will have at least a couple ties next year, even given Fringe’s shortened season.
I know it doesn’t matter either way.
And LOL at the Mikey/Bridget Kelly battle idea. That is golden.
Bridget Kelly is crazy. RINGER IS DEADER THAN DEAD!!!
why are people asking how Supernatural is getting 0.7 and Nikita 0.4? I’ve seen this brought up repeatedly now for weeks.
Supernatural has been on TV now for 7 years, it has a massive following, it’s the #2 rated show on The CW, it has crazy fans with some fan fiction sites devoted to it, it’s extremly popular and has been for a while now. it’s not like it’s some new show, the show has been around for a long time. Nikita had 1 season on Thursday night and was moved to Fridays. It never had time to establish the fanbase that Supernatural has. THAT is why Supernatural does so well. Stop comparing both shows.
Good God we finally found a poster worse than Bondoel!
Bridget Kelly will mysteriously disappear when Ringer is announced cancelled next week.
lets hope so, this Ringer talk is seriously annoying.
ringer is going to be renewed you guys can say what you want and i apologize for the ratings mishap but the truth is. is that none of you even watch ringer so you are just trashing it because of the ratings. ratings arent the only thing taken into account for the cw and i have sources to back that up.. but i strongly believe that ringer will at the very least get a second season 13 episode renewal
@Bridget Kelly – So what/who are these sources? It would make predictions for next week easier if you share where you’ve gotten your inside info.
Please TVBTN Gods, please bring back Bondoel/Mikey so that we can see who would really win in a Ringer v Nikita face off.
@Bridget Kelly
Yeah, @Dahne is right… Who are these sources?
Pics or it didn’t happen!
Hmm Let’s see.. Gossip girls ratings have sucked for 3 years now.. The only reason it wasn’t cancelled in it’s third or fourth season is because it did well in miscellaneous things such as DVD sales iTunes netfix hulu and more
90210 same thing got a fourth season renewal JUST because it’s DVR numbers were really high.
One tree hill was renewed for a final season because they wanted fans to be happy even though season 8 ended as a series finale
Nikita was given a renewal 2nd season because it’s numbers were ok and they wanted to give the show another chance
Need anything else?
I’ve already stated in other posts what ringer has going for it right now… I’ll agree the ratings werent the best but they certainly were t the worst. So ratings are NOT ALL THAT MATTER in regards toward renewal and none of you are thinking about any of that stuff. That’s why I believe the show will be renewed.
So your so called sources are merely your opinions? ok…
No show will ever be renewed because of iTunes/DVR. iTunes sales are so dismal even Apple was unhappy with the numbers. And networks get zero money from DVR.
But even if what you believe was true, iTunes/DVR would only help bubble shows. Ringer’s not a bubble show, it’s deader than dead.
Man, people like this make me miss Bondoel.
@Bridget Kelly
“Need anything else?”
Yeah, sources…
@ AC75
what source do you want?
i just gave adrian a source that said 90210 was renewed last year because of DVR numbers….

Ok I’ll give you that one. How about the rest? why not a link to the great iTunes and DVD sales for GG and 90210?
And you know what? Go on, insult me all you want, we won’t see you around here after next week when Ringer’s gone forever.
i wanna see the look on your face when ringer gets renewed. adrian
Bridget Kelly’s posts about Ringer have been hilarious! I strongly suspect that ‘she’ is really Bondoel/Mikey/Whatever in disguise, playing mind games other posters. Is it just by chance that ‘she’ chose to post on Friday’s ratings message board? Maybe the plan to is make Bondoel etc previous posts about Nikita look less absurd by comparison!
Bridget, even if DVR increase was a reason and not a brag for 90210′s renewal, it wasn’t the lowest rated show. There were three other scripted dramas lower than it.
http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/04/26/cw-hellcats-losing-streak-makes-it-likely-to-be-cancelled/90543/
Also, 90210′s DVR Live+7 increase bumped it up to 1.2, which is way above Ringer’s. You can hardly compare.
@restless
but if you havent noticed, the entire network sunk underwater this season
