I’m not shooting anything. I’m just making a point, because most actors don’t have percentage deals and I can’t imagine why it annoys you.
Dear Charlie Sheen, your show is not winning. Please just go and make movies.
Sure we will watch your tv show Charlie….this was your quote….
I don’t have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say, ‘I can’t process it’ well, no, you never will stop trying, just sit back and enjoy the show. You know?
“I’m tired of pretending I’m not special. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars.”
And it should fall, it’s a horribly unfunny show. I thought it would be close to rated R comedy, not your standard run-of-the-mill sitcom. I never watched 2 and a half Men, I don’t like shows like that. I haven’t watched a sitcom since Friends and King of Queens. What a disappointment. I wanted hardcore Charlie, not some BS sitcom.
Charlie needs to go to HBO and do some rated R comedy, some REAL comedy. I wanted something like Wedding Crashers, or The Hangover, not a standard ass sitcom.
I wasn’t replying to you, Nadine, it was a general comment on AM’s ratings.
@Nadine
Wouldn’t worry about it, you’re easily one of the more credible posters here. And have a clue what you’re speaking about. At least in my opinion.
Awkward still has better ratings then snooki tho, so that good, people arent as dumb as I thought, thanks
My Chart for Nick/Disney-
FIO-Monday-2.8 million
BTR-Monday-2.9 million
FIO-Tuesday-?
FIO-Wednesday-?
FIO-Thursday-2.6 million
I am confused. How come it says Anger Management is number 2 cable program but it is not No 2 on the list?
Figure It Out
-Tuesday, 7 PM: 2.280 million viewers, 0.41 A18-49
-Wednesday, 7 PM: 1.576 million viewers, 0.26 A18-49
OUCH for AM that quite a big drop of for the first week but if can hold onto that itll prob come back.
According to metacritic Louie is the best show on TV yet it can’t even get close to the top of the nightly cable ratings. Are Americans stupid or the critics wrong?
Robert…sorry if i missed any posting but just curious how the Bond movies are doing on Encore.
how can you nitwits keep saying that Snooki and the other idiot are doing good!!!!! MTV wanted Jersey numbers, not a 1.0 adults 19 plus!!! Within 2 years all thise idiots will be Arevaderchi!!!!
I’d hold off of the celebration for Anger Management just yet. This is only the 2nd week it’s been on and it took a serious fall, wait and see what it does in the next 2-3 weeks. If it continues to fall I believe FX will pull the plug, if it stays steady it may stand a chance of renewal. Personally, I don’t care for it. His character is nothing but Charlie Harper re-invented as a therapist. I don’t find it very original either that they continued to use “Charlie” as the characters name…banking on people looking at him and thinking “charlie harper” (I believe).
