   @Anthony

   Indeed, as you can see I like the show too and have been following the Syfy episodes. I would like to believe the show will go on for at least another 2 seasons. 5 seasons is a nice number and would be satisfying at the very least.

   Worth noting the Syfy channel had the biggest stake in Sanctuary and although they wern’t the ones funding the shows production, they were the ones paying the most money. With Lost Girl its simply a nominal fee being paid to the Prodigy Pictures/Shaw Media, and the episodes being aquired.

   It’s actually sad to see Lost Girl doing so poorly on Friday too, I think you’d agree. If someone of those Smackdown Nielsen viewers gave the show a chance they’d probably enjoy.

   Common Law is great fun. I hope it’s renewed. They should pair it with Rizzoli & Iles on Tuesdays. It might have a decent shot in increasing viewership. USA airs it on Fridays @ 10pm alone, with no help. And it was against the Olympics opening ceremony… I am stunned it managed to equal last week’s numbers/ratings. That should count for it, not against it.

   Woops… Just realized they (R&I/CL) are different networks. Oh, fantasy TV pairings. I hope Common Law is picked up and paired with a good show, and on a better night.

   @The End

   Yeah I’m not sure if Syfy will ever find a show that will do very well leading out of wrestling. I think many of those fans aren’t really interested in that type of programming (although they should be!) they have had a long list of shows air after it and they have all scored right around the same level.

   Well, as you can see, the Ollympics take their toll. Even all the kiddie shows are way down. And people finally seem to have a reason not to watch that Family Guy rerun they’ve seen three times already. It may be murderous tonight.

   @Jay Nickelodeon & Disney are two of the most watched cable networks. Why would we want to talk about a channel that has shows that can barely pull in 2-3 million viewers? You should be surprised that kids OUR AGE actually like nielsen related topics. At least we aren’t out on the streets doing drugs, or selling our bodies.

   I obviously agree with @The End.

   That comment to @Jay goes out to all the commenters complaining about how we’re talking about Nick, Disney, Viacom etc.. We aren’t doing ANY harm, so get over it. Thanks.

   @Twist of Fate
   Well, these children channels still do way better than anything on TBS or USA (expect Raw)
   Yes, but that’s on Friday night. (First prize is a week in Philadelphia.)

    I know right, I don’t understand why people hate on things just cause they don’t watch them.

    @Amy thanks (:

    I was hoping bigger numbers for hollywood heights, but I guess the olympic ceremony caused it to go down.. O and Friday ep was so so entertaing.. For anybody who didn’t see it Tyler and Eddie got into a fight and I think Chloe and Eddie are done with relationship..

    Hollywood Heights was great. I was sorry to see the numbers were down slightly. I have a feeling that more teenagers are tuning in than the important adult demo.

    Happy Common Law held onto its viewership from last week! Hoping it gets renewed

    Say Yes to the Dress (9:00) – TLC

    Anyone have the ratings for XIII on ReelzChannel at 9 pm? Thanks.

    I kind of wish that Cartoon Network had the same ratings as Nick and Disney. Just wondering, if Nicktoons aired marathons of Spongebob during the daytime, would it get more viewership?

    I EXPECTED ALL OF THIS WITH THE OLYMPICS GETTING 40 MILLION ON FRIDAY ISNT THIS A BIT OBVIOUS FOR RATINGS

    It’s Jessie not Jesse. It’s annoying that you keep messing it up every week.

    Thanks to Amy for the Hollywood Heights ratings. I was expecting the show to be down in viewers because of the olympics. I really dont mind the Disney and Nick discussion on here. I think Edie is really geting fed up with Kloey on Hollywood Heights too. I have been noticing that for the past few episodes too. I can hardly wait to see what is going to happpen next on the show.

    Disney shows are cheap and that’s why there more episodes. Victoria Justice earns $12.000 for a episode. Miranda Cosgrove $180.000. When iCarly is gone there are more shows for the same money.
