Sucks for Vampire. How has Fish Hooks survived this long? The ratings went down for it and then UP for a repeat.
Thanks @Nick
Friday at 7:30 is not a good night for MBAV it seems. It does ok at 8:00 on Friday. And does ok on Sundays. But in that 7:30 spot on Friday it has got killed. So MBAV has done fine IMO this season…when it hasnt aired at 7:30 on Friday.
Cm, Thanks. I mean it’s not like KIDS write these shows.
Sure, some tween shows have horrible writing. But a lot of non tween shows have horrible writing as well.
I follow a lot of creators and writers on twitter of some of my fave tween shows. I’m friends with a few on facebook who don’t have twitters. They are quality writers and creators. Quality human beings as well. And they are not kids. Late 30s and 40s. They are not tweens and they write and create tween shows.
I don’t know why some of us are judged for watching them when people older than us write them.
@Walker
I know that. I think you misread my comment, I stated that I hope Disney does not bring back MBAV. Meaning, not airing season 3 on their network (if it was renewed for a season 3)..
Well i hope it does, if it doesnt, hopefully lovely Canadians will upload them for us. Etharah rocks!
Kudos to Nick.
That was one heck of a bounce for Strike Back. Did they promote the fact that a certain character was getting axed in that episode before hand?
Thanks to NIck. and i hope Disney picks up the third season if there is one of My Baby Sitter.
