“Do the people that cheerlead for a network here get paid or are the just very odd?”
They don’t get paid.
@Bizarro–you are correct. Monday-Thursday are terrible for the CW.
So, why does the CW keep placing the same type of female-skewed shows there? Shouldn’t they try something different?
Ben and Kate a 1.2? wow! its like seriously the funniest show i’ve seen in a good while….I seriously always am on the floor during that.
@JJA
Perhaps you’re right about the VD argument. But Nikita won’t get moved from Friday.
Supernatural moved because it shouldn’t have been put on Friday in the first place.
Putting Nikita after Arrow… You can’t really say that until Arrow has been on for a bit longer. It could still drop…
@JJA
Are you Bondoel?
@eridapo
And Go on and new normal right….and the finder and touch too(AI). Come on man. Stop it, you start to look funny now. RVN is hit show not because the voice. Yes The voice help but the voice is down 30% from spring. And RVN numbers are better than smash. RVN is #1 show on DVR. Beat even NCIS wich is best drama from 10 years.
ps Not to mantion that TBBT is BEST possible lead in. May be with MF. And still most sitcoms after tham are flops.

“Do the people that cheerlead for a network here get paid or are the just very odd?”
They don’t get paid.
Come on. You were given a perfect opportunity to mock us, and you didn’t take it. Why is that? Too tired or do you just want to go home..
@Jamie–I know Nikita won’t be moved off Friday.
The encores of Arrow and B&TB won’t stay at the .6 and .4 levels forever. Eventually, the CW will have to place an original there. Nikita guarantees some consistancy for the timeslot, which 90210 or GG won’t be able to provide.
“How low do ratings must go before ABC does anything about it. I know it is late for this cycle, but I just don’t think they can do anything to recover the lost viewers. Judges? that hasn’t help out idol. Tweak the format? Introduce new dancing styles? Better celebrities? If the AllStars are failing to generate interest, would new celebrities do the trick.”
I know, ABC’s just not thinking!
I came up with these in like 5 minutes!
Wardrobe malfunction night – dancers get to sabotage another’s costume in hidden ways
Drunk night – everybody does a half dozen tequila shots 15 minutes before airtime
Vertigo night – House lights go off and on randomly during the dancing, and the screen shows IR “night vision” images of the dancers when the lights are off
CW won’t cancel EOMD. CW are without shows to replace it. They almost sure will air it all season and in the end of the season they will cancel bad one.
No I am not Bondeal!!
Am I being rude? I don’t think I am, but I am a Nikita fan.
Honestly! There are other Nikita fans out there. lol
@ Petar Ivanov
LOL…. Don’t have anything against Revolution, but I knew it would get some reaction from you Petar…
@JJA
GG and 9O are consistent, very consistent but very low.
I never suggested those inflated pilot reruns would last. There is an original at 8PM, Top Model is back this Friday.
Ben and Kate is actually really good! It’s a shame it didn’t take off????
“Come on. You were given a perfect opportunity to mock us, and you didn’t take it. Why is that? Too tired or do you just want to go home..”
I am subtle when I want to be.
Re-read my comment with that in mind.
You missed the point. Are you a viewer of The Voice?
@JJA
Lol good point, Bondoel would be being rude. I’m also a Nikita fan (fav CW show now OTH has ended). I just think it’s too late for it to be better off Friday.
Can’t figure CW out now… Tuesday at 9 would be better off a rerun than CULT. CULT could boost Nikita, too.
@ If Emily Owens doesn’t improve next week it’ll be dropped for a repeat of Arrow or Beauty and the Beast.
Crazy idea. Why they will do that? Arrow and BB still can flop. And the pilots always repeat well.
Thanks Bill. Then they are just very odd.
@ rob60990
Dream on TSC would be pulling in 0.7s at least on any night.
