What was wrong with Thursday for the mentalist seemed to work well
I love 666 and I think people just gave up because the pilot wasn’t that good..It has been getting better each week..I wish people would give it a another shot..On another note I wanted to like Nashville but it is boring!! I don’t watch Last Resort.
Hopefully they’ll give 666 Park Avenue some more time, its the type of show that needs time to build. Sunday at 10PM has not been kind to ABC lately, so coming into this season they had to know if was going to be tough. Maybe a change of time slot would help but where. Private Practice spot on Tuesday at 10PM will be open soon but that doesn’t look like it would be a good fit with ‘Don’t Trust The B’ as a lead in.
Considering that ‘The Mentalist’ was shown at 10:56 PM on the east coast, I am surprised it received a 1.5 rating and still drew over 8 million viewers. Just wish CBS could have treated this fine series better. I wonder how well NCIS would do if CBS did the same thing to them?
That’s a bad number for The Mentalist.
666 WAS ALITTLE CONFUSING @ FIRST, BUT YOU NEED TO KEEP WATCHING. THERE ARE SO MANY TWISTS AND TURNS, MAKES YOU USE YOUR INTELLECT TO FIGURE-OUT THE EXCITING PLOT… PAN AM MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOOD, BUT GOT TOO WRAPPED-UP IN FAR FETCHED SITUATIOS!!!
