Hooray, another season for Parenthood!
What a mess for NBC. Deception will certainly air all of its episodes.
Wow at SMASH.
That is just amazingly dreadful. Not that the lead-in was amazing, though an 91 year old woman just “SMASHED” you but still… the show is back for a second season and should have a built in fanbase.
I know DO NO HARM is DOA but CHICAGO FIRE is proving to be a keeper for the network so unless every single upcoming drama bombs (it is possible, I know), I think SMASH concludes this season- for good.
O-M-G
What a shame! I watched it, and it was absolutely addictive. Much better than last season. ):
Wow
Bahaha yikes poor NBC
Well there goes a third season!
Shame is that last night’s episode was REALLY good – the show has really come together and some of the new songs were great. It just felt so much more cohesive this time around…
doesnt help that literally not a single character on this show is likable
Yikes!
Absolutely gutted by this
! Was expecting around a 1.8 (i.e. solid but not spectacular). Hopefully they’ll at least air the whole second season!
I knew they shouldn’t have renewed it.
What the hell did they expect when they took it of the schedule for 8 months
I don’t believe that for a second.
Suddenly, Deception’s ratings aren’t looking so bad….uh oh.
I had said it in another post but NBC will be fine next season with its 5 core dramas (SVU, Chicago Fire, Parenthood, Grimm, Revolution). Add in a couple new ones, and then focus on rebuilding the comedies.
INSANE! Last nights episode was great. Sad.
@Spike:
I found myself thinking the same thing last night, but I realized something important: I may not like these characters, but I still care what happens to them. That’s Smash’s best quality.
Wow, Yipes for Smash, those are very low ratings for such a heavily promoted show. And half hour ratings dropping is a very bad sign.
I think the ratings for “ Smash “ will only get lower from here. With a bad time slot with a weak lead-in.
Good thing “ Smash “ is not on CBS or it would be cancelled already. The Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear , is ready for NBC to cancel “Smash “ , it is just a matter of when.
What does NBC do with “ Smash “ now?
Into the ground!!
