Posts: 421 (03/02/09 11:29 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	So what is up with all the great new shows tanking in the ratings? Is it because of DVR's? Is it because of iTunes? Is it because of Hulu? Or are numbnuts just not watching these great dramas? Am I the weird one for liking Eli Stone, Dirty, Sexy, Money, Jericho and Life on Mars so much just to have them cancelled? Am I living in some parallel universe? I think I have a nose bleed now. <waiting for the bright flash of light>

Unless a new show is a procedural, medical drama or laugh-track sitcom, it's probably going to be cancelled. A network show needs to have mainstream appeal in order to bring in enough viewers to remain profitable. Most of the good scripted series have migrated to the cable networks.

I was excited by some of the episodes of this version and the cast. But, there were some downright awful episodes of this show that were just cringe worthy. To succeed, they would have to dumb it down, but, who needs another dumbed down show? A nice effort, but, the Brit version stands on its own.

It's like they were told (by the studio/network) that people prefer "Lost" plotlines. Better to have supernatural BS. I don't think we can blame DVRs, ITunes or Hulu because I watch more shows due to them. Used to be if something started at the wrong time I'd just skip it. Shows these days are so often written like serials and if you miss one you're confused. My DVR has allowed me to watch them when I want to. I never tuned in to 24 until I got Tivo. P.S. Jason O'Mara is a beautiful man and I can't wait to see him in his next thing. And I actually liked Michael Imperioli's mutton chops. Last Edited By: Mrs Krista Boogie 03/03/09 7:52 PM.

I thought last night was a pretty good episode though. The bar being named Glenister's was a nice homage to Philip Glenister ( the actor that played the Guv in the original ).

The issue may be that the ratings companies may not have a way of knowing what is being watched from DVR. Do the ones that use diaries ask about DVR programs or just real time viewing?

At least none of the strippers were shown giving lap dances, what with the lap dance being a late seventies/early eighties invention. Am I the only one who wishes last night's show had ended with a freaked out Sam witnessing Ali lose his rematch with Norton? Now, that would have been a mindbender!

Late 80s/Early 90s You must have gone to a innovative titty bar.

I know the show is cancelled and I was losing interest a few epis ago, but I just saw the latest and it was very, very good, back to the show's original promise. I will really miss this show. Fuck ABC, they are too quick to pull the trigger.

Following LOST is wrong. Two blockbusters back to back is too much intensity. I think it would do better on it's own night of the week.
