This is why I go, "la la la la la la la la." Curbs the overprotective impulses.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Either way, it's probably doomed, but in the most noble way possible.
See, I don't get this attitude, I can't get it. If you think it's going to be good (and it seems like the person who wrote the prediction definitely thinks so), then why not just say "watch it so that it wouldn't suffer the fate of the other good shows?". It's not like there's *nothing* good that remains on TV, right? I know I'm completely out of the loop when it comes to USA TV, and that there are a lot of bad shows out there, but still.
The way I see it, an attitude like this will guarantee doomness, and everybody loses, especially the viewers, us. An attitude of "let's try to make the fate of this one different" may at least have a chance of having good results - what's to lose?
Please take into consideration, it's the middle of the night here and I'm hopelessly naive even when I'm not half asleep.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Point Pleasant has improved a little. But probably not enough to make a big difference in ratings in the next few weeks.
I'd love to see a grid all laid out and completely redo their schedule in a way that makes sense (to me).
I'm good with leaving this up to Allyson. How do we get her hired to do this?

I'd be happy for it to take Point Pleasant's slot. I don't hate PP, but I don't watch it. However, I do watch The OC, so having The Inside come on right afterward would be convenient.

Point Pleasant has improved a little.
How so? I gave up after three weeks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Even though the Apprentice's ratings have slipped a bit, unless your show is titled C.S.I., Thursday at 9 is just not a good time slot.

Disagree.

Thursday is good for me. I have no room on Wednesday, however.
How so? I gave up after three weeks.
Oh gee, you're gonna make me remember the earlier episodes (except I missed the pilot 'cause of the Wednesday thing)? The latest episode actually held my attention and the dialogue was better. It could just be that they spent more time with the adult characters who actually have a history. The teens still bore me. It could also be that they're finally moving past OMGDevilSpawn! and are telling some stories.

All the characters are vapid. Hollow. I don't care whether they all die or simply evaporate. It's like really boring erotica where you think to yourself, "my, what a completely christian romance novel fantasy life you have. How sad. Here, have a nipple clamp. I hear you can use them to keep potato chips fresh."
