"Jack & Bobby," despite all of its critical acclaim (and being one of my favorites this season), is hemorrhaging viewers (its 2.248 million average ranks as the WB's least-watched scripted program on the network) not to mention off over 40% from "Angel's" numbers at this point last season. Nevertheless, "Angel" didn't face-off against "American Idol" so the audience drop was undoubtedly expected.
I think Jack & Bobby loses more potential audience to West Wing and Alias than to American Idol. I think I remember reading somewhere that J&B had more viewers on Easy View than in the regular time slot. It's just the wrong slot for that show.
JM talks about "Cool Money".
I love the way he always makes sure to say, "Not that I *approve* of that lifestyle, no, not at all. Even though the character is damned cool."

Heh. That's when
I
watch it. It was always more convenient for me when it was on Sundays and I had nothing else to watch.
I'm sorry to hear that Jack & Bobby is suffering, since a number of folks here like it. But at the same time, I want 8:00pm Wednesday to become a red ink-bleeding hole in the network schedule that makes 8:00 Friday on Fox look hospitable in comparison.
One of the problems with J&B is LOST's habit of running a few minutes over. You can't program your Tivo. I am sick of West Wing and I would watch Alias, but...
My work world and my fan world are not as far apart as they should be. I saw the following magazine name

and thought, "Ooh! Tattooed Xander!"
I'm going to go get some caffeine.

Ah, so you've read CICATRIX then.

Heh. I just sent JZ one of the fan covers for that today. (The Dru/Willow one.)

Huh? Not sure what you mean, Hec. It was a fanfic (pretty much the only one I've ever read, but DAMN it was good) I read. Do you mean fans are doing fantasy covers for if it were a book?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I made every effort to forget about it, too. I'm hoping you're referring to a different one.
