they need to because i'm really tired of having to rely on Neilsen numbers to reflect the general population when there are so many more methods available to the execs these days. streaming content, especially.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

I think that they do use dvr+7 but, you know, we won't know that stuff 'til next week.

This is the story about low ratings I heard on NPR this morning.
ION, new CW show:
Holy Prequel, Robin! The Graysons Coming to the CW
Batman can have the big screen. Second banana Robin is settling for the small screen.
According to Variety, the CW is developing a one-hour drama based on the pre-Robin days of Batman's perennial sidekick.
The Graysons will explore Dick "DJ" Grayson's youth and adolescence in the same vein Smallville does for Clark Kent.
Not surprisingly, the concept is the brainchild of Smallville executive produers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson. Supernatural's executive producer McG is also behind the project.
The CW has put in a pilot commitment for the show, viewed as a potential replacement for Smallville, which may be hanging up its super-flying cape after eight seasons. Should S mallville continue, The Graysons will work as a companion series.

I think that they just want to have a story set in a circus.

Sweet bippy, they'll make any show now, won't they?
(Also, I thought that Smallville wrapping at the end of this season was a done deal?)

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Since I had missed the first half hour of Pushing Daisies I went to the ABC website to see if it was streaming yet, and ended up finding a bunch of cool faux newscasts and behind the scenes and red carpet clips. Why couldn't those have been on the dvds?!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
OH MY GOD - we're into 8 seasons of Smallville?

....I guess I've been an internet geek for longer than I thought, then. Maybe ten years?
Gosh.
