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.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
The license fee for SCC hasn't been disclosed on pickup, which is.. interesting. It does have, like, 18 producers on payroll. That said, it's apparently not THAT expensive a show, according to the showrunner.
The ratings very strongly map with Jericho. I just plotted it. Which, admittedly, I hadn't realised. It was a mistake to bring Jericho back; it's tanking badly.
How big a budget does SCC have (compared to the norm)?
I can't imagine it's cheap given how much shit blows up.
Although thinking about it that way, the pool shot might have been tricky to set up but they also avoided having to squib everybody up.
But I am loving season 2 of Jericho.
This article is very positive about SCC's return. It says it's been getting ratings comprable to
24.
I didn't know that - it seems that I've mostly been reading negative things about the ratings.
Oh man, there's all these newspaper and online articles saying it's a TV hit and FOX's biggest show in decades. Which it was - for the first episode. It's shit journalism.
Last night SCC got beat big style by Two and a Half Men. A repeat of Two and a Half Men, that is.
Time shifted numbers - for the week of February 11th.
Lost #3, SCC #5 and Jericho #8.
Galactica's Last Supper
Yeah, that's from the
Entertainment Weekly
article a while back. But without all the words!
Kevin, looks like you got the Fast Nationals wrong. From PI Feedback:
Over at Fox, the two-hour season-finale of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles scored a respectable 7.98 million viewers (#4) and a 3.1/ 8 among adults 18-49 #2) from 8-10 p.m. While Sarah Connor is no 24, it is still worthy of a second season.
I wish it had done better. Come on, the radio ads promised explosions! Will nothing make people tune in?
While Sarah Connor is no 24
I know a good way to increase ratings - SCC/24 crossover!
Huh. I actually got my numbers from PI Feedback - they revised them.
I still think 8 million viewers isn't to be sniffed at. I mean, 24 season one got that. It really depends how trigger happy FOX is feeling.
