Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That got 12 million viewers.
I'd be curious about the falloff. I watched because I couldn't not. But oh, the torment.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'd be curious about the falloff.
Well, it was only a backdoor pilot. They haven't ordered it to series yet.
Rescue Me is also a summer show which does weell.
The 4400 also did well, at one point bringing in USA's highest ratings ever. That may have just been the miniseries/first season, though.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Given the way they let it peter out with a much-delayed announcement of cancellation, I'd guess it wasn't pulling in good numbers at the end.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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
Knight Rider was that bad, huh? How do you screw that up?

Maybe word of mouth spread with people telling friends and relatives they had to see how crappy it was for themselves?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It was actually worse than I expected.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
My brother said that he liked it. He thought it was purposefully campy and stupid. I couldn't see it. Through the pain.

It's a talking car that fights crime. I just don't get how you can screw that up. Like, you'd have to TRY to screw it up. We used to play Knight Rider when we were little kids and come up with good storylines for crying out loud.
