That seems decent for the CW. Good good.
More in line with a typical CW launch versus The Flash.

Anyone have any impressions of "Big Driver"? The promos make it seem like it could be amazing

Those are the same launch numbers as Starcrossed.
Even The Tomorrow People did better than a 0.6. Reign and The 100 did too. StarCrossed was the only new show last season that debuted under a 0.6.

AMC - 'All gore porn, all the time.'
A 0.6 in 2014 does not equal a 0.6 in 2013.
I dig this show, so I'm happy to read this news. Looking forward to the season finale this Sunday and season 2 after that.

Whatever else one might think, TVBTN got this right from the beginning. Comparing ratings across years only makes sense for macro-level trends, not for considering renewals, cancellations, or performance in any absolute sense. Roots got a hundred zillion people watching it; the worst-rated show in 1989 had more viewers that 90% of what's on TV today; shows targeted absolute ratings for a long time before shifting to targeting the demo. Lately we incorporate more longitudinal measures when we moved to Live to L+SD onward now to C+3 and onward still. Comparing UPN and WB ratings to CW ratings would be hilarious, and if shows were earning the ratings that got Veronica Mars shitcanned, today they'd be readily renewed.

The Affair: 0.14 demo, 507,000 total viewers. Thankfully Showtime doesn't care much about overnight ratings because that is awful. Definitely one of the biggest gulfs between quality and viewership ever.
The difficulty being the only other new show on The CW this year just put in a record so it is kinda difficult to say this is in line with other The CW launches. A 0.6 in 2014 isn't really remarkable considering how the shows debuted last year, even if there are less live TV viewers.
If CW acts logical and renews the five shows everyone expects it to renew, places on next years line-up will also be more difficult to get. They have 8/10 spots, five of them will be filled.
Aren't there also rumors about them doing another DC show next season?

The real issue with JtV isn't that it premiered to a 0.6, since that's a perfectly acceptable number for the CW in 2014, it's seeing where the ratings are at in a month or two.
They have iZombie on for this year, they might do Hourman, they might cooperate with TNT on Teen Titans.
But, it's not. Given ratings erosion, that's pretty much in line with you'd expect from a non-DC related show on the CW on a Monday night.
Also, given that CW will undoubtably renew CBS shows because, fuck, they co-own the network, all Jane really needs to do is beat Reign, Beauty and the Beast, and The Messengers. Not really the hardest task. And Jane the Virgin and Reign have much more oversees potential than anything else they have from CBS.

Predictions for Marry Me?
2.4
drinks are on me boyz!
Yeah thankfully Showtime doesn't care about that because that's pretty bad for L+SD.

Yikes. Did everyone watch it earlier on-demand or otherwise? I feel like it must have had some decent reach in the publicity department since even my mom had heard of it and was planning to give it a try, and she typically has no idea what's going on with cable/premium shows.
Cool. I've enjoyed the show well enough, although I'd like it to steer away from all the affair subplots, even if that means embracing increasingly unrealistic complications in the development of the bomb and other WWII era paranoias.
Its lead-in, The Voice, got a 2.5 last Tuesday. I say Marry Me does a 2.2 and About a Boy does a 2.0.
It was a clip show. An original episode the week before did a 4.1

Why would anyone overseas buy the cw remake instead of the popular original?
Because being a success in Venezuela is different than being a success in America.
It's why Ugly Betty can be more successful than Yo Soy Betty, La Fea overseas.

Renewed a few months ago.
Seriously? Yeees. I must have missed it while I was on my holiday.

Adalian with a quick look at The Affair numbers:
- Ratings: Showtimes The Affair Off to a Very Slow Start
- Ratings: Showtimes The Affair Off to a Very Slow Start
by the way: 2 shows that do sell internationally:
http://deadline.com/2014/10/ncis-ne...n-cbs-sells-to-overseas-market-mipcom-850806/
Why would anyone buy the original over the remake?
Why not both?
No idea who distributes the original around the world, but it may very well be,
that broadcaster who have access to the remake may have no option to get the original or vice versa.
Also even if it does not sell, CBS/paramount could sell them in output deals. If you want the latest packet of paramount blockbusters, you will also have to buy JtV

Did anyone see Kingdom? I was pleasantly surprised, that Jonas kid wasn't bad and I think their whole family dynamic is kind if interesting.
And that's Luke Cafferty from Friday Night Lights?!? Dude got SWOLE since then....but I've got a soft spot for anyone who's FNL alumni....even IF they go on to do John Carter...

Kingdom's my favorite new drama of the fall.

Sounds like someone hasn't watched Stalker yet.
My options are a Jane the Virgin, which is a comedy. How to Get Away with Murder, which is… fine. And The Affair, which is writerly and I don't particularly love memory plays a means to convey story.
If we're counting Transparent, I'd count Transparent.

How many episodes have you seen?
Of Kingdom? Just the pilot, but so far, it's winning!

I see, so only the pilot then. The trailer looked really bad to me so I've avoided it, but if it can maintain its quality I may eventually check it out.
