For the most part, the stars on Dancing with the Stars are really only known by the 50+ or -18.

It's sad that shit show Scorpion get's more viewers than Sleepy Hollow. Who the hell keeps watching it?

Here's an idea: BRING BACK WAREHOUSE 13. Christ, that was an idiotic decision. Almost as dumb as making Myka and Pete fall in love.
Another MTV show based on an old movie that starred a Canadian? I'm in.

Don't forget it's minus Ghostface.

We're talking about the network that canceled Farscape...
and didn't bring it back despite having one of the most massive and organized "save the show" campaigns

I'll agree with this. Weird how niche channel was run by people who didn't particularly like its niche.
oh? problem?

I believe the network was run by completely different people during Farscape, wasn't it?
Is there any news on Continuum?

Rafa pls
At its worst it's Happy Endings lite, but the good Happy Endings, not the iffy Happy Endings of the first episodes

I still need to check out Mysteries of Lauar but I'm behind a lot on my tv. Debra a messing was one of my first crushes growing up.

The bearded friend character certainly reminded me immediately of Dave.
Marry Me has a better follow up but it still felt a little slow to me. I'm kinda glad in retrospect that ABC didn't air the first season of Happy Endings in production order, honestly.

Pretty much same here, except my wife still watches. I caught some of the 3rd episode and saw the amnesia angle which cemented my decision to continue not watching.
haha, accurate.
Hey if you enjoy shitty TV, more power to ya.

Every generation of TV tries takin a swing at being Columbo or Macmillan & Wife.
Another quirky cop show for the bin.
I'm watching it in production order for the first time and I'm right in it. Doesn't feel like a slow start, good fun.
But then again, I also liked the first season of Parks & Rec. A season that almost everyone seems to hate
I just hope they don't screw up the Expanse, the book series is really fun and deserves a great TV adaption.

He's talking about Live and you're countering with Live +7... Flash did outdo Arrow in Live but it only reached "most watched" with DVR viewers.

Single-handedly caused Exxon-Mobil to sue FOX, start World War 3
CBS caters to a very interesting audience.

Flash seems to be normalizing to the CW's standards
Not sure what expected, but thought the buzz about Age of Ultron stuff would have translated to more for SHIELD, but it is up!

As he alludes to though, cable has become a great place for sitcoms lately. So many great ones debuted on cable this past season. If broadcast has ever had a season that gave us something like Broad City, Review, You're The Worst, Married, Rick and Morty, Playing House, Garfunkel and Oates*, Benched** - even after deducting points for not having to make 22 episodes a year - that would have been an outstanding season. And I'm probably forgetting or leaving out the pay cable and streaming ones too.
* TBH, I like G&O a lot but it's a notch below most of the others I mentioned.
** probably, anyways.
It's a real shame the networks have gone in so hard on high concept pitches. Slightly lower concept stuff like Community ('s original premise), Go On, etc, are more than enough to hang a cast around. Hell, if anything Happy Endings was handicapped at first by having to service its premise at first before they could ditch it and just be a hangout sitcom.
Solid article, thanks for the link. I gave up on A to Z. I enjoyed the first two eps of Marry Me so I'm hoping that sticks around a bit longer.

ABC shouldnt have cancelled Suburgatory
NBC shouldnt have cancelled Community
Fox should have bought Siberia
One thing the article doesnt talk about is how all the shows that arent doing well? Yeah, none of them are actually good.
I gave Selfie, A to Z and Manhattan 2 episodes. They all lost me.
Even Mixology had more staying power.
I wonder if The Last Man on Earth will actually air.
This is a great read.

So SyFy might become worth watching again?
This could be interesting.
Great article. Greenwald's unending love for YTW is so entertaining.
Seriously. They need to go ahead and make a decision. Good or bad. The cast and crew are going to have to move on to new projects soon.
Sci fi can be popular?! Who knew.
Not like some of the biggest shows and movies have ever been science fiction, oh wait....
But seriously, good news!

I believe there were some changes at the network and the directional shift away from Sci Fi was an attempt to bank on the lower cost and boon in popularity of "reality." Glad to see a shift back to what it should be though.
