Well, so much for "Runaway." Now, tell me why Everwood or Aquaman didn't get picked up again?

'Runaway' lost in shuffle as CW axes first drama


By Staff report

"Runaway" has run aground.

The CW drama has been axed after four airings. The series from Sony Pictures Television, revolving around a family who goes on the lam after the father is wrongly accused of murder, opened to weak numbers in the Monday 9 p.m. slot behind "7th Heaven" late last month.

CW shifted "Heaven" and "Runaway" from Monday to Sunday last week, but the change didn't help "Runaway," which averaged 1.8 million viewers in its last airing. CW has pulled the show entirely and will fill the Sunday 9 p.m. slot with repeats for the time being.

"Runaway" joins the CBS drama "Smith" as one of the first causalities of the new television season, and it now has the distinction of being the first cancellation by the network born out of the fusion of UPN and WB Network. CW fielded only two new series in its first fall slate, "Runaway" and the comedy "The Game."

Sunday at 9 was a death sentence anyway. A little thing called Desperate Housewives made sure of that
 
it seems to me the cw wants to go to war with the bug guys the way they scheduled their shows, when they should be doing counter-programming.
 
I fear for when American Idol starts on Thursdays, that's going to hurt all the major shows that night.:csad:
 
AI didn't come on at the same night as SV. :huh:

So yeah...it had no impact. :p
 
I just found this post over at DeKnight's Blog. Very interesting...

Trek' Ratings in Black Hole

By Staff, STAFF

(Broadcasting & Cable) _ The Starship Enterprise is missing. Wormhole? Rift in the space-time continuum? No. Trouble processing ratings for The CW.

Last month, Paramount Domestic Television re-released the 40-year-old original Star Trek series into syndication for the first time in a decade and a half. But ratings for the first two weeks that the digitally remastered episodes aired on The CW fell into a black hole in the national syndicated rankings report.

It seems Nielsen has had to reprocess ratings on 20 shows running on The CW's cable and digital outlets due to the misclassification of smaller-market affiliates of the new network, which replaced UPN and The WB.

A Nielsen spokeswoman said the reprocessed ratings from the first two weekSept. 18-24 and Sept. 25- Oct. will be released sometime next week.

In its first week of actually appearing in the national rating the week ended Oct. Trek posted a 1.3 rating for its weekend runs (3 a.m. in New York). That's not far behind the 1.5 rating for WB holdover Smallville.

Never understimate the power of Shatner.

So some of the markets arent being picked up by Nielsen.
 
That's because Shatner is the father of modern sci fi television.:o :word:

I'm not sure if you missed my point or not, so I'll explain why I posted that. :yay:

They were confused as to why Star Trek didnt rate better and when they did some research they discovered that Nielsen wasnt picking up all the affiliate markets, or some technical garbo like that.

But if they arent picking it up for one show then it stands to reason that Nielsen arent picking it up for all the CW shows.

Smallville was on Wednesdays last year?! :wow:

Oh wait...I repeat: :p

Doh, you're right cmill, I forgot AI was on Tuesdays and Wednsdays. I was thinking Wed and Thurs for some reason. Oops. :O

And Avid, I got the point, I was just stating fact.:word: :cwink:

Nice thought avid. . . it may also explain some of the million fall off. Have to wait and see what the new ratings come up as.

i should be in charge of programming for the CW, aquaman would have gotten picked up, cyborg would have been greenlit, the flasjh would be in creative development, and all would be right with the world.

Right there with you!

But, to expand on that... what about MARVEL and DC team up together to create the 'superhero' station. That would ROCK!!! I mean, think of all the potential.

It's time for the heroes. The Superheroes.

Well that just sucks. I actually enjoyed that show. The poor ratings is due to poor .. and I mean poor advertisment for the show. :cmad:
 
From past numbers, the majority of the viewership is from the two home cities. So hopefully not too much.
