I've also come to the conclusion that some people will watch CBS no matter what repetitive crap they put on the network. I mean for the love of god, how many crime dramas can you watch?

Come back when you know what you're talking about. You obviously know NOTHING about how ratings really work.Billy Batson said:
Hysterical. Truly hysterical!
They were? That's a new one.
Y'know, I'm FAR from being a fan of SR, but the last thing the film will do is hurt SV.WTF? This season is Superman in Training. If you want to see him flying around in the tights, SV is not for you. The whole premise of the show is to elaborate on the events in Superman's life *before* he became known to the world as Superman.
If you don't enjoy it now, five seasons in, you never will. Please, stop watching it before you hurt yourself.
Later dude. Life is tough. Get a helmet.Sign me off! SMALLVILLE is like,SO OVER!

Yeah, they usually do quite well out of the gate on premiere night and then start losing numbers before leveling off. This is typical for MOST returning shows, particularly ones with cliffhangers from the previous season. Networks usually pay more attention to a show's ratings figures during its second and third week into the season, which is why some Nets wait a week or so before premiering - it makes other shows look bad when *their* numbers drop. The World Series and football season are going to take a toll too, but at least those threats will apply to everybody except the network they're broadcast on. Anyhoo, I seriously don't expect the ratings for Mortal to be as high as they were for Arrival, but I'm hoping the decline is modest.Zing79 said:

Not to dig up this debate again, but SV is to The WB like Lost and Desperate Housewives is to ABC. It's *other* shows on The WB that are dragging their overall ratings into the mud.Billy Batson said:

Here's an excerpt...
Between the networks aggressive Kill Em All, Let Nielsen Sort Em Out programming tactics and an unusual amount of new shows that dont make you want to repeatedly bash your skull against the TV screen until the sweet release of cathode blackout takes hold (well, once Head Cases was canceled), scheduling quality time with the new television season has been a beeotch. My own overworked TiVo is substituting its factory-standard bloop bloop bloop sound effect for Christ! Read a book or something already!
To make your/my busy life simpler, True TV is going to tell you exactly what to watch first, what to record for later viewing and what to avoid like Jennifer Garner at Baby Gap.
Thursdays
Watch: When Foxs Major League Baseball coverage mercifully ends in November, The O.C. and Reunion are too soaptastic to experience without commercial breaks in which to ask yourself, WTF? Until then, try Smallville and Everwood on The WBless funny, more flannel. Or maybe Everybody Hates Chris (UPN) nah.
Record: Alias (ABC), CSI and Without a Trace (CBS), due to their obvious storylines that make as much sense in fast-forward as they do in real time.
Avoid: Survivor: Guatemala (CBS), The Night Stalker (ABC) and everything on NBC and UPN.
