I'm a huge fan of Supernatural. This season they haven't really tried to deliver the by-the-books scares and instead have focused more on the show's own internal mythology.

It's not one of those series, at this point, that you just hop into and completely gel with. You've gotta watch Season 1. And to be honest, I find it to be far more consistent than SV, though, SV has a lot more going on within its universe.

 

[AgentPat]

Yeah, I watched the first couple of episodes and bits and pieces of the rest of the series (usually while posting here as the ep aired in the background LOL.) The only time I really turn around to *want* to see what's happening is when they play a cool piece of music. That's one thing SN has that I haven't found on any other show - they play Classic Heavy Rock! Wow! What a concept for today's tv. I mean... hello? Old Rush? WOW!

 

[Eros]

I've never understood this mentality. I don't watch SN - tried to get into it but it just didn't do it for me. So I personally could give two hoots whether it lives or dies in the ratings. Likewise, if you don't find the show scary or interesting (I didn't, but other people DO), why not just flip the channel?

I dun watch the show anymore, because of the reaosns already stated. Hence why i think it should be canceled, now what part of that did you not follow?

I think the question that she's asking is; why should the show be cancelled just because YOU dont like it? What about the other 3 and a half million people out there that do like it, dont their opinions count?

Wouldnt it be a more reasonable acton on your part to just change the channel.

I dun watch the show anymore, because of the reasons already stated. Hence why i think it should be canceled, now what part of that did you not follow?

The part where one individual's negative opinion of any show correlates with its need to be canceled.

This isn't the 50's anymore. The statement, "'Show X' sux, ergo it should be canceled," makes ZERO sense when there's hundreds of other alternatives to choose from in 'Show X's' time slot. Just because YOU don't like the show, it doesn't mean that other viewers agree with you or that the show should be canceled. If 'Show X' sucked in the public eye, everybody would flip the channel, the ratings would plummet, and the show *would* be canceled. But that doesn't seem to be the case right now, which is where the failure in logic arises, hence my confusion.

That better?

And yet you continue to come here to ***** at all of us about it... Really, if you don't even watch anymore, it's time to move on.

Curiouser and curiouser..

I like the show, but I will admit I never once got scared by any episodes so far.

Oh, I don't find it that scary at all. After all, it's TV! Generally, I seldom find TV shows "scary" and only once in a while are movies "scary." Books.. now books can scare the living **** out of me. I guess it has more to do with the untapped limitations of imagination.

I'm kind of big horror fan, but that's probably only my secondary reason for liking SPN so much. Yes, those guys are pretty.. VERY pretty, but it's their great chemistry that I find beyond charming to watch. They really ARE like brothers, in emotion and humor. The humor is my favorite part - I'm always cracking up at Dean's affinity for classic rock, and their constant teasing of each other. Now that I think of it, it's really similar to what I enjoyed about BtVS - humor and great character/actor chemistry.

The supernatural rateings are not to good. Why do you give a damn if i think a show should get canceled, how does my opinion effect you at all? Heres a thought, if you dun like my feelings on the show, so the hell what?

This is the first time ever i have commented on the show supernatural, when are these other times i have come here and **** about to all of you?

Oops. My bad.
I apologize, Eros. I thought you were talking about SV.

But it still shouldn't be canceled.

First off, calm down. Second off, reread my first post. I said "I've never understood this mentality." I said that because it's something I see often - somebody doesn't like a show and then says "it should be canceled." It's a mentality that never made sense to me. I didn't chastise you on your feelings about SN. In fact... I AGREED with you. I don't watch it either.

I don't watch MOST shows on TV today. I find most of the BS they slap on television to be worthless tripe and completely boring. But I've never suggested that such shows be canceled. It just seems like an odd thing to say - as if my single opinion should change what a network does because *I* don't like the material.

Man. I cant wait for it to end. I live in a house with four other males, and all I've heard for the last week, is the Chargers this, the Chargers that.

Put me out of my misery and tell me when's the Superbowl?

These numbers have got to be a season hight for SV on the CW, right?

Household rating and share is listed first, followed by total number of viewers (in millions) and adult 18-49 rating and share.

I find it interesting that it always picks up steam in the second half. Do people just channel flick during the first half, and then depending on how things are going, settle in for the second.

 

[AgentPat]

These numbers have got to be a season hight for SV on the CW, right?

Yes. Expect a press release from CW on this VERY soon!

SV posted its best numbers of the season with 5.3 million total viewers and was up 30 percent week-to-week in adults 18-34, to a 2.6 rating.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

wow, nice numbers for Smallville, and those are just the fast nationals so I'm sure the actuals will be even a bit better although SN's retention out of SV is pretty bad losing like 35%+ of the viewers.

 

[Eros]

I was expecting more viewers, but this is still very good.

 

[AgentPat]

Very good? LOL SV was #2 behind only NBC in adult demos.

I'm tellin' yas, CW is gonna play this up, and well they should.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

I'd love to know what the Tivo/DVR figures were for this episode

Yay! I thought it would do well, but I'm really glad to have it confirmed.

Perhaps this bodes well for a spin-off of some sorts.

 

[AgentPat]

Probably pretty high. As it is, SV often lands in the top 10 of time-shifted programming, which is amazing in itself.

Tough to say, but here's the latest regarding SV from Mark Berman, who is currently attending the CW winter press tour and posting updates as they're announced:

"There is no early pick-up, but you can count on Smallville returning."

Geeze Marc, tell us something we don't already know. LOL

[Brainiac 8]

Good to know that Smallville is still doing well, especially since the competition is pretty fierce that night.

Hello....second rated show on CW....like we all didn't figure it would come back.

Variety's take:

Thursday wealth divided
Ratings Flash -- Rick Kissell
By VARIETY STAFF
ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and CBS' "CSI" put up the best numbers once again on Thursday this week, but it was a night for less celebrated skeins like "Ugly Betty," "Smallville" and "Shark" to also shine. The Alphabet led in adults 18-49, and CBS in total viewers.

According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, "Ugly Betty" (4.5 rating/12 share in adults 18-49, 14.1 million viewers overall) — coming off its Golden Globes victory on Monday — matched its second best demo delivery to date and drew its largest overall audience since Oct. 5. The hourlong comedy led its timeslot among young adults, overtaking NBC laffers "My Name Is Earl" (4.2/11 in 18-49, 9.7 million viewers overall) and "The Office" (4.5/11 in 18-49, 9.3 million viewers overall). CBS ran third in demos with a repeat of "CSI" (3.4/9 in 18-49, 12.3 million viewers overall).

Also in the hour, the Justice League episode of "Smallville" established season highs for the skein (2.3/6 in 18-49, 5.2 million viewers overall), which ranked second for its hour in men 18-34 (2.8/9).

At 9 o'clock, "Grey's Anatomy" (8.7/20 in 18-49, 21.9 million viewers overall) led in key demos over CBS' "CSI" (6.9/16 in 18-49, 21.3 million viewers overall), although both were down vs. their most recent firstrun perfs. NBC's "Scrubs" (2.9/7 in 18-49, 6.6 million viewers overall) was on the low end with a musical episode, and "30 Rock" (2.4/6 in 18-49, 5.1 million viewers overall) was below average as well.

It was another slow night for Fox's "Til Death" (2.1/6 in 18-49, 5.1 million viewers overall), "The War at Home" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 4.4 million viewers overall) and "The OC" (1.7/4 in 18-49, 3.9 million viewers overall), although "Death" logged its best score since late September.

At 10, a repeat "ER" on NBC (2.5/7 in 18-49, 6.1 million viewers overall) provided an opportunity for rival dramas "Shark" on CBS (4.4/12 in 18-49, 15.0 million viewers overall) and "Men in Trees" on ABC (3.7/10 in 18-49, 10.7 million viewers overall) to shine. "Shark" matched its best delivery to date in key demos while "Men" was a tick off its best score since moving behind "Grey's" on Nov. 30.

Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: ABC, 5.6/14; CBS, 4.9/12; NBC, 3.2/8; Univision, 2.1/5; CW, 1.9/5; Fox, 1.8/5.

In total viewers: CBS, 16.2 million; ABC, 15.6 million; NBC, 7.2 million; Univision, 4.7 million; Fox, 4.3 million; CW, 4.3 million.
