Ratings and other interesting stuff...

Last night's shows on the CW network? Let's just say ouch, ouch, ouch! The premiere of America's Next Top Model - their huzzah huzzah best show and Ostroff's baby - 3.80 mil. viewers and 1.9/5 adults, the repeat of Pussycat Dolls 1.87 mil. viewers and 0.8/2 demo. All I can say is ouch! again...

Why do I post the ratings of shows that I don't even watch? To compare. People say that Supernatural is doing bad - but compare SPN's ratings to ANTM's. ANTM is said to be the flag ship of the CW. If it is so, then it's sinking fast. On the one hand, it's good for SPN, on the other hand, the whole network is failing...

And since I'm already talking about the CW - according to this article, it's possible that NBC will share - whatever that means in their hush-hush way of speaking - Friday Night Lights either with the CW, E!, G4 or TNT. I think that the CW could only benefit from that - I mean, they did lose Friday Night Smackdown and so far, they have no new pilots of their own planned for the next season - and fans would be happy...

Promo and an interview

A new promo vid for SPN ep 3x12. It looks awesome. Awesome! *bg*

Oh, also a new interview with Eric Kripke - no spoilers at all. The Charlotte Observer reporter asked some very intelligent questions and for once it wasn't about the "hot female additions" to the show but mostly about fandom and how Kripke perceived his online fans.

I especially liked this one:

Q. You won't know for sure until May about a fourth season, right?

Yes, I'm fairly confident there will be one. I'm never 100 percent confident. We are a bubble show. We've never gotten the kind of ratings that would knock us out of park and guarantee our return. At the end of every year, we've had to fight for our return a little bit. But this year, I think we've been doing solid in an impossible time slot. Plus, I think the network is really interested in the show for business reasons. We're nearing the kind of (episode) numbers you need for syndication, which we would hit next year. And we do well internationally for them, so there's a good chance for those reasons we'd be back.
