Of Riptide and TV shows...

[katikat]

Yay, I watched Riptide, ep 2x01. The girls were terribly, awfully annoying. Grr! I couldn't believe that they used this ep as a season opener. And let me tell you, I like Ken Olandt but his part here annoys me terribly. But it was great to see young Claudia Christian and George Clooney :D

Interesting things:
- Cody's family is obviously rich and Nick didn't know about it. I wonder why...
- Nick was dumped by a rich girl, even though her parents learned to really like him.
- Nick is an awesome awesome guy and Cody really needs to grow up *sigh*
- Murray sneaking into the comp room! Ha!

I liked the scenes with the guys, they were rather revealing, but I think that they could have toned the girls down a bit.

Oh my, new SGA tonight! New Psych next week! New Eureka in two weeks! I love summer, some of my most favorite shows premiere! I'm so looking forward to all of them :)

But it looks like SPN won't return until Oct. 2nd, the day SV premieres? I mean, the CW wanted to air both shows together, right? So, no new SPN until October? That hurts... :(

But, according to PiFeedback, SPN drew in 1.90 mil. viewers this week and thus it was the most watched series on the CW! (I don't count Friday Night Smackdown because that's dropping from the CW's schedule anyway.) It did better than SV in numbers and almost as well in the demo: SV 0.7/3, SPN 0.7/2. At least something. GoGi, Reaper, OTH - none of the shows broke the 1.20 mil. treshold.

October, really? Ouch! \o/ I've seen so many different possible airdates, stretching all the way through September. But, man, October! Eek!

It made me quite upset too. I mean, I know that the CW is relying on their teenie shows these year and they consider SV and SPN reliable enough to fend for themselves but a little bit more care and promotion wouldn't hurt :(

I have done a recap of this with pics hun, over at pier56. I've talked about your questions, too. Come look if you've got time.

I'll come back later and tell you here what I think about those points you raise too.

*HUGS* - Yay for Season 2!!!!

Cody's family is obviously rich and Nick didn't know about it. I wonder why...
My postulation was "Cody meets Nick in Vietnam and realises their backgrounds don't match. He deliberately plays his background as a better match for Nick's. Awwwwwwwww. ♥"

Nick is an awesome awesome guy and Cody really needs to grow up *sigh*
Nick really really is. But I actually was quite happy with Cody in this one.

Murray sneaking into the comp room! Ha!
The best! :D

Yup, that sounds reasonable. Especially if he found out about that rich girl that dumped Nick...

But I actually was quite happy with Cody in this one.

I minded a bit that he felt the need to prove that he's not "old" which made him do some rather foolish things...

Yeah. LOVES

Yeah, but that's so Cody... have to love him anyway...
