TV shows...

[katikat]

I'm still so hurt and angry and frustrated over the cancellation of my favorite show, SGA, probably because I was so sure that Stargate Atlantis would be the one show that would be picked up for at least one more season for sure. How one can be mistaken...

And that made me think of other shows and their fate this season... So, let's make a prediction:
Bones - 50/50, it'll depend on if the writers can bring back fans that were miffed by the previous season's finale.
Chuck - will be canceled because it was never a real hit and only the strike saved it.
Eureka - will continue because the Sci-fi didn't forget to mention that it brings in the same ratings as SGA in the cancellation news.
Flashpoint - will be canceled or delegated to a stand-in or a summer show.
NCIS - will continue. The demo is bad but it draws in a LOT of viewers otherwise.
Numb3rs - 50/50. It'll depend on how the cast changes will affect the ratings.
Psych - 50/50 but if this will be Monk's last season, Psych will end too.
Smallville - will be canceled.
Supernatural - will be canceled. If the CW survives, it'll refuse to support it anymore regardless of the WB's insistence.
The Mentalist - will be canceled after 6 or 12-13 episodes because people won't watch it on principle: it airs on CBS and/or it's similar to Psych or Profiler.
The Middleman - will be canceled. The ratings are just bad.

I really wonder what shows I will watch if my prediction pans out...

Still totally gutted about losing Atlantis...

Eureka isn't doing that well - I mean, what's the whole deal with having product placement episodes if not an indication that they're short on money?

And Supernatural is going to end? I haven't been following the news there at all, so I have no idea what's going on with it... Last I heard, it was doing well, and Kripke was the one who wanted to end it after season 5.

And Psych isn't doing well, either?

*whimper*

Me too. Would you believe that I actually cried my eyes out when I found out? I really cried. I didn't fell for this show until this May and now they canceled it.

Eureka is doing as well as SGA live but SGA does much better in the Live+7 ratings. And I think that Eureka is much cheaper because there are less special effects.

Supernatural does better than every other show on the CW except for Smallville. But it does bad in the teenager demo that the CW craves. The WB is pushing SPN hard because they earn a lot of money internationally but I fear that the CW won't renew it for a 5th season.

And Psych isn't doing actually bad but it's doing worse than Monk and USA Network now has shows like In Plain Sight and Burn Notice that break their ratings records so I'm not sure if USA will keep Psych when Monk ends (which will happen this season, I think).

I do hope you're wrong on most of those, but I agree with the SV prediction. That one needs to be put out of its misery.

I'm afraid that I will be right. After this cancellation, I lost my optimism. I will better think of every one of the shows I like as being on its last season, especially SPN. If I started to hope again and then they canceled it, I would be gutted even more.

I understand. *Sigh*

Middleman would do better if they hadn't moved it to 10 pm - it's not a ten o'clock show.

I'm downloading the series and I will watch it in one go once this season is over. There'll be only 12 eps, so only 2 more...

[bodgei.livejournal.com]

yeah I only saw the first few eps because it moved to ten and I'm in bed by then. I don't have the option of downloading. Ah well I liked the eps I saw - I still think it was a mistake to move it to 10 but I'm not a network programer - but I also have no way to effect ratings - I am not an neilson family, nor do I have a DVR/tivo thingy. To networks I am an non person. LOL
