    Rooting for Fringe. Expensive show, modest ratings, production costs might the deciding issue.

    Being in the "Time Slot of Death" doesn't help its ratings

    The thing is, I don't watch tv by "when it's on" anymore. I download the episodes and watch them when its convenient. I wonder whether that affects ratings for a show like Fringe, which appeals to a geeky crowd(?)

    I haven't had a cable tv subscription in 3 years or so. . . About the only thing I miss are live sports,everything else is actually more convenient as a download

    Unfortunately, even with as outdated as it is, it's still the Neilsen Ratings that determine the fate of TV shows. I think in this day and age that it's completely ridiculous that TV networks still put any faith in the Neilsen numbers.

    I totally agree... the Neilson ratings are dribble. I still can't believe a better system hasn't been put in place

    There are only two not safe that I care about:
    One Tree Hill (The CW) - not for me, but my girlfriend loves it. I've never seen an episode... I imagine it's awful

    Outsourced (NBC) - it's not a great show, but it's funny and I usually watch it because it comes on right after shows that I do like. And I have a HUGE crush on indian girls

    Cool, interesting post lance

    I hope The Event comes back, I like that show. Detroit 187, while it was cool to see a show filmed in Detroit, it was a pretty run of the mill cop show - pretty boring IMO.


    I am fixed

    "Somedays I wake up and feel like nobody loves me. Other days I wake up and feel like I love nobody. Sometimes I wake up and feel tired, and worn out. Sometimes I wake up and feel like I cannot face the day. But someday I'll wake up and realize that waking up is pretty stupid because it just makes you feel like crap."

    There's 2 shows I like in the bottom 2 categories, so it doesn't look good for those

    Human Target and The Cape (which I understand is already canceled)
