Shows do not work that way here. Aside from the Eastern/Central pairing, The Shrike Send a noteboard - 08/10/2009 09:07:35 PM
I wanted to like Vampire Diaries, but its a pale comparison to True Blood. I like Cougar Town. It really is remarkable how much better shows on cable can be that don't have to subscribe to network standards. They should get rid of network standards and just give ratings to everything and let parents decide what their children can watch after 8pm EST.

with the "EST" I think you touch upon the problem with that: 8pm EST is 6pm Mountain time and 5 PM Pacific. I have to admit I've never quite understood how that works anyway, but the logical conclusion would be it's impossible to just go with the "late on the evening you can show anything, if kids see it it's their parents fault" line that European channels can use.


Mountain and Pacific both start their shows at 8pm local time.

So you're the reason the ratings are so poor! False information! Craig - 10/10/2009 06:25:27 PM 593 Views
I don't know why they think Castle will draw particularly well against MNF... silly. Jacob - 08/10/2009 06:25:51 PM 592 Views
I think they should move Castle to Tuesdays at 9 MightyYT - 08/10/2009 06:48:04 PM 585 Views
Cougar Town is amusing. Not as good as United States of Tara or Weeds, though. The Shrike - 08/10/2009 07:13:01 PM 597 Views
I'd agree about the network standards, but... Legolas - 08/10/2009 07:41:10 PM 549 Views

Ah, that makes more sense. Legolas - 08/10/2009 10:00:28 PM 562 Views
I'm unsure. Something like American Idol? I dont know what the cutoff times are or how they do it. The Shrike - 09/10/2009 05:03:59 AM 519 Views

Dollhouse needs a new network. I'm sure that ABC or CBS, even NBC, could make this show popular. Bryce - 09/10/2009 06:40:27 AM 678 Views
If FOX drops it, I think its best chance for ratings success would by the SyFy Channel. TaskmasterJack - 09/10/2009 06:31:53 PM 586 Views
