MovieGuyKyle16 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Their slightly better. That "0.2"difference may seem minor and small, but really it's gigantic.well to me since NBC gave Parks a great lead in last year (they had The Office lead in) they should of built a good audience during that time and they should of proven themselves by putting the show before Community. But instead their getting the lucky break and being put at 8:30. Makes no sense in my book.

Cedarpoint1111 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I mostly just watch Fox. Of the shows I do watch on NBC, America's Got Talent, The Voice, and Smash when it premiers. I don't understand why their ratings are so epic fail. They have a huge monster audience every Sunday during football so they obviously have a good place to advertise their shows. They all suck I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm just corssing my fingers for Parks. It deserves a long run. It's so great. It's one of the only shows that has that total "feel good" vibe to me, where I'm always smiling when I watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) NBC has been having lots of trouble in the ratings for awhile and to make matters worse their new show "The Firm" which started last night came in last place with a 1.5 rating. The network reportedly ordered 22 episodes before the show even aired. My question is if you ran NBC what would you do to get those ratings up??Well, to be fair, most of the cost of the show (The Firm) was paid by Sony (IIRC) so NBC's up front costs isn't very much.

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted January 11, 2012 Community Manager Share Posted January 11, 2012 I mostly just watch Fox.

Most of them are critical, cult darlings. Which means that they don't suck, they just don't seem to appeal to mainsteam America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I do too, and considering Seinfeld and Friends ended their runs in 98 and 04, both shows still hold up very well with repeat viewing.Oh and we can't forget Law and Order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Watched The Firm. There are 2 things I hate. Showing a 2 minute scene and then going back earlier in time. Not filling the missing period in the first episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I still a watch a few shows on the main networks, Parks and Rec, the Middle, Modern Family, Person of Interest. And then cable I'll watch Justified and Breaking Bad. But lately I've been watching ME-TV . Which shows programs from the 50's to the 80's. So I've caught some old Cheers episodes. The orginal Mission Impossible series. The original Hawaii Five-O. And of course the Twilight Zone which still holds today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle16 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ratings just came in from last night and the almighty 30 Rock (which got moved to the 8:00pm slot and I also enjoy the show) got a 1.8 rating. I'm very surprised but now Community has a good case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 So it went up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Things keep getting worse. I expect The Firm to be pulled within a week. 30 Rock, one of the network's flagship shows, does Community's ratings (in its premiere) and proves that no comedy will play against Big Bang Theory. Whitney and Chelsea didn't completely sink, but they're up against Idol next week. Smash needs to live up to its name or NBC could be screwed.
