Empire Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Had no idea this came back yesterday. Networks do terrible jobs of telling people when shows come back on the air. Yeah, they really do. If I didn't have it on my DVR, I would have had no idea it was a new episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 And it matches the series low for probably the best episode. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/01/08/tv-ratings-tuesday-decent-start-for-intelligence-killer-women-doa-marvels-agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-ties-low-new-girl-down-the-goldbergs-dads-up/227557/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This show is fucked. Sadly, you are right. Well, maybe not sadly since the series overall has been pretty poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Liked the episode Shame about the ratings, but eh, I'm cursed that any major network show I watch gets cancelled within a season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Sadly, you are right. Well, maybe not sadly since the series overall has been pretty poor. Definitely 'sadly', it's got so much better over the season. Last episode was easily the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceroll Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I quit after episode 2 but maybe if they made all the episodes as good as the last one (allegedly cause I haven't seen it) maybe the ratings wouldn't be so poor now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Clark Gregg just called fans who stopped watching "losers" If you’ve given up on "Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," Clark Gregg has pretty much given up on you. Even if you’re a self-identified geek. "Those aren’t geeks. Those are losers," the man who plays Agent Coulson said on the set of his show, somewhere in Los Angeles. (The producers want to keep exactly where kind of quiet, perhaps to keep the fanboys and fangirls away.) There has been lots of grumbling from fans about the show, a spinoff of sorts from movies like "Iron Man," "Captain America," "Thor" and "The Avengers." "We’re turning that into a TV show and we’re doing that with characters that people don’t know," said executive producer Jeffrey Bell. "And so there were expectations." Not just from the fans, but from critics, who generally supported the show. ABC’s initial tagline was, "Not all heroes are super." "But there are still people online who go, ‘We don’t understand why Iron Man isn’t on the show!’ " said executive producer Jeph Loeb. "You know what? He’s not. I love Robert [Downey Jr.] — not coming by anytime soon." The producers, writers and cast all insist that the slow build "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." went through in its first dozen episodes was necessary to build toward what Loeb described as "the incredible momentum and urgency of what’s going to happen." Gregg compared it to eating "the healthy stuff first" and saving "the dessert" for later. "We’re deep in dessert right now." Network TV is not the most patient of mediums. Series get yanked after two or three episodes. And yet the people behind "S.H.I.E.L.D." seem surprised that viewers haven’t been altogether patient with a show that took 12 episodes working toward the good stuff. Ming-Na Wen, who stars as Agent Melinda May, admitted she’s frustrated with some of the fan reaction. "I love our fans so much, but they want the end of it already," she said. "We have 22 episodes and, hopefully, years to come of stories and developing characters, and all we want is our fans to just be patient and not come down hard. Go with us. It’s a slower ride." "Hopefully, a five-year-plus ride," interjected Brett Dalton, who stars as Agent Grant Ward. "And I think all of the stuff that they want, we have in store." The normally super-secret Marvel — where you need a Level 7 clearance just to get onto the set — is opening up about some of what’s in store in the next few episodes: • Mike Peterson (J. August Richards) will be revealed as the cyborg Deathlok in the Feb. 4 episode. The character has existed for 40 years in comic books; this is his first appearance on film. • Also on Feb. 4, comics legend Stan Lee — co-creator of "S.H.I.E.L.D." in print — will make a cameo appearance. • In an upcoming episode, Lady Sif (Jamie Alexander) will cross over from the Thor movies to "S.H.I.E.L.D." She’ll come to Earth in pursuit of Lorelei (Elena Satine), another Asgardian who is a minor villain in the Marvel comics. • Also upcoming — Bill Paxton will appear in several episodes as Agent John Garrett, a tough S.H.I.E.L.D. operative introduced in the comic books in 1986. "You start to have people like Deathlok showing up," Gregg said. "You start to understand that a bunch of these different episodes were connected. A lot of the geeks that I respect most … are very excited about where we’re going. So I’m going to choose to work for them." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I can't believe that due to the Olympics it's causing the normally Feb sweeps period to be delayed. Next new episode(s) don't start back till March 4th now!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
