BM/WW IR sightings on TV

[newmantoplease]

Well this wouldn't be the first time a solid show was cancelled too soon lol.

Here's where I got my info: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/l...-guide-whats-new-renewed-canceled-far-1204461

Here's the part about Fam....
Fam | The midseason multicamera comedy created by Corinne Kingsbury and starring Tone Bell and The Vampire Diaries fan favorite Nina Dobrev never really caught on. The series got off to a rocky start after showrunner Bob Kushell was fired after he allegedly used inappropriate language on the set of the midseason comedy. Despite a marketable star and being owned in-house (and hailing from prolific producer Aaron Kaplan's Kapital Entertainment), Fam finished the season as CBS' second lowest-rated comedy.

Apparently I was wrong before, Fam was the lowest rates comedy overall, not just among new comedies. All that said, I'm still REALLY hoping to see it renewed.

Edit: You also mentioned The Good Place, another favorite of mine. That shows ratings haven't been great either. But I found this article, which discussed how it may be more popular than traditional ratings show.

Ayo imma be real with you bruh, I don’t even need to read it to know that information about The Good Place is probably wrong or there’s some confusion, TGP is incredibly trendy and “in” Lol it also has a pretty big fanbase too from what I’ve seen, c’mon do you really see TGP getting cancelled like the other scrubs and Fam? Lmao.

They are trying to survive, since cable is dying and everything is switching to streaming. Desperation.

Good point. I guess it's all a sign of the times. But I still think taking a slightly longer view would pay off. Then again haven't worked in the TV industry a day in my life lol

No, I don't think The Good Place is anywhere close to being cancelled. I only mentioned it because there was mention of it's having low traditional ratings.

Yep, it’s just more dated technology. In a few years we will be streaming in 8k resolution and in about 10 years we will be watching 16k or 32k with our android love bots with computer love by Roger Zapp playing in the background.

Fam's ratings vs a show on another Network doesn't matter, Especially if they don't both air in the same timeslot. What matters is Fam's ratings vs other CBS shows

Fam and The Good Place were in the same time slot. And on Thursdays They were third in the line up next to Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory.

Didn't Fam premiere after The Good Place's season ended though?

Fam debuted January 10th and The Good Place had it's finale January 24th so it was airing at the same time during the last three episode of The Good Place's season 3.

I tried to support this show too even though I only watched the pilot I put it on my DVR schedule so it would still get numbers. Guess that didn't work huh?

 

[Young Herschel]

Wow!!! They put all that $$$$ into promoting "The Passage" and FOX has killed it???? They took like 3 years to finally release it this January only to throw all that time and money away huh?? Makes no sense to me . . . why not run it on Netflix to see if it could catch on but I thought its Freshman ratings were solid at 5.0 about??

Smh. Can't trust TV anymore. They're just not giving these shows a snowball's chance! This doesn't create good sustainability and loyalty with the fans. Most people invest in a show to see it again next season. They keep asking people to invest in new characters for new shows and that is going to be extremely hard to do. Because people are going to be worried that if they do that and if the show isn't averaging 1 to 20 million viewers right off the bat then they're going to cancel it.

They're going to wind up ruining viewership on TV and streaming networks if they keep going at this pace. Letting something grow is the best way to create something grand.
