BM/WW IR sightings on TV

These casting directors just do not give a shit. There has to be some logic to this portrayal of an IR family unit

LOL, these post from the "IR in Ads" thread got me thinking about the current season 7 of "Arrow". They're doing flashforward scenes as opposed to flashback scenes like they been doing the entire series before the current season. They reintroduced John Diggle Jr. as a young adult in the flashforward scenes the last few episodes & he's darkskin despite Lyla being he's mother:

It's such lazy casting. Why is he is way darker than he's black father?

Wait, that dude is supposed to be a biracial character on the show? Wow, that is bad casting.

Just watched this week's episode of "Fam" (Season 1, Episode 7; Actually episode 4 if we're going by the correct production number order) @darkcurry. Another good episode. Flashbacks & I can't believe they used the term "Man Meat" on a network sitcom.

It's legit distracting & completely takes me out of the show whenever he's onscreen.

Watching last week's of "Legacies" (Season 1, Episode 9) right now. I didn't see this Hope-Landon-Rafael triangle coming. I swear this show has so many different love triangles going on so far, I can't keep up with them. And you have characters who are involved in multiple triangles, so it's hard to get attached to 1.

Watching this week's episode of "Legacies" (Season 1, Episode 11). They introduced yet ANOTHER IR triangle in this episode, except this time it consists of faculty members instead of students: Alaric, Emma Tig the witch school guidance counselor, & Dorian the Librarian/research assistant.

I don't know what 1 has do with another though. I care a lot more about "Friends from College" than I do "The Innocents" if we're being honest, if I had to choose only 1 of the 2 could get renewed, I'd choose "Friends from College".

Well that's the direction we are headed hopefully. I guess it's of the opinion but The Innocents is way more creative and engaging. And a IR Love Story that was beautiful.

I saw and DID not see that coming. But I don't really think it's a love triangle because her face at the end looked like she was sorry she mislead him.

I don't like The Rafael/Hope/Landon love "triangle". But that's not really a love triangle either because she TOTALLY does not feel the same way. I have a feeling Rafael's Alpha Wolf instincts are going to kick in high gear if he really wants her. He might try to take Landon out of the picture.

But I'm really loving Kaleb's development on the show. He is becoming pretty cool. Lizzy is rubbing off on me as well these last two episodes.

For the same reason dark-skinned James and Florida somehow produced light-skinned Thelma and Michael. J.J. was the only kid on Good Times who looked like he was legit James and Florida's offspring

The first couple of eps were way too broad, but now they've definitely settled into a rhythm and its actually very good. Nick and Clem really work as a couple. I'm rooting for this show now.

The ratings have been steady at 5.981 and the reviews have gotten better as the season went on.

That sounds like the amount of viewers. What is the actual ratings & share?

 

[SilverSmith]

The Feb 15th ratings and share for Fam were 0.814 and 5.47, respectively, tying its one-time season low. This past Thursday's rating saw a 11% improvement, according to Nielsen: 0.9 share /5.68M ratings.

Sorry I meant that they're averaging 5.981 million viewers an episode so far.

Thanks for the break down @SilverSmith

 

[SilverSmith]

No problem.
I gain some new useful knowledge from you all constantly.

I had to look up the ratings on tvbythenumbers.com because those ratings look cancel-worthy for a CBS show. I stopped keeping up with TV ratings a few years ago or so & browsing tvbythenumbers right now, looks like CBS ratings have fallen off enough if "Fam" stays steady that's enough to definitely get renewed.

@SilverSmith screwed up the numbers. It's actually 0.9 rating/4 share & 5.68 million viewers. But those are just preliminary numbers, the final numbers for this past Thursday haven't come out yet.

Yes they have.

https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/fam-season-one-ratings/

I recommend going to tvseriesfinale.com They be up on everything.

And yeah that should save the show from being cancelled, but I think it would've been enough anyway. You have to throw in the social media engagement as well. It does trend on twitter sometimes. Last Thursday it was 6th in the US.

Looks like you might be right. tvbythenumbers.com looks they might've fallen off since when I used to keep up with TV ratings. They haven't even updated their weekly cancel/renewal predictions index for each broadcast network since early February.

On the other hand, this other site you introduced me to has, tvseriesfinale.com, has pages to compare the ratings for each network & pages to compare the ratings for each show. Here's the 1 for CBS: https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/cbs-2018-19-season-ratings/

"Fam" is likely to be renewed based on the 1st chart in that link. A big thing I noticed from the 2nd chart on that link is that based on the lack of total viewership numbers for "Fam", the audience for the show skews young. CBS has always dominated in total viewership numbers because old people (People older than the the 18-49 prime demographic) flock to CBS over the other broadcast networks. So the fact that "Fam" has disappointing total viewership numbers, but still pulls in solid ratings that will likely get the show renewed, tells me younger people watch "Fam". I'd love to see what the 18-34 demo numbers look like for "Fam".

For folks who haven't watched the last few seasons of "New Girl", I found a 20-minute montage of clips highlighting Winston & Aly's relationship:

If ratings stay steady or improve slightly it'll get renewed but they may change time slots, with people watching on CBS all access ratings are a bit off nowadays, plus Fam is produced by CBS Studios meaning it's cheap to make and so they don't have to worry about housing another studio's show.

Just saw casting news for a new Netflix sitcom with potential IR starring Idris & an actress I always had thing for:





https://tvline.com/2018/06/27/piper-perabo-cast-idris-elba-netflix-comedy-turn-up-charlie/

She plays his best friend. IMO The only chance I see that happening is probably if it receives a season 2 or 3 and their friendship grows. But Idris is not shy from IR so they could possibly put him in one on the show. This sounds good though and with Luther coming back, hopefully this will get Idris Elba right back in the game. Even though The Mountain Between Us was a semi hit it did what was expected at the Box Office last year, but he took a beating with the movie The Dark Tower's poor performance and by critics.

Yeah, that's why I said "potential IR". This is a Netflix show. Seeing as how this sitcom is produced by & is co-starring an A-list actor like Idris Elba, it's a safe bet that show will probably get multiple seasons.

@darkcurry You do realize that Netflix shows have less pressure & live by different rules than shows that air on Network or cable TV, right? Netflix is throwing money around for any & everything when it comes to original content. So you don't need to worry about this show getting cancelled after 1 season.

Trailer for Netflix's "Turn Up Charlie" starring & co-EPed by Idris Elba finally dropped today:

Published on Feb 28, 2019

Starring Idris Elba. Turn Up Charlie follows a down-and-out DJ who plots to rebuild his music career whilst working as a nanny for his famous best friend's wild 11 year old daughter in this Netflix Original Comedy Series.

Watch Turn Up Charlie on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/8012472...

Still looks like potential IR down the line like we discussed in these previous posts.
