I've heard so much shit about Braga ever since the days of ST:TNG that I wonder how he can still work in this business and with such promising properties.

There is a saying. Braga is Braga. Hes a bit of a troll who tapped good ass and drove great cars because he could get geeks to swoon. Soon as JJ came up though (Enteriprise didnt help Braga's cause any) he begging to all of Hollywood to pay his car bills.

CBS was crap from the mid 80s until Survivor, CSI et al. hit.
ABC was in decline after Home Improvement and the TGIF era ended until Lost, Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy (Millionaire didn't really do much).
But while CBS was able to brand off of those shows, it was harder for ABC to do the same with its hits and is now trying to build its sitcom brand again.
We'll see if NBC can do this.

Woah cory, CBS was FAR from crap in the 80's. That was there fucking best decade creative wise. They fucking suck NOW Prime Time wise. You can make the case after they lost NFL rights in 93 that they lost a lot of good will. It took them 5 years just to recover after they got back NFL games and another 3 to be stable.

Update: in time zone adjusted fast nationals, Terra Nova was adjusted up a tenth to a 3.1 adults 18-49 rating, retaining 100% of last week's two-hour premiere rating.

The Playboy Club was canceled, replaced by Brian Williams newsmagazine.

No surprise here - the show went down again while its lead-in went up.

Fuck yeah for Up All Night. Good shit.

And that's super preemptive for Whitney. How about we see what week 3 does, first?

Also, Terra Nova rocked the international numbers. Since it's produced by 20th, it's a lucrative show for Fox to hold on to, at least for now.

I don't think so. They simply don't have enough stuff to fill slots. They can't cancel everything and they know Free Agents will be axed as soon as they have something to slot in. Might as well order a full season of Whitney.

Maybe. I would have waited to get at least another data point, though. Wonder what will go after Up All Night? Bent? BFFs?

And this is good news for Prime Suspect, too. With nothing else to replace it besides reruns of SVU (maybe), it'll probably get a few more episodes. Maybe even the full 13.

EDIT: Also, NBC will be showing repeats of Prime Suspect on Mondays at 10 until Oct 31 when Rock Solid premieres.

How's that for confidence in a show?

Good news for The CW, too: Hart of Dixie wasn't just steady in the 18-49, it was also up double digits in the W18-34. That's encouraging.

I was just talking ratings, and I meant to use meh; they were in decline by the late 80s, then the NFL rights thing kept them down until the early 00s.

I like Harry's Law. I hope it continues past this season. But I really liked Boston Legal so maybe it just reminds me of that so far.

Oh and Whitney is fucking shit.

I don't like Harry's Law seemed to drop like half it's cast between seasons.

Playboy was sooo bad. Did anyone here watch it? Wife and I made it about 10 minutes into episode 2 and had to shut it off.

So, Playboy bunny accidentally kills a mob boss in the Club, manages to dump his body in the river, but decides the best thing to do with her bloodied bunny costume is to bring it back to the Playboy mansion and hide it halfway under her bed?

That's when my wife and I turned to each other and said "Shut this off right now."

I called The Playboy Club being axed in 5 weeks, I was close. Can't wait for Hef to bitch about this on Twitter and complain about how the current issue of the mag is promoting a show no longer on the air.

I, however, won't be looking forward to Melissa McEwan and like-minded feminists throwing in their two cents on this...

Free Agents is ok so far. I hope it has time to hit its stride. I want it to live, if only to raise awareness of Al Madrigal and Natasha Leggero. They deserve to be on a better show, certainly, but they need their time as fourth and fifth banana on an ok show to make that happen.

Also, Playboy Club is canceled? Who saw that coming? It's not like it was on a network where they weren't allowed to use the only appeal Playboy has (tits) to anyone. The only place this show would have had even a microscopic chance would be HBO or Showtime.

It's really shocking. That's something that should strike the internal logic cord of 90% of screenwriters.

Nooo. >:[

Btw, what was up with that Greenblatt thing from last week? About giving TPC and Free Agents another chance? I'm assumed that that meant they would stay on air for 13 episodes, but I guess it meant he was giving each show another week. After all, TPC was cancelled today. So can we assume that after tomorrow's episode of Free Agents, it will be immediately cancelled? I don't see any other outcome.

But why did he bother giving either show another chance? Surely he didn't expect the ratings to improve? I guess it was a gesture of goodwill to the creators?

Gesture of goodwill, and to show creative that he wasn't going to pull shows 2 episodes in.

The fact that The Sing-Off went up and The Playboy Club went down is a really bad sign.

There probably was an ultimatum in terms of having to, at the very least, be steady.

Considering a 1.0 is such a low bar, who knows what the ratings will do this week/how many people forget to turn off the TV after Up All Night.

Playboy Club on NBC was a mistake. Should've been on HBO or any other channel that can show boobs.

Doesn't Amber Heard have a no-nudity clause at all times? Even if it was on HBO, she wouldn't give up the goods.

Really? Thats odd considering how much she was nude in The Informers for almost the whole movie.

The Playboy Club was an odd, illogical choice for network television. The show was also poorly written. The word "Playboy" conjures up all sorts of images and ideas, yet none of those can be capitalized on NBC for very obvious reasons. Why on Earth would a network commit to a show entitled The Playboy Club when they knew from the start that it was going to be neutered? Oh, that's right...NBC. Totally slipped my mind.

I refuse to allow Free Agents to leave before Up All Night. It's a shame GAF has to be on the wrong comedy train most of the time. FA > UAN. Outsourced > P&R. :D

I'm not even starting any dramas until I know they are going to stick around for a while. Not getting my heart broken this year, NBC/Fox.

So its like Boston legal in that I get to like one of the new characters and then they're gone like 7 episodes later? Yeah... also Boston was much more self contained. All I've seen of harrys are multiple episode arcs. I wonder how that effects viewership? Encourages retention among early adopters but discourages late comers?
