I'm equally sure that W/Q will be along any minute now to offer his
"better" schedule. I have no idea why he bothers spending the time since
no one sees it but the handful of people on this newsgroup and none of
us has any influence on the schedule.

Perhaps it's getting a make-over as Chicago Wesen.

[Obveeus]

That actually might have worked a season or two ago with a Trubel
spinoff, but now even the Chicago name won't save the show.

All seasons except the second have started in late October. NBC
announced in April that Grimm would return for a sixth season.

That the HG Wells one. Of course I don't actually know what they'll be
doing with it so I may bail when I find out.

I'm guessing that it will be the midseason replacement for the regular

[Obveeus]

Yes, I know it will return eventually, but until it does NBC doesn't
appear to have anything worth tuning in for.

Yeah I don't know why. Except that since it's a pretty old movie they
didn't figure making the connection explicit would attract any more
viewers and thought that "Timeless" would emphasize the paranormal
romance element.

[Obveeus]

Too many. I blame 12 MONKEYS for convincing the network execs that if
they put on a good time travel show, dozens of people will watch it.
Dozens of potential viewers is apparently the new bar for ordering a
pilot to series.

Different shows. TIME AFTER TIME is going to be on ABC.

I'll probably sample "Timeless".

Technically doesn't have a time machine.

[Dimensional Traveler]

First you have to prove they aren't all just the same show looping back
thru time.

[Obveeus]

In what way is that relevant to whether or not the show has time travel?
Calling the conveyance a 'magical stone garden' (or whatever) instead
of a time machine makes no relevant difference.

Yes, they've almost always gone out of their way to ensure that a new
season starts when the World Series has a game on another channel.

And until it comes back, there's nothing on NBC that interests me.

Yeah, so I'm done with CBASS and NBC. Yikes.

Of the old three, the only network that has been just about totally dead
to me for many years is ABC. I have sampled a few of their shows, such
as the Shondaland offerings, but I never stick with them past two or
three episodes. I guess I'm just not of the demo, even though I enjoy a
few of CW's programs. I don't watch much on CBS or NBC, but nothing at
all on ABC.

[anim8rfsk]

In article <1moy8ap.1grat5fp5aavqN%nmas...@yahoo.com>,

If I'd had to have predicted which network I'd give up first, it
probably would have been ABC (although Bonnie Hammer is so entrenched in
the NBC related other networks I've given up that the peacock would be a
strong contender).

ABC's big draw for me is S.H.I.E.L.D.
They *had* Galavant :(
They screwed up Castle so completely that I'm glad it died.
So unless something new comes along, I'm down to one show there.

The CW has
Da Flash
Penn & Teller Fool Us with a skanky and kinda gay hostess
Legends of Tomorrow (which is on the bubble for me)
and, sigh
STUPIDGIRL

[Obveeus]

SUPERGIRL...now with added werewolf.

This is just another reminder that, as someone who watches everything on
a delayed basis, I really have to stop and think about what is on what
network. It's simply not relevant to me anymore and it's extremely rare
for something to stand out in any sort of an "Oh, yeah, X is a great
show and I appreciate the fact that Y airs it" way. So whenever a
network talks about its "brand," I just have to laugh.

Are you collecting data *now*? On that subject, a thought occurred to me
recently. Scary, I know, but hear me out. Why not do this during sweeps
months when shows are going out of their way to attract eyeballs? It
would show us how well they're doing among the RAT contingency and it
would make it easy for you to set the start and stop dates for us to use

I always had the impression that they aired their best regular stuff
then, too. But I can't claim to pay close attention beyond knowing that
they all play games to try to artificially pump up their viewership numbers.

[suzeeq]

Maybe one week out of the four. But not every show, every week.

[Obveeus]

There are certainly artificial boost atempts to the ratings (like
crossover episodes), but the network also frequently allow regular
episodes or even an episode rerun to air so that they have an 'accurate'
measurement they can sell to the buyers.

[Dimensional Traveler]

No, I'm not collecting data right now. I just want to remind people to
remember for when I do collect the data in 2-1/2 months.

And the intent is to collect data every three months for the preceding
three months. So if everyone keeps wanting to do it we will cover
sweeps as part of the year cycle.
