From that article, it doesn't look like "Outsourced" is going anywhere...except forward...which is odd. I thought it was bombing.

Misunderstood...I thought you meant "go" as in leaving, not "go" as in go forward.

That and the office are the only NBC shows that are entertaining.

I've never understood why "The Office" is so wildly popular...Much as with Seinfeld, I just don't get the humor or the attraction to the show.
Different strokes for different folks...wait...that show sucked too...

Agreed: Seinfeld was stupid.

I can't believe this Outsourced crap is going to be around all season. Diedrich Bader is painfully unfunny. Plus, the only thing I can hear when he talks is "I'll tell you what I'd do, man... two chicks at the same time, man."

The Event is just pathetically awful. What a joke.

Is P&R still coming back in January?

WALL OF TEXT

What, where did you c/p that from? I'm confused.

I love this Fringe arc, but it does need to start moving soon. Last weeks episode was a great start to that.

WOW

CBS Gives Full-Season Orders To All 5 Freshman Series: 'Hawaii Five-0', 'Blue Bloods', 'Defenders', 'Mike & Molly' & '$#*!'

CBS is not monkeying around, handing out today full-season to all of its freshman series: dramas Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods, dramedy The Defenders and comedies Mike & Molly and $#*! My Dad Says. No big surprise here given the fact that those happen to be the five most-watched new series of the season and 3 of them, Hawaii, Mike & Molly and $#*! also rank as the top three new series in adults 18-49. The solid showing by the five freshmen helped CBS win the opening 4 weeks of the season for the first time. "Everything has clicked so far this year—from development in January, to scheduling in May, to production over the summer, to marketing and publicity in the fall," CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said. Hawaii is averaging 14.2 million viewers and a 4.1/11 in 18-49 and also ranks as the most DVR'd TV program, adding some 3.4 million viewers with live plus 7-day playback. Blue Bloods (12.7 million, 2.2/07) dominates its Friday 10 PM time period. The season-to-date averages for the other newly-renewed series are: Defenders (11.3 million, 2.8/8), Mike & Molly (12.3 million, 4.1/11) and $#*!(11.3, 3.5/10). CBS is the only network to keep all of its freshman series for the whole season this fall. NBC, ABC and Fox have already cancelled one series each: Outlaw, My Generation and Lone Star, respectively. NBC has picked up the rest, giving The Event, Chase, Law & Order: Los Angeles andOutsourced back-nine order and Undercovers an order for 4 more scripts. Fox has picked up comedyRaising Hope for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, things look grim for NBC's new crime drama Law & Order: Los Angeles (1.9/6), which was down 21% from last week, following last week's 25% drop from the series' premiere. LOLA has not been helped by the fact that its lead-in, veteran Law & Order: SVU (2.2/6), has also been dropping fast, down another 15% last night.

"$#*! My Dad Says" is pretty lame. As much as I LIKE Shatner...this show seems like it just tries to hard to be funny...but really isn't.

Blasphemy... Seinfeld was brilliant.

No, it was lame as fuck...but for some reason, was extremely popular.

Tell me...did you also like "Friends?"

"Let's raise a glass (of something bubbly perhaps) to TV shows gone too soon: Here's to "Arrested Development," "Pushing Daisies," "Moonlight," "Freaks and Geeks," "Veronica Mars," "My So Called Life"... we hardly knew ye. Here we are, just six weeks into the fall season, and we already have two more names to add to that list. (R.I.P., "Lone Star" and "My Generation.") Which shows will be next? These are in the most danger, due to low ratings, poor performances among younger viewers and other typical bad signs. Is your favorite show on the list? — TV Guide"

Why would you even compare the two? completely different shows and different tastes.

 

[Homerboy]

What is scaring me is that Community is consistantly the lowest rated show on Thursday nights. If that show gets cancelled, I have lost faith for all mankind.

Lol, Boomer. In this thread you state that you didn't like Seinfeld (say WUT?), which explains why you state that you didn't and don't like The Office, which further explains why you don't like Modern Family.

You trying to compare the truly lame ass Friends with the brilliant Seinfeld kind of says it all. D:

Tell us, oh Master of Heavy Machinery and Certified Sexy Man, what TV comedies, if any, do you like?

nobody's cancelling shit.

Just like its sister network CBS did yesterday, the CW today handed out full-season orders to all of its freshman series. In its case, it's 2: Hellcats and Nikita. Also getting a full-season order is CW veteran One Tree Hill, which has been a solid ratings performer in its current eighth season. No decision yet on the fourth CW series originally picked up with a 13-episode order, sophomore Life Unexpected. After a promising uptick a couple of weeks ago, it has slipped again in the ratings and continues to rank as CW's lowest-rated series. There is a glimmer of hope -- the critically-praised drama recently received an order for 2 additional scripts, but its chances are slim. The network recently greenlighted dramedy pilot Danni Lowinski as a potential midseason replacement. The back-nine episodic orders for Hellcats and OTH follow the pickup of 6 additional scripts for both series a month ago. "By giving our two freshman series and proven performer One Tree Hill full orders, we’ll be able to continue our success and momentum throughout the rest of the season," CW entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said. Cheerleading drama Hellcats, starring Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale, has posted the best retention of any show to follow America’s Next Top Model and has dramatically improved the Wednesday 9 PM period. It is averaging 2.5 million viewers and a 1.2/4 in adults 18-34. The Maggie Q-starring Nikita (3.6 million) has become the second most-watched show on The CW behind its Thursday lead-in, flagship CW drama The Vampire Diaries.

they should just cancel the CW. Honestly, USA and a bunch of other cable channels consistently beat the CW in ratings/demos. Dawn should have been fired so many years ago for year upon year of failure.

CW is actually doing alot better than many had anticipated. Definitely doing much better than in years' past.
