Joss Whedon’s series usually start off slow. Think Buffy and Angel and Firefly sorta did as well. This show kinda feels different than the shows he usually makes as well… gonna keep giving it a shot but I could see how it could turn off some people.
I really want to watch this show but it was put on a Friday night, which means even if it’s awesome it’ll be cancelled. Hopefully it gets a full season before it’s canned so I can download it all in one shot.
I think Friday night ratings are low in general because everyone goes out or watches a movie or whatever. Either way, Fox has a long, retarded history of fucking with the time slots of their shows, causing them to drop in ratings, and then they cancel the show because the ratings are bad. When I show is broadcast on Friday nights, 90% the time it ends up canceled because it’s time slot just got moved, or the network executives didn’t think enough of the show to give it a good time slot in the first place.
You remember that episode of Family Guy where Peter went through a list of all the Fox shows that had been canceled during the Family Guy “hiatus?” A lot of Friday shows in that list.
does anyone know how the official streaming sites work in terms of ratings…i doubt ill ever be home to watch this on tv. but i will definetly support by watching the streams on fox.com
