The problem with AMC (and watching Mad Men)is the constant commercials, and the ridiculous amount of “sniping” (I am told this is the term for the little supers that come in at the bottom of the frame announcing the show you are currently watching (duh!) and advertising for other shows). And these promos seem to be getting physically larger and more intrusive as time goes on.

AMC lost all credibility when they decided to add commercial breaks, show letterboxed films full frame, censor dialogue, and if I am not mistaken, edit scenes. Truly a disgusting way to treat “classics”.

If I want to watch Mad Men, I’ll download them and avoid AMC altogether.

Bring back the days of Bob Dorian and Nick Clooney!

This is even more proff that USA shows NCIS way too much. The show isn’t even good. Its running it into the ground.

Robert: USA Net had 11 of the top 25 rather than 10.

Can we start taking bets on when USA prime time will be the highest rated among all NBC Universal channels? I say spring 2011, assuming NBC keeps going the way it does.

Speaking of TNT, there has been no news regarding Raising the Bar and Dark Blue, I think Dark Blue is a goner and Raising the Bar is 50/50 as it lost around 50% of The Closer lead in every week. I think out of the TNT pilots, Rizolli and Delta Blues sound like potential companions for the Closer and The Spielberg Alien series will probably be a Winter show.

Kyle, nope, no ratings for FNL. At least not for us until they wind up on NBC.

Master Moron: I don’t think Naruto is typically in Travis’ repertoire

Is there a rating for Friday Night Lights since it only aired on DirecTV?

By: Master Moron

Master Moron — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:37:02 +0000

So, if I subscribed to TravisYanan’s twitter would I be able to find out how Naruto: Shippuden did on DisneyXD? I’ve never actually used Twitter before and I’m a little concerned that if I take the plunge it’ll eat up all my time. Hell, I already waste enough time on this site.

I think Psych is fine. It is normally in the top 25 cable shows, and does better than most shows on one of USA’s bigger competitors, TNT.

NeNe is much more exciting than a bunch of whiney rich people from back in the day! NeNe > Betty Draper! Bwahahaha!

Mad Men although critically acclaimed is not easy to get into unless you’ve watched previous seasons whereas Atlanta, you could probably watch an episode without having to know the backstory of the people and still enjoy it. The sad truth is that critically acclaimed shows like Damages, Mad Men etc tend to have more awards than ratings, I think someone made a joke about 30 Rock having more awards than viewers.

Viewers do prefer shows that are easy to watch without having too much commitments, that is why CBS and USA do so well with their shows.

Jon, the real question is WHY do a million more people like watching ignorant nothings over intelligently written drama? It is a very sad relection of American pop culture.

Since Monk is ending, they are probably happy about White Collar. In all likelihood they are going to pair it with Psych on Fridays. The question is: which show will get the earlier time? Psych got better demos but fewer viewers than Monk.

The leads in Monk and Psych are not in the hunky mold whereas White Collar’s advertising emphasizes the dreaminess of the lead actor.

Be interesting to see how White Collar breaks out according to gender.

Is 5.075 the final rating for the White Collar contest? I was really close!

By: Jon

Jon — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:12:47 +0000

KK, I’m guessing that more people like watching NeNe than Don Draper. Real Housewives also beats Project Runway in the demo although that’s not to say Project Runway is doing badly, it’s doing good but Lifetime are paying $30m a year for it.

The success of White Collar is slightly worrying for Psych but the USA shows I think is in danger is Law and Order: Criminal Intent and In Plain Sight which are going through creative changes.

Psych is a comedy and White Collar is more dramatic I don’t really think they appeal to the exact same people. Both are good shows.
