The End of Supernatural

Hiatus is not our friend, neither is Nielsen or some TV Executives who never leave their comfy chairs to venture out into the real world. One morning they get out of the wrong side of bed and "wooooosh" before you knew it another great TV show was culled.

Never before have we so anxiously watched the ratings of a show and never before are we really worried we might not get to see the end of it.

Just after the Xmas break, our favorite show Supernatural is gone on yet another holiday for 3 long weeks. Don't get us wrong. Holidays are great. It's Carnival season in Europe, whayhay... oh stop it! Who cares! Who cares about advertisement stuff other than said comfy-chair-sitters (which we hope get eaten by their chairs) - not viewers. All we want is out TV schedule on time like the trains and as promised! Not 3 weeks later, not never ever. Now! And most of all we want to see the end of it! So Nielsen -who we don't trust right now- better makes sure he keeps his prediction up that Supernatural is save for renewal...

Our Renew / Cancel index predicts potential renewal for *next* season: Cancelled/Not Returning, Not Likely To Be Renewed, or Renewal Likely for 2009-10.

Because if Reaper comes back Supernatural just HAS too! Right? RIGHT???


Anyways, Jared is putting his foot in a bit, as usual, but we forgive him for scaring us :)









we'll thank him in our next post....

Find him and kill him!

Ok, I have a question: who is this ‘Nielsen Ratings’ bloke and how hard would it be to find him and kill him?

Just a few weeks after the loooooooong haitus over Christmas and New Year, it seems our beloved show is not going to be at home for the next three weeks either - after tomorrow's 'Sex And Violence' the next episode (4x15) is apparently being pushed back until 5th March - and it’s all cos of this bloke Nielsen.

You see, he must know that at least half the audience of ‘Supernatural’ do not live in the US - myself and my family included. We do not understand the concept of ‘advertising counts’ and ‘best episodes’ - we come from a world where you write a series, sell it to one side or the other as far as channel controllers go, and then it gets broadcast until it’s completed. Simple.

We do not understand this constant nudging of new episodes back from the original start date. We do not understand why they must wait for some advertising bean-counter to ‘sweep’ and check what’s going on with OUR show. We do not understand why we have no new episodes. But we do understand that that bloke Nielsen is on his last warning. He’s pissed off the Old Faithful before, and he should know we have his number…

So caption THIS:



Oh wait, I’ve got one - “Three weeks off? This ain’t funny, you muddy-funsters.”

Nearly 4 Millions of Crazy Buckets watched "After School Special"

This is not funny, but we think it was them shorts that you guys (and girls!) watched more than ever!

A CW press release reads a bit like the math book we never touched in school, however the gist is that: MOST VIEWERS THIS SEASON SO FAR!

THE CW SCORES STRONG THURSDAY AS “SMALLVILLE” GROWS AND “SUPERNATURAL” HITS SEASON HIGHS

The CW Delivers Best Thursday of Season in Young Women and

Second Best Thursday in Adults 18-49

SUPERNATURAL Scores Season Highs with Women and

Best Since Its Season Premiere in Adults and Viewers

SMALLVILLE Builds Week to Week in Key Demos

January 30, 2009 (Burbank, CA) - Against a special Thursday “American Idol” and an original episode of “CSI,” The CW scored one of its best Thursdays of the season, matching the season’s best Thursday with women 18-34 (1.5/4) and matching the second best among adults 18-49 (1.7/4), according to Live Plus Same Day Nielsen ratings for Thursday, January 29, 2009. The CW registered its largest Thursday audience (3.9mil) since 10/30/08.

Facing an original “CSI,” SUPERNATURAL climbed to season highs in women 18-34 (1.7/4) and women 18-49 (1.7/4), and posted its largest audience (3.6 million), and best adults 18-34 (1.5/4) and adults 18-49 (1.6/4) ratings since its season premiere.

SMALLVILLE built over last week’s original telecast by 7% in adults 18-34 (1.5/4), 40% in women 18-34 (1.4/4), 6% in adults 18-49 (1.7/5) and 8% in total viewers (4.2mil).

Compared to the same night a year ago (1/31/08), The CW’s Thursday improved 7% in adults 18-34 (1.5/4), 21% in adults 18-49 (1.7/5) and 12% in total viewers (3.9mil).

Douchebaggery Ratings Are Like Magic

"Well guys, you know the drill! - I want to see them ratings up next week, so tell your friends to tell their friends and watch all you can, even if you just leave the TV running while you bake some yummy pie for me or explore why there's a strange noise up in the attic."

We have never been into stats and ratings and to be honest, if we can add 2 and 2 and get 5 we are more than chuffed....uhm...

So, we have actually dug our way through the world wide web and found ratings that -though partially meaningless to the brain of a bucket- do give us an idea if Supernatural is actually going up to heaven or down to hell if you guys out there aren't watching it enough.

We updated the post on last weeks episode "Family Remains"with its actual ratings and if we compare them with last nights douchebaggery ratings (no, not how many times they said douchebag on the show, though we think it was about 6 times) we can see a slight INCREASE to last week and Nielsen predicts renewal for 2009/10 for the show. If that turns out to be true we'll get all tingly and we have a feeling you will too.
