Members Daphne Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 Curios about 2 things: 1) Do you think Desperate Housewives could and will top Grey's Anatomy in overall ratings? 2) Will NBC's Sunday Night Football cause problems for Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters?

Members bellcurve Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 Unfortunately not. I just have a feeling its over for HOUSEWIVES. I've not seen a single spoiler that indicates it will return to its former glory. Add SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL as competition and you're pretty much asking for trouble. I'm giving it the season opener to prove itself and that's it. I can't afford to waste another season watching it. And that's a shame, because I HATE GREY'S!

Members Sylph Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 I hate Grey's, too! And so does Neal Baer! As for Desperate, I hear Jeff Greenstein has joined the staff. Yuhoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 Question 1: Not this week but I would hardly say its over. Early reviews are that DH is going back to what made it successful in the opening season. More interraction between the main cast and above all funny. All the promos/spoilers I've read sound IMO amazing. Marc Cherry knows last season was a failure. I am confident he will return this show to its former glory. I don't think Football will pose as big of a threat as some would think. We will see. Erarly buzz is good, promos have been airing like crazy. I am predicting DH will attract somewhere between 20-23 million viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 I think DH has hit its peak in the ratings during its first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drew Posted September 24, 2006 Members Share Posted September 24, 2006 Bah! I'm boycotting that crap. New York mobsters, pfft! women always seem to control the remote, so I dont think this will effect anything. per spellcheck.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sean Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 DH at its lowest last season still had a rating in the range of 14.5; I wouldn't be surprised if they can muster a rating higher than GA's 15.7 for the premiere unless for some reason football ends up affecting it a ton. So far there's been a lot of positive buzz around season 3 so I'm looking forward to it (and I have to admit I enjoyed season 2, though it plays out better on DVD without the month-long breaks).

Members EricaKane70 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 I knew there was a reason I stopped watching, I can't stand luka and abby. There one of the reasons I stopped watching ER in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Well that is your opinion but many actually are back into the show because of them. It is obvious by the ratings for the finale and the premiere (which featured major focus on Luka and Abby) that they are working and are helping the show big time. Oh well-to each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 But can you really say they helped the ratings when ER on top of its game had almost 30 million viewers now its half of that???? Thats an awful big decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 Right but Luka/Abby started after the decrease. The decrease was due to all the Africa stuff and focus shifting outside of the ER. Midway through last season, the focus went back to the ER (with a one or two Dalfur episodes thrown in with Carter) and then Luka/Abby began to slowly come back together and the show just steadily improved. The finale was amazing and the premiere showed it wasn't a fluke. My point is ER saw an increase in numbers which can be attributed to no competition from Without a Trace and from the show having a bit of a creative renissance. The show has it's heart and soul back in the Luka/Abby pairing and ER needs a signature couple as an emotional center. Maybe Luka/Abby is not why the ratings increased a bit but they have created lots of positive buzz and, after awhile, that can translate into increases. I would encourage anyone who previously watched it or who is searching for something to fill their 10:00 hour to tune it. I have read a few story plans and this year sounds amazing and it has already been amazing. Now if you don't like Luka/Abby or some of the other characters/actors, then I would suggest not tuning in but, other then that, give it a whirl. It really is in a resurgence IMO and I was one who was ready to quit watching early last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted September 25, 2006 Members Share Posted September 25, 2006 You can't blame the ratings decrease on Africa alone. I think the last episode I watched was when carter went to paris(???) and got back with his girlfriend, I really liked them as a couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
