Members DRW50 Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 It's sad to see a show go, but they're still more fortunate than a lot of shows. Numb3rs over at CBS, which has not had as many chances to prove itself, got its episode order cut by about 5-6 shows, but I haven't heard about Auseillo hand-wringing over them.

Members Sylph Posted January 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I think it was time for Betty to go. Hopefully something better will replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 Sad news. I'm still a bit behind, not having watched either season 3 or 4, but the first two were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I watched during the first season and I think half the second season and it just stopped being interesting for me. I think CBS have Numb3rs as many chances as ABC gave Ugly Betty. Ugly Betty started in 2006 and Numb3rs started in 2005. I don't think it was ever a ratings winner but CBS still stayed with it.

Members Sylph Posted January 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 +1 Same thing happened to me. Numb3s is just so... Awful. Unbelievable and too expository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Numb3rs has generally been a strong performer in the ratings, until this season. I won't miss the show, it had its run, but I just think it's an odd contrast to UB, which had so many different timeslot changes and publicity bursts to try to help, and yet he's so shocked and upset at cancellation and 2 episodes being cut.

Members bellcurve Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 I just hope Betty's gay nephew finds love and happiness. I only catch it every once in awhile and he is probably my favorite character. Everyone else can eat sh*t and die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 I've been enjoying it a lot this season, more than expected. On the positive, I think it's better for the show to go during a well done season than to just run on, and I'm not really sure how many more seasons the show could have lasted, creatively (I wish they'd announce an end date for Desp Housewives, for instances, that's the only thing I think that could give it a creative kick in the pants).

Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 Well it's a fave of his--you can call it biased reporting, but Ausiello isn't Nelson Branco--he admits where his loyalties lie and that he runs a gossip blog, nothing more. And frankly UB was much better than Numb3rs which has a decent cast and nothing else going for it (you'd think betwen tem the Scott brothers would come up with something at least more interesting...) Also, I'd argue not one of the time slot changes was done to benefit UB--it was more that ABC had a time slot to fill, thought UB had a decent fanbase and ratings so could work in those unfillable time slots--besides moving it to Wednesdays this month of course. (Is it getting better ratings than Eastwick did?) That said I stand by what I said above, I think maybe 4 seasons is as far as this show should go,and I'm glad that the current season has been a lot more fun to watch than the last couple. HAHA that made me laugh out loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 As soon as Boston Legal was canceled, Betty took its place as the "OMG that show's still on?" show on ABC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
