Members Gray Bunny Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) I checked TVBytheNumbers.com and although The New Normal had only 3.1 million viewers, the competing sitcom on ABC had only 2.8 million... Geez, is this how low network television has sunken in viewership? Wow... (I could understand if it were reruns, but not *new* shows) Edited January 30, 2013 by Gray Bunny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Since The Voice went off New Normal has sunk down to 1.1 in the demo and I think less than 4 million in the total viewers. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/01/30/tv-ratings-tuesday-the-new-normal-go-on-hit-lows-the-taste-drops-vegas-new-girl-rise/167318/ I think part of it is based on how niche everything is now. I guess even if NN fails Nene might be able to go back to Glee, which will probably have another season. I think Sue is just about done anyway, people stopped caring about her in season 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Both shows are too niche, if either ABC or NBC took a page out of CBS's playbook.. it could have high viewership. CBS may skew older, but most of their sitcoms/dramas are more broad-based.. and not so niche driven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Wow at those numbers the last time I looked at them was when The Voice was on I could see Ryan Murphy letting her go back to Glee but honestly their next season should be its last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I know I have gotten into TBBT through syndication and see they broke 20 million for the first time this year, NBC should ditch the one camera sitcoms and go back to shows they used to have. Love Nene, but TNN isn't all that.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I dont think a sitcom being single camera or multi-camera filming is what makes it good or bad. For instance, The Middle and Modern Family are single camera shows and have fairly healthy viewership. They are well-written, funny, and not so niche. Plus, TNN is very skewed for liberals and seem to portray the right wing conservatives as these angry psychos. I have several relatives that are very conservative and they do not act like that whatsoever. Off topic, I think it is time for Adrienne, Taylor, and Kim to go bye bye when season 4 comes... and Faye should be banned from being filmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I agree that they should return to the 3 camera format of sitcoms... although to be honest, I haven't watched a CBS sitcom since... The Nanny? But still, I prefer that format: 3 (or 5) cameras, canned laughter, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 What do you guys mean by the one camera vs multi camera format? What's the difference and how does it make a show better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 I meant the ones on NBC I really have never got the appeal of Community or 30 Rock. Anywho agreed on the BH casting choices. I've hated Taylor since I saw Season 1 honestly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 Three camera is traditional sitcoms that usually have studio audiences/laugh tracks. One camera are shows like Modern Family. I don't think one is necessarily better than the other I just don't like what NBC has been offering up the past 5-7 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 I agree, I like that the episodes build and it isn't a constantly negative, ugly show like NJ or even ATL to an extent, which is why I had to give up on those franchises. I really hate Adrienne too. She is the most humourless shrew to ever grace a RH franchise. And I've seen Jody Claman on RHoV... I love Yolanda. She is a sensible European woman, love her common sense and how dismissive she is of anyone and anything she deems beneath her. You've said it, BH has glamour and this glamour provides us with delicious beats to enjoy that the other franchises simply couldn't hope to provide. In Vanderpump Rules Lisa states that SUR is owned by herself, Ken and other partners, including Guillermo and his wife who are seen regularly in the show. Lisa explained that after decades running their London restaurants and clubs from the ground up, many late hours and missed weekends, taking on partners allowed them to be more "hands off" with the day to day aspects while focusing on the concept of the restaurant. The restaurant business is an amazingly awful one, most restaurants don't last a year. That Ken and Lisa launched over 25 bars, restaurants and clubs in London, arguably the most competitive market in the world, successfully, selling a group of them to the Trocadero Group in 2002 for over ten million pounds sterling, says a lot about their abilities. At the same time, taking on partners just protects them from over-investing into the business and from liabilities if they flounder. It's standard practice, why Camille would attempt to make it seem deceptive is beyond me, it's obvious she's desperate to return full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members darraholic Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 http://www.slice.ca/shows/realhousewivesvancouver/default.aspx?Title_ID=273301 Real Housewives of Vancouver returns on Tuesday! Three New Housewives replace Christina & Reiko. Amanda Cast, The Real Housewives of Vancouver Amanda is a woman with a lot of baggage – and not just the Louis Vuitton variety! Joining the cast for Season Two, Amanda is best described as a bad girl gone good. A recovering alcoholic, Amanda has given up her partying ways and found strength in a life of sobriety and healthy living. Although Amanda has traded in her wild lifestyle, she’s far from being tame. A self-confessed sex addict with a short temper, she enjoys a passionate and fiery relationship with her gorgeous long-distance boyfriend, Kyle, who lives south of the border in Seattle, WA. Recently divorced from a man who took care of everything, Amanda doesn’t have to work to maintain her luxurious lifestyle, and her main focus lies on raising her three children, ages 10, seven and five, on Vancouver’s North Shore. She believes that honesty is always the best policy. As a result, Amanda is quick to call people out on their lies and bad behavior – a trait which earns her a lot of respect…and enemies! Be sure to set your alerts and reminders because you don't want to miss this! Ioulia Cast, The Real Housewives of Vancouver Joining the cast for Season Two, Ioulia (pronounced Yoo-lee-ah) is a Russian-born beauty who immigrated to Canada over 11 years ago with her family. Married to a wealthy venture capitalist almost 20 years her senior, Ioulia has a fierce desire to build a career and be independent but currently relies on her husband for financial support as she tries to find her feet. Having studied at Sotheby’s in London, Ioulia hopes to make her mark as a broker in the high stakes art world. While Ioulia’s marriage may garner cynicism from the other wives, she and her husband of five years are deeply in love. They share a passion for art, fashion and luxury cars. Ioulia also prides herself on being the cool stepmother of his four children. Ioulia and her husband live in the prestigious Coal Harbour. With an exotic accent, a fiery Russian temper and a unique sense of humour that doesn't always translate, Ioulia frequently elicits a raised eyebrow or headshake from the other wives, who can't quite figure out if their new comrade is a friend or a foe! Robin Cast, The Real Housewives of Vancouver They say everything’s bigger in Texas and Robin’s outgoing personality is certainly proof of that. Robin moved to Vancouver from the Lone Star State 19 years ago and brought with her a deep southern twang and a passion for riding horses. A mother of two young girls, Robin lives a country chic lifestyle complete with two nannies, a Point Grey home and a Prada saddle for her European Warmblood horse, Giggy – all thanks to a healthy settlement from her recent divorce – yeehaw! Joining the cast for Season Two, Robin feels that Vancouver women need to loosen up and start breaking the rules. Although her southern roots are founded on strong Christian values, Robin’s appetite for gossip and penchant for partying often put her at odds with her belief system, and the other wives. But adversity is no sweat for this southern belle. With eight years of experience working in Dallas-area prisons, Robin is a tough-as-nails straight shooter with a heart as big as Texas and a mouth to match! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Adrienne confirms to Life and Style Magazine that she used a surrogate for her 6 year old twins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well, i hope they didnt pay much for that after Brandi, Lisa, Kim and likely others confirmed it. Thats the thing I really cant stand about her. Shes going around saying Brandi is lying and damaging her character and stuff when its true.
