Members JERSoapsFan Posted April 17, 2006 Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 I can't believe no one on the Soap Opera Network has said anything about "What About Brian," the hot new ABC primetime soap that previewed after "Desperate Housewives" and officially premieres tonight? I liked it! It was fresh and sexy. I couldn't believe I liked that "Saved by the Bell" girl as much as I did but Brian and Marjorie are definitely rootable. Great show!!!

Members dipsetla Posted April 17, 2006 Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 I liked it but I'm scared for it already. Monday nights on ABC is almost a death sentence and I really don't want to invest in another show on to have it quickly cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tina m Posted April 17, 2006 Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yes, what a great show. I'm sad that it wont get a chance to do well. I loved Brian, I think Barry Watson is doing a great job in this show. Brian and Marjori! I love them. I give the show an A. Can't wait for a new episode tonight. and "car girl"/Karen looked so familar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dipsetla Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 tina m, "car girl/Karen" was Amy Jo Johnson who was a Power Ranger and recently on "Wildfire". If "What About Brian?" fails I say Barry Watson to "Grey's Anatomy". Anyone agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrishntr Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 I was looking so forward to this new show, and I gotta say I was a little bit disappointed. I'm not giving up yet, so we'll see what tonight brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RogerNewcomb Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 I watched 15 minutes at tuned out. Seemed like a weaker version of Love Monkey to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JERSoapsFan Posted April 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 Oh, I SO remember her now from "Power Rangers." Thanks for the tip, dipsetla! As for the last line...a big "NO" to that--because "What About Brian" will NOT fail. I won't allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JERSoapsFan Posted April 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 You're forgiven. Now let's hope we see some promising Nielsens! (Now watch someone gleefully post a Zap2it ratings article touching on how poorly it performed. BITE MY TONGUE~!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KBT Posted April 18, 2006 Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 From Zap2it.com: ABC, 'Brian' Lead Easter Parade New show gets decent ratings on quiet Sunday April 17 2006 Barry Watson of 'What About Brian'Fast National ratings for Sunday, April 16, 2006 Easter Sunday was a relatively quiet one on the ratings front, with ABC winning the night and new series "What About Brian" getting off to a solid but hardly overwhelming start. ABC averaged a 7.8 rating/14 share for the night to score a comfortable win over NBC, 6.3/11. CBS finished third with a 5.9/10. FOX, 3.0/5, was fourth, and The WB trailed with a 1.4/2. Among adults 18-49, ABC's 5.1 rating was tops, almost doubling the 2.7 for second-place NBC. FOX, 2.4, grabbed third in the demographic coveted by advertisers, beating out CBS' 2.1. The WB averaged 0.9. CBS started the night on top, getting a 6.4/13 from "60 Minutes" at 7 p.m. "Dateline," 4.2/9, put NBC in second in households, but ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos," 4.0/8, had more total viewers. FOX averaged 1.9/3 with "Malcolm in the Middle" and "King of the Hill," good enough to beat an hour of "Reba" on The WB. "Cold Case," 8.5/15, held the lead for CBS at 8 p.m. ABC improved to 6.6/12 with "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." NBC came in third with "The West Wing," while FOX took fourth with a "Simpsons" rerun, 3.4/6, and "The War at Home," 3.3/6. "Charmed" scored a 1.9/3 for The WB. "Desperate Housewives" moved ABC into first place at 9 p.m. with a 12.1/19, the night's best rating. NBC moved up to second with "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," 7.6/12. Part two of the CBS miniseries "Covert One: The Hades Factor" posted a 4.7/7. A "Family Guy" rerun, 3.9/6, and a second "War at Home," 3.4/5, kept FOX in fourth. The WB went with a "Pepper Dennis" rerun. The debut of "What About Brian" averaged 8.4/14 for ABC at 10 p.m., just beating NBC's "Crossing Jordan," 8.3/14. CBS' movie finished with a 4.2/7.

Members JERSoapsFan Posted April 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2006 LOL Kirk. But it's like I said, the ratings normally increase after "DH" to "Grey's." Here, they dropped. That's not a good sign. But I'm glad it did okay and not beyond hope. There's definitely hope with those numbers -- now watch someone post the true tell-tale sign, the zap2it.com ratings release on Monday's regular eppy!!
