TheBilcourt: Fall Shows Update

Fall Shows Update

Here are some articles from Dark Horizons about how some of the new Fall shows are doing. Yes, I know I have posted quite a bit about fall tv shows. I will try and ease back a little. I figure though that there is so much on and we all enjoy it, so why not talk about it. You really should see my DVR schedule. I think I have at least three shows recording every weekday night. God bless you, DVR inventor! On with the articles....

Production on NBC's action show Kidnapped will cease once the show's 13th episode has been filmed, making it the first show of the new season to get the axe.

Despite generally good reviews the series has struggled in the ratings. The good news is show creator Jason Smilovic will wrap up the main storyline of the serial drama so there won't be any threads left hanging.

I haven't seen Kidnapped but from what I have read a lot of people really like the show and say it's one of the best new shows.

Meanwhile NBC's new superhero drama Heroes has been given a full-season pickup from the network after its strong debut and a second week which saw ratings hold steady.

The show, along with NBC's other new efforts Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Friday Night Lights, all received critical laudits but "Heroes" is the only one so far that has hit it big in the ratings.

"Heroes" is also one of the few shows that is receiving far more acclaim for its post-pilot episodes, whereas others like "Studio 60" are already being derided for a drop in quality.

ABC's Lost third season premiere averaged 18.5 million total viewers, down 25 percent from its season two premiere, but equal to its season two finale.

The same network's much hyped but lackluster new drama The Nine slipped over 30 percent from its "Lost" season premiere lead-in to deliver 11.96 million viewers - not bad but far from great figures. More notably the show lost viewers over the course of its hour.

On Tuesday Veronica Mars season-three premiere on The CW matched its best-ever ratings in the demographic and was its fourth most watched episode ever (3.3 million viewers).

I love Veronica Mars. It's not hard to start watching so if you can, give it a try!

NBC's critically acclaimed drama "Friday Night Lights" premiered to weak ratings on Tuesday with 7.2 million total viewers and a third position timeslot.

None of Fox's new shows are doing very well so after baseball playoffs, the network is switching much of it around.

Spike TV has confirmed that its series version of "Blade" will not be renewed for a second season due to a drastic fall-off in ratings (2.5 million for the premiere vs. 0.9 million for the finale).

Sci Fi Channel is reportedly close to renewing the Summer series Eureka about a quirky Pacific Northwest town populated by geniuses. The show has averaged 2.76 million viewers a week.
