Hope The CW sees the horrible position they've put Life Unexpected in.
#1: They stuck it at 9pm, when a lot of school-age kids have gone to bed (who would like to watch).
#2: They stuck it on Monday night, where the competition is shockingly fierce on every other network.
Yes, it's doing as well (if not better than) Gossip Girl in the timeslot, but it sure seems like there's more potential for this show at an earlier hour, and perhaps on a different night. Tuesdays, for instance, are LOST and nothing else worthwhile. And Wednesday's a pitiful TV night (except for ABC comedies). I'd even give it a try after Smallville on Friday. "Slumber Party with Life Unexpected."
Think outside the box, CW. Don't keep doing the same thing and expecting sudden boom results. Make something happen.
And by something, I don't mean Tinsley and the Flight Attendants.
WOW 4.4 million watch heroes down what 90% from seaon one final!!! way to go CBS love HIMYM AOP AND BBT glad they did good last night! little upsetting for chuck it a great show and season 3 is the best season so far! OTH and LIFE make a good fit but life is dropping too much! still beating some of GG Ratings overall night every one's a winner nbc minus chuck is a loser
WOW Big Bang Theory continues to grow and get funnier. So glad to see this great show doing so well in the ratings. Still feel bad that Heroes isnt doing better. I still like this show and wouldnt mind another season, maybe in a new time slot. At least 24 is still holding up well! I just cant get into the dating reality crap on ABC...who cares..it never lasts!
jason agree with you 100% wed nights suck but before lost and soon to be glee was on tuesday night sucked NCIS NCIS LA are so over rated! i watch a lot of tv and i tried i give every shows 3 episodes and both them i couldn't i mean i can enjoy them but never 2 hrs straight! abc comedy block and glee on fox wed is really or was the only thing worth watching!
It's all a matter of perspective. Based upon NBC's terrible season, Chuck is actually a keeper for them. The show does better than Jay Leno (OK, I just had to), Heroes, with exception of some episdoes of the Office-Thursday night comedies, and NBC Saturday and Sunday.
CW has a chance to remold itself with Life. If it weren't for that show, its Thursday lineup and Smallville, they might as well turn out the lights, or go Spanish language, as Univision is eating their lunch viewership wise.
CBS rocked the house last night. Promos during the Superbowl paid off. They really left ABC in the dust.
I wonder if ABC will ever put on real entertainment rather than a bunch of scripted dating and dancing crapfests.
That network has almost fallen down to NBC-like quality levels
Wayne, you're an idiot.
Couldnt agree with you more WOOF. Shes a DUMBASS who needs to get off of abc's ****.
Once again CHUCK continues to do a stellar job for NBC, a great show and the best thing to watch on Monday nights.
Monday has become the best night on network television. I love 24 and House, all of the CBS comedies (except Accidently On Purpose),Chuck,Life Unexpected.
