Bobs burgers was such crap!!!!! I turned it off after 3 mins. The cape meh i might watch some more if I have run out of everything else to watch.
man, whatluck nbc has. THE CAPE SUCKED BIG TIME.
say goodbye to "the cape" and "V" they will burn the remaining episodes of those 2 shows either on Saturday nights or on nbc.com and abc.com
I have to agree with the comments so far. Bob's was very bad. The Cape, unwatchable.
The Cape did OK. Lets see how it does on Mondays. I actually thought it was fun. I will keep tuning in.
I was actually impressed by The Cape. I'll definitely watch it again.
I thought the Cape was all right. Two hours in one night is a little much for almost any show. One episode or 3 minutes as some people sample is usually not enough to judge a program.
Not bad for Bob's Burger's premiere on FOX and The Cape on NBC. CBS' numbers suck big time especially in the demo category. They practically have to pay 18-49 year olds to tune in to their Sunday shows. Desperate Housewives is starting to blow up now that football season is almost over. Wouldn't shock me at all to see it hit 14 million sooner or later. Both Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy are experiencing a serious resurgence this season. Fantastic writing no doubt on both accounts.
Wow is NBC going to be hurting for ratings without football anymore. The Cape will only last a handful of episodes before it is relinquished to Saturdays and NBC is in deep crap right now. As for Bob's Burgers, maybe a little too much animation on FOX could be hurting them in the long run.
I thought Bob's Burgers was very funny. I dont know why people didn't like it. Its nice to have a new show in that slot that isn't by Seth Macfarlane.
