I hope you raise a ton of money and buy the company from Goldwater & Silberkleit. Then you can run the company any way you like. If wishes were horses, as the saying goes, beggars could ride.

As i said before if i were in charge of the production,I'll make it better

Quote from: SAGG on January 29, 2017, 03:51:05 AMI'll weigh in on this. I couldn't see the show because a tree fell on a power line near where I live. I didn't get any power until just about 9:00, which is when the show ended. It appears from what I see from the critique on these boards is that I didn't miss anything.

I know how you feel because in my place we sometimes have too much power cuts.

Quote from: SAGG on January 29, 2017, 03:51:05 AM It seems as if the show's producers have went too far in trying to portray Archie and company into a Twin Peaks/Beverly Hills 90210 show from what we know. Translation: Greg Berlanti went too far in his vision of Archie. I can't figure out why he didn't go the route of his superhero shows and make subtle changes without going over the top. He could have made Archie into a light comedy, and kept the diversity that was ingrained and rock-solid. Example: He didn't have to make Josie African-American, since Valerie had that distinction already. He could have had Frankie and Ginger be the Latino representatives instead of putting others in to do so. I think it's going to Berlanti's head that he can put anything on the air and get away with it. Only time will tell. I'll see if I can look at the premiere online, and make a call of my own....

Yeah,I agree he should have made it as a comedy drama series in the tone of scrubs or at least maybe glee.

When I was watching the premiere there was a child abducted and the alerts keep going off and blocking off part of the screen. Poor kid  . I recorded it (with the alerts though), but its on the CW app.

And that's why people use streaming sites instead or pirated videos.

To be fair to Riverdale, it was a Thursday night with new episodes for hit shows and the Mary Tyler Moore dedication. I got the issue on DVR and will look at it later.

But the viewers that were watching the Mary Tyler Moore tributes are not the same demographic that watches CW teen drama shows, so that's a poor excuse.

I mentioned in the shoutbox, but the ratings were slightly less than the ratings for the CW show that aired previously "Supernatural."

It was the series premier.  As such, it should be contrasted against other premiers.  It tanked.  It folded like Hillary Clinton with Iowa voters.

Finally watched it. It was good. I'd give it a B.

Not sure how much any of you watch TV ratings, but normal CW ratings are way lower than the other networks.  A .5 in the 18-49 rating is borderline but could be renewable for them.  The same website linked on the original post tracks their own renew/cancel predictions based off a formula that's been fairly accurate. So those really interested can check their site each week (usually on Tuesday they update their renew/cancel posts).

It's going to go lower after the premier.  Premieres perform better than subsequent episodes.  From what I've heard, this is the kind of ratings other premiers for CW pulled in that were never renewed for a second season.

On the commercials they keep calling it a hit series.

And you should believe whatever advertisements tell you, because they would never lie to you.

Back in the day you had 3 channels, no cable. Now, lets move along to 2017. We have 500 channels. Getting a ratings hit today is extremely difficult. Networks just don't give a show a chance to develop anymore. They order 13 episodes, sometimes less. If the show does poorly, it's gone. Anyone remember the joke from the TV show "Family Guy"? Where Peter comes in the door & tells everyone their show's been cancelled. Any chance? They ask. Peter say's, well, if any of these shows get cancelled from FOX we have a chance. He then rattles off about 30 TV shows that aired that season on FOX. Every one of them cancelled.

There is no agreed upon quantitative definition of the term "hit series", so it can be used in whatever fashion the commercials consider expedient. "Look, we found 4 or 5 quotes pulled out of context from reviews, that make it sound like smart people from newspapers or magazines or websites (that you may or may not have heard of) are giving the show a thumbs-up! See, that proves IT'S A HIT!"

And so was Family Guy. Yup, it was cancelled. But then the show was rerun in a late-night time slot (I can't quite recall if it was Comedy Central, or Cartoon Network, but it was one of those two), and when Fox got a look at those numbers, the show got UN-cancelled, and has since been running for years and years.

Well i still think it is going to be a hit though i am not interested in that series and its going to be renewed for another season in 2018 besides the cw series reboot of beauty and the beasts that was loosely based on the 80s one was renewed fro many seasons though it was almost forgotten
