Sarah Connor not as strong as the Ghost Whisperer or the wife swapper

Sarah Connor ChroniclesTo put it bluntly, it seems no one cares about The Sarah Connor Chronicles anymore, and people continue to not care about the new show Dollhouse.

The TV Addict has the ratings for last night's show, and both of these FOX action dramas just don't seem to have a future. In the 8pm hour, Ghost Whisperer, Wife Swap, and Howie Do It all beat The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The FOX show did beat Everybody Hates Chris by a wide margin, if that's any consolation (answer: it's not). In the 9pm hour, Flashpoint, Supernanny, and Friday Night Lights all came in ahead of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse. FOX didn't have a show at 10pm, but if it did, it would have been beaten by Numb3rs, 20/20, and several local cable access shows.

Obviously the only way to save these shows is to turn them into reality shows. Have 8 hot people live in a house and compete to see who can be the newest cast member on The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or make Dollhouse a wacky hidden camera prank show. Or maybe the other way around. 8 people have to live in a dollhouse for a month.

I-DVR-Everything

I love TSCC but I never watch it live because I work nights so it's impossible. Even if I didn't work I still wouldn't be home on a FRI or SAT..Cmon! I DVR this show and BSG. I don't have to worry about when the stupid network messes with the time slot cuz the DVR is programmed to catch it whenever it's on. I usually watch it middle of the night when I get home any where from a day to week later. And oh yeah you better believe I FF those dumb commercials. I would actually PAY from 99cents to upto $1.99 to get future episodes of this show. I think given with the internet the network should propose this to the viewers. They can put out a roll-call of viewers and say OK how many want another season of TSCC? Then the viewers PRE-PAY for the season. if the network collects enough money then they go ahead and make the season..if not then the season gets canceled and all get our money back. 3.5 mil viewers times $1.99 is about 7 million per episode. Is Fox saying they can't make 1 episode for 7 mil??? Make that ishh PPV via your set top box and only the hard core fans can watch it. The rest of the morons can watch reality TV. And NO commercials other than movie releases - I don't need a new car and I don't need Viagra and I am not looking to clean my house if I am sitting watching TV. Put that isshh on during Martha Thugwart or HGTV.

I think the way networks or the industry works how people watch TV is silly and antiquated, I can't believe the millions of people who live in this country can be determined by a few hundred people on survey! I believe if given a chance, if there is some way for video on demand that can be paid for by watching commercials or you paid for it with out commercials by broadcast over Air, Cable, Satellite and Internet
I'm sure every show or movie would find a viewer somewhere willing to watch it. video izle Now the way it a few people on Nielson or Arbitron now determines what people watch. People pay for Satellite, Cable, Internet, Tivo, Netflix, Amazon and iTunes Video. I can't believe there is no way to measure all these ways to watch all these video sources so the Networks and Studios can get paid and we the viewing public can what we want, when we want!!!!!

Hulu automatically ranks shows based on viewership. You'd think someone other we than viewers might notice that and see that on Saturday (when TSCC is posted) it's one of the most popular shows out of 608. But no. Fox is filled with freaking morons who cancel good shows, because they hate SF. Why they put it on in the first place is beyond me.

it's a shame, really.

TSCC is simply put the best show currently on air, despite the rather awkward name.

I find it hard to believe that the cable companies can't track what channels your decoder box/cable cards are tuning in to. whether you have your tv turned on or not is irrelevant

I really hope that by some miracle more people start watching TSCC. I was watching the first season on dvd last night and thinking about how much I love the characters and the moral questions the show poses. I continue to watch it every week. Once again, Fox has a great show and they don't know what to do with it.

We don't have OTA or cable TV (suspended our DTV account until football). We watch a few shows via Hulu:

30 Rock
Dollhouse
Terminator

My wife watches more via Hulu but that's all I really turn on right now.

I think both hour long shows are bit more complex and interesting than anything else on TV right now. Most TV, sadly, is boring as snot, there's no character growth, no overriding story and it all seems like police procedurals or bland soap operas.

Sure we've got Dexter on Showtime and Curb on HBO but beyond those two...
