@realphill Well, Nick and Trey (and Joe) are covering The X Factor so it's going to be fun.
Thanks for joining the live blog! You guys are awesome! I love you all!
I LOVE THIS!!!!
Thanks for joining the live blog tonight! I love you all!
I'm so harassed but I'm determined to get these videos out on time for BOTH The Voice and DWTS! Woohoo! :)
Present!
Present!
Blogs are awesome. :)
OUCH
@Mikhail XO Thanks. I'll see what I can do. :)
@takakupo The main reason that I say there is "no comeback" is that Idol has crossed the "psychological barrier" of being a phenomenon to truly a "has been". Now when they say that they "make stars" it doesn't hold any weight because this season has proven otherwise in the ratings. This will loom large in the search for new judges in the coming months and probably with a new production team. The show will stammer out of the gate in January 2014 -- again off the heels of The Voice and The X Factor in the fall -- and the downward cycle begins again, now with even worse numbers than this season.
The best that it can do is stay stable at some sort of number like "Survivor". But there are no more bragging rights at being the "best".
They cynical me is debating whether I should champion the return of Nigel Lythgoe or not. But I think the best course of action at this point is to completely start over with something new. Either way, a loss-loss position for this show.
For the past couple of seasons, they should have aimed for how to make the show "stable". Unfortunely, the various "changes" they implemented damaged the show severely. 8 million viewers lost in one year. The floor just collapsed from under them.
@jiggamang It's everywhere. Even if you go to iTunes itself the results are right there.
EPIC EPIC
This is an example of a greeter comment.
I'm really looking forward to this! Getting my stuff together now. I want to apply for this so bad. Please pick me!
CBS dropped the show starring Rupert Grint as well. :(
@NickRoman1 I wouldn't say "guaranteed" but it's a smart decision since it would be up against NCIS on CBS, new comedies on FOX, and The Biggest Loser on NBC. I think it would fare better with younger viewers than the FOX offerings.
@NickRoman1 Well, they revamped Tuesday but everything else is the same really. But the fact that they actually changed an entire night of programming just for SHIELD is a big vote of confidence. It's almost like telling CBS: here take all the old people on Tuesdays because we have something the young people will watch.
I'm still shocked though. Even with low ratings, DWTS still has millions of viewers even on the results show. The DWTS Results show is actually one our cash cows on the blog -- and now it's gone! This means double work on Mondays for me since the results will be squeezed in there.
So happy they are doing everything they can to make Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. happen.
