What the hell was that crap at the end when Barney said "she is marrying me not you"? He seemed like a real jerk, I mean didn't he said himself in "The Final Page" that Ted gave him his blessing by letting Robin go? And now as he gives him one piece of advice, which is totally right, he goes and just says that? Barney

Is Revenge not back yet? I'm tired of waiting :(

I totally agree, 15 minute breakdowns are very rare to be seen (I rember seeing the 15 minutes breakdown of Community series premiere and Fringe season 4 premiere, but the never again), and they would be a more accurate indicator.
I think that, aside from the writers work which I talked above, it's fair to say that

Lead-in matters, of course, but you say it as if it was the first minutes before changing channels explain the ratings for the following show. Actually not so much; the ratings we see are an avarage for the whole hour. Let's use the return of The Voice and Revolution as an example.
The Voice: 5.5 in the final half hour.

took me a while to read the whole thing, but I'm glad I did, it's really interesting. I'd say that the problem with the programming in the network has something to do with the shows themselves; many shows start with big premiere numbers but find themselves unable to hold that audience. Go On started with a 5.4 after

Quite an episode we had! It was truly awesome! I hope we get to see more of Daenerys next week, because her move to trade one of her dragons is quite weird to say the least, she must have a plan or something. As for Jaimie, holy shit! It seems he'll have to learn to use the other hand to fight now… if he makes it out

It wasn't bad, but it wasn' that good in my opinion. It was a bit cheesy, and not really right there on the comedic potential of Community. I had some fun, but I certainly didn't laugh as much as other episodes, including S4 best to date for me "Escapism". I think A- is a bit too generous, a B+ feels like a better fit

I think that too, as I said it is very enjoyable, not doubt, but it lacks something. It's not a dealbreaker, is not even bad, it's still very good, but the start of this season doesn't feel as good as the start of season 2, though sharply better than the start of season 1

I really, really love Blackwater, so I would like to have an episode like that just once per season or less, just to keep it as special. If every episode was Blackwater GoT could become a mess. Set up is necessary, but I also think that this season has started a bit slower than S2, not sure why, it might be just a

These two first episodes have been good, enjoyable, but not quite as addictive as the past two seasons. I hope that changes soon, there's a lot of promise on the stories set up on these episodes, so I'd like to see a pay off sooner rather than later

I hope this works out: it is on NBC's death slot, it has Fuller's name (he does awesome things, but he gets bad luck on the rating department) and it follows low rated Go On.
I'd be glad if this shows somehow works out and becomes a hit, Fuller needs a project that works on the rating department so he gets to do more

mejor aún, "Troy y Abed y Anniiiie en la mañana!"

YES! GO USA! SAVE HAPPY ENDINGS!
I'm so glad! I really want to see Happy Endings season 4 :D

Victoria: "Didn't I make myself clear earlier?"
Emily: "As a matter of fact Daniel invited me, but if it bothers you too much you can pretend I left Emily Thorne at the door"
That was one hell of a burn!
I love when Revenge gets like this, over the top and delightfully soapy. Great, great episode

Loved the premiere, I was so happy it was back. Tyrion's scenes were all great, kudos to Peter Dinklage for being such a great actor.

well, I did say if it scored that it would be a miracle. Sad about such low ratings, Happy Endings surely doesn't deserve to go so low

TVBTN does says "enjoy it while you can! Because X show is getting axed!" which is kind a harsh. Sure, viewers watch a show premiere without knowing their ratings and based on how they liked the premiere they keep watching the show or not, so TVBTN doesn't do much there, but there is something about returning shows

TVBTN is usually right on their predictions, but here are some of their mistakes:
Fringe: predicted cancelled (once by the renew/cancel index, and twice by the bubble watch), got renewed for a 4th and 5th season.
Chuck: predicted cancelled, got renewed for a 5th season
Body of Prood: predicted cancelled, got renewed for

I laughed a lot with these 2 episodes, so I hope the show gets good rating (you know, good for friday night), but that might be just a wish… (hoping for a miracle a la Fringe, which posted a 1.9 on its first friday night)

It was a good episode, but not the best. The emotional resonance from Frankie/Janet scenes really touched me; it's surprising how The Middle gets life so right, it has always portrayed family relationships as they usually are
