the "Kickoff Curse" and other scheduling news

[schrodingersbat]

According to the TV Feeds My Family blog, ratings for the second episode of Shattered went down, for an estimated 375,000 viewers across Canada. They're saying Shattered is in the grip of the "First new show of the season" curse, of which only a handful of shows has survived in the last 35 years, or so says this guy who has too much time on his

Nielson was saying, in Variety, that they're trusting the ratings less because of the whole online thing. my feeling, they kept THE BRIDGE for another season, SHATTERED should be ok for at least one season. I found it didn't get nearly enough press, so I'm totally gunning for it to do well. Come on Canucks. Maybe CKR can get a spot on the hour, to do some crazy promotions... mm the hour :P

Fingers crossed!

I think CKR on The Hour might actually make my life :D

MINE TOO! I feel so delayed in this canuck loving fandom. I'm having such a hard time finding films and shows with CKR AND Hugh in them. It kills. Like Love Crimes... but CKR on the Hour would be AMAZEBALLS. Hardcore.

I didn't even know there was one until a few weeks ago and I'm Canadian! XD

Maybe if we started a petition...

As a fellow Canuck that makes me feel better. I've been trying to find Love Crimes everywhere. Because the idea of seeing hugh dillon in a sequened suit that makes him look like an incarnation of satan is far too appealing.

High five! I'm actually kind of terrified of seeing him in that. I think it's the tie :D

Have you tried renting it? I know the Blockbuster where I live always has really really random things on the shelves...

I've looked EVERYWHERE for it. I can't find it. I saw someone selling it online but I don't have a credit card. I even considered asking Telefilm. Honestly, the video stores where I live have the saddest collection of movies ever. I DO THINK that we had it at film school. But I don't know... I have to ask a friend when she goes back to check for me. lol.

Dude, that sucks. I haven't really looked for it but if I ever come across it, I'll be sure to let you know :)
