Wow, nach den letzten Wochen ist selbst eine 13-Episoden Abschlussstaffel ja schon immer unwahrscheinlicher geworden, aber das ist der Beweis, dass die Network-Landschaft doch noch nicht ganz verloren ist. Jetzt muss ABC aber bitte auch bei V nachziehen und die Fringe Bestellung darf nicht zum Nachteil von Locke & Key werden.
btw. Ein Wunder, dass der tvbythenumbers Autor wenigstens leise zugibt, dass er sich geirrt hat. Normalerweise tun sie ja gerne so als hätten sie eine überraschende Verlängerung lange kommen sehen, obwohl sie vorher schon Grabgesänge für die Serie angestimmt haben.
Nicht überraschend, aber ähnlich erfreulich:

While FX executives are clearly disappointed by the audience's rejection of the critically praised freshman drama Lights Out, which was canceled today, they are pretty happy with the performance of sophomore Justified. So much that they are close to renewing the series for a third season. There is no rush, but the deal with producing studio Sony Pictures TV for Season 3 might be completed in time for FX's upfront party in New York on Tuesday, when the cast of the neo-Western crime drama starring Timothy Olyphant is slated to appear, along with actors from the other FX series.
Despite hitting a season low in 18-49 last night, Justified is running way ahead of Season 1 as the series has emerged as a big DVR gainer, getting a 55%-60% ratings bump from time-shifted viewing. Season-to-date, the drama has averaged 4 million viewers in Live Plus 7 for its original Wednesday 10 PM telecasts. That is up 16% from Season 1. In 18-49, the average is 2.1 million, up 16%. With multiple plays included, each episode of Justified draws 7.4 million total viewers this season, up 9% from Season 1 and close to the cumulative viewership for FX's flagship drama Sons of Anarchy. The average total 18-49 audience for each episode is 3.8 million, up 10%.
Die Zahlen werden in dem Bericht aber nach allen Regeln der Kunst schön geredet. Die Wiederholungswerte sind fürs Cable sicherlich wichtig, aber für Live +7 können sie sich nichts kaufen. Mit dem SOA Erfolg, das mit neuen Folgen selbst in schwächeren Wochen locker auf 1.6 kommt, kann man Justified dann doch nicht vergleichen.

There is a lot of buzz building for three of the six AMC scripts that took part in the network's annual pilot script "bake-off" earlier this month: Voyage, The Man With the Golden Ears and The 4th Estate. In the "bake-off," six scripts identified by AMC brass faced off in a series of elaborate presentations, with the producing team for each project showing a promo reel and each creator pitching in detail the series beyond the pilot, including mapping out the first season. AMC brass are not expected to make a decision until the week of April 4, when they will probably pick up one or two of the scripts to pilots, but three of the six finalists have been getting a lot of buzz.
Voyage, from writer/exec producer John Shiban, is described as a grounded look at human beings' first contact with extraterrestrial life seen through the eyes of an ambitious female scientist and her team at Jet Propulsion Laboratories. Sony TV and Lynda Obst are producing.
The Man With the Golden Ears is based on the Danish series about a record executive with kids who tries to balance work and family life. Scott Rosenberg is the writer/exec producer for Fox TV Studios.
The 4th Estate, from writer/exec producer Gideon Yago and Landscape/FremantleMedia, centers on Dan Hilton, a respected family man and journalist who, by investigating a major congressional scandal, risks exposing his quest for truth as a lie and that he has a second family in DC.
Wenn ich mir eine aussuchen könnte, wäre es Voyage. 4th Estate klingt auch nicht uninteressant, aber wie der sicherste Flop aller Zeiten. Rubicon meets Lone Star. :lol:
