LIR to LMS re: Last Resort--I love it, the acting is exceptional for TV (even Scott Speedman) and it will break my heart when the network cancels it.

Right now it's not pulling the 18-49 demographic numbers that the network wants for L+1. Nielson refuses to count L+3 or L+7 (where several ratings points are gained for Last Resort) because--well, I don't know why. They refuse to recognize there's been a total evolution in the way we watch TV. Until L+7 is accepted, there will be an ever growing heap of scripted hour-long dramas tossed on the scrap pile.

Bastards.

I hope at least it's given a chance to have a satisfying ending. -- nm - LMS Nov 5, 10:32
Yup. It's a show I won't stop watching (and will look for on DVD eventually) even if I think it's getting axed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin still misses Journeyman too. Nov 5, 10:23
Three new shows I really like: Last Resort, Vegas and The Neighbors. And sadly it seems only The Neighbors has a chance of a renewal. - Jovian Nov 5, 10:14 21
- Did you see the EW write up on Revolution? - Spawnfall Nov 5, 10:27 1
  - If it was positive, it doesnt surprise me in the least. I mean Wreck It Ralph is 84% fresh. - Jovian Nov 5, 10:31
- I really like nashville. -- nm - amanda Nov 5, 10:25 4
  - I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do. - Dr.Vermin Nov 5, 10:26 3
    - I thought the NYmag review was very apt. - amanda Nov 5, 10:31
    - I like it a lot, too. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 5, 10:29
    - Yup, it's got very solid storytelling. -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 5, 10:27
- not looking good for Vegas, huh? - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:24 2
  - So they're saying...but it is CBS and their tolerance for low performing shows is much different than the rest of the networks. -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 10:26
  - Yeah, there's only a couple of shows that we even bother watching before it hits week 4 or 5. -- nm - spamlet Nov 5, 10:25
- I have all of Vegas stacked up. What's a good comparison show for it? -- nm - Wreck It David Nov 5, 10:21 10
  - The show would be wildly popular on a more daring network. - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:33 1
    - I love the time period as criminal rights weren't invented back then and Quaid is pulling off a hardass well -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:34
  - Spencer for Hire only with more mob stuff maybe? Quaid and Chikliss are both great -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:27 2
    - yea, for me the actors are what sell this show. Even the cute blonde from SoA and Alactraz is decent - Jovian Nov 5, 10:29 1
      - and she does indeed look hot -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:30
  - Life On Mars (american version) - Jovian Nov 5, 10:24 4
    - It has to be to the point that if actors see that dude cowboy saunter onto the set they start... - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:26 3
      - lol yea, poor Jason O'Mara -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 10:28 2
        
        He's not even bad at what he does and some of the shows should have worked... -- nm - ThunderProfit Nov 5, 10:29 1
        
        Oh I think he is great. Just really rotten luck. -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 10:30
One of the only new shows I like. -- nm - Spawnfall Nov 5, 10:11
Also, whoever scheduled it for 7:00 pm, the *family hour*, deserves to be horsewhipped. It should be on at 9 or 10 pm. -- nm - Trishgiving Nov 5, 10:10 1
- yeah, we discussed that here, after the NCIS shows would have been a perfect place -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:11
yeah, I like it too. For Crash: -- (link) - decline Nov 5, 10:10
word (also, sadly looks like Vegas might be in trouble...but Arrow is rocking! so that is good) -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:09 2
- I'm so disappointed in Arrow. Ollie Queen is nothing like the Ollie Queen I like. - Kim Pine Nov 5, 10:58 1
  - I just find it fun :) and like that he's not all goody goody like Batman - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:59
Nielson is clueless. -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 10:09 3
- if they admit it though their entire reason for being would be called into question -- nm - Beakraker Nov 5, 10:10 2
  - Exactly. It's also insane to me that they don't count online viewings. Supposedly the big concern is people skipping the ads. Have they ever tried to - Trishgiving Nov 5, 10:15 1
    - I've been a Nielson household and an Arbitron household and Arbitron is an order of magnitude smarter. -- nm - ceregon Nov 5, 10:21
