In response to "Ender from B2: No, I didn't see SHIELD past the first third, same as most . Hunting nailed it - They failed, lost the bulk of viewers & can't recover -- nm" by MDH

Since it's a show that will not be canceled, they have plenty of time to attract viewers.

They should think outside the box and put re-runs on ABC Family or the like. Those last half a dozen episodes of season one are mesmerizing television.

Responses:

SHIELD is 100% a show that can be cancelled. ABC was having big conversations as to make it a limited series. - MDH Sep 24, 10:30 13
- it won't be canceled. But I think the adjustment you mentioned is VERY possible and I think we'll see that this year actually. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 10:55
- No, it can't be canceled because they're all in on Marvel. The entire season of AoS/Agent Carter is already planned out. -- nm - David Sep 24, 10:53 2
  - Cancelled, not renewed come next May. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 11:05 1
    - You're reading a lot into a show finished at 5.45 last year and starting with 5.60 this year. -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:09
- So you don't actually mean "Boring first season", you mean "Boring 7 episodes...\ -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:36 8
  - It's 2014...7 episodes is enough to kill a show. In 7 episodes, it went from a 4.8 demo to a 2.3 demo. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 10:45 5
    - And yet it did well enough for them to renew it. Movies driving people to TV is the tail wagging the dog. - Ender Sep 24, 10:51 4
      - "Basically free to produce" couldn;t be further from the truth. It's one of/if not the most expensive network show right now. -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 11:17
      - Let's not confuse a renewal with doing well. - Will Hunting Sep 24, 11:03
      - Shield has settled into ratings similar to Castle and Castle's going on S7 for ABC without the massive synergy. -- nm - Ender Sep 24, 10:56 1
        
        Castle is also already syndicated... -- nm - MDH Sep 24, 11:20
  - It doesn't matter the number of episodes. A small number kept with it, but the millions that left did so b/c it was boring. 6 week trial run fails - MDH Sep 24, 10:42
  - Joss is gonna make the Angel model work on network TV even if it *kills* him. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 10:41
