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

SHIELD is 100% a show that can be cancelled. ABC was having big conversations as to make it a limited series.

Run 13 episode sets only before movies came out, and abandon the whole 22-24 episode season. If this season falls as hard as last did, it's done for.

Responses:

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
