In response to "Then why give the 100mil+ lead-in to a show that you don't expect to see an increase from the potential audience? -- nm" by Will Hunting

Chicago Code wasn't going to get 30 million people to stick around after the game

Your job is to use the SB 100mil viewer lead in to give you the best shot at a large audience going forward. - Will Hunting Feb 9, 11:08 1
- Exactly, between this and my post below I think we described it well. A future hit show. -- nm - MDH Feb 9, 11:13
Chicago Code damn well could have had 20-30M stick around. - MDH Feb 9, 11:07 5
- you'rr insane. Glee is their hottest scripted show and generates tons of spinoff $$ with the music as well -- nm - cupixie Feb 9, 11:09 4
  - Not denying that, but that's the point. The Super Bowl is to promote the NEXT hit show. Not the current one. -- nm - MDH Feb 9, 11:13 3
    - there have probably been a lot more attempted launches of new series after a super bowl that have failed than succeded -- nm - cupixie Feb 9, 11:14 2
      - Fox gave Glee a prime spot 2 years ago to try to jump an audience; it's worked. - Will Hunting Feb 9, 11:17
      - The last time this was the case was 1994. Enough said. -- nm - MDH Feb 9, 11:16
what's generally the point of the post-SB spot though? maximize viewers for ad revenue or maximize exposure for possible franchises? -- nm - TFox Feb 9, 11:06 2
- A show with a very wide target demographic they can either expose or blow up the ratings. And it needs to be a drama. - MDH Feb 9, 11:11
- networks have done both in the past -- nm - cupixie Feb 9, 11:06
