The pilot was available online weeks before the episode aired so I doubt they'll cancel it before at least airing episode 2, but if ratings don't improve I doubt it'll get much more far.
The problem with half of these new shows is that I don't want to start watching them because most of them get cancelled, so I don't even start with them. Other people may have the same thoughts. I did watch this pilot and it was ok, not something I would watch again.
Awww. I felt kind of bad...for about a minute. :-D I'm guessing before episode 3. Sadly I have to say, if you want some funny reading a couple of the reviews were hysterical (hollywood Reporter and SF Chronicle among them)
Even if ratings went up 20%, I think this show is just done. NBC can't justify canceling Awake and keeping this on the air when it's performing so much worse right out of the gate. I didn't even know what this show was until they released the pilot on Hulu. Kinda wish I'd never known what it was.
This one has been on my 'to watch' list for ages, but judging by the reaction I don't think I'm even going to bother watching it. Might read those reviews Prpleight mentioned though :P
If it was still in production I'd say they'd halt it and air what they have but because all 12 are made I'm guessing they'll air all twelve... unless the ratings continue to be that bad in which case they may pull it after episode 2. If it were actually up to me though, it'd be gone already.
Well one thing is for sure.........I will never tune in to a new show on ABC after 666 and Last Resort were canceled. ABC sucks! I enjoyed the pilot for this show.......it was very intriguing. It should be a mini series so give it the one season give the fans the finale and call it a day. That is how ALL NEW shows should be. Something to think about...........on this show maybe the good DR is really the alternate personality and the Hyde personality is the real person..........oh well we may never find out..sad state of affairs with TV today.

I don't know. I was wondering this myself earlier. I was thinking Monday at the earliest and Friday (after the second episode) at the latest.
ReplyDeleteI think it will get canceled early but will most likely air all its episodes.
ReplyDeleteI saw this poll on Twitter and thought "that's a bit harsh" but on discovery of its poor ratings, I don't think its harsh anymore.
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteCheck out it's position in this ratings table

I actually liked the pilot...
ReplyDeleteYikes.
ReplyDeleteYikes indeed. And when you consider most shows drop 10%-20% from the premiere it's pretty shocking
ReplyDeleteI really hope it will end its run one the first season ... the pilot was really good
ReplyDeleteThe show's gonna last three weeks !

ReplyDelete6 Days and a movie!
ReplyDeleteAlready cancelled, they just haven't told us yet. But they will a couple more episodes
ReplyDeleteBefore the 3rd episode,it was terrible.I think i lasted ten minutes then promptly turned it off...
ReplyDeleteThe rating of the premiere was really embarassing. I'd say one more episode and then cancel(l)ed ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure when it will be cancelled... maybe next Monday after Episode 2 actually goes lower in the ratings??
ReplyDeleteThe bigger question I have is why was it even picked up?

ReplyDeleteStill, even if people were promised it wouldn't get canceled I doubt it would have done any better relative to other premieres.

ReplyDeleteIt is on NBC if will run the full 12 like Awake.

ReplyDeleteI just wanna know what happens when this guy goes on vacation to Australia? Does Mr. Hyde take the day shift, and Dr Jekyll take the night shift?
ReplyDeleteAwake didn't premiere to the worst ratings of any pilot ever on all four big networks either ...
ReplyDeleteI saw the pilot weeks before it came on and my mom and I just could not get into it. I laughed throughout most of the episode.
