I guess this is good for BaTB right? And good news for it's renewal
ReplyDeleteThey should air Season 3 next summer too. Fans would be happy it got S3 and other should not argue because it would not block other shows from airing
ReplyDeleteyea. if they have great writing and advertise it great, they might regain viewers and demo enough to switch it to a summer show. Less competition.

ReplyDeleteAndrew recently got a very nice Volkswagen just by working online with a macbook
air. read the full info here Cashduties.COM
I guess the fans are rewarding the network for picking it up when everyone else thought it was a lost cause. Good for you beasties! if you actually manage to regain some demo, season 3 may not be your final season yet.
ReplyDeleteBeasties will take good news wherever they can get it. This looks promising and I for one am all for BATB becoming a summer show but I think it might be to expensive for that to be the case.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic news!! If the ratings keep increasing every Monday night, season 3 may not be our last. Love this show, great news for Beasties everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOverall good news for CW! Showing fans' support and thanks for the executive decisions of the #BATB S3 renewal! Proofing that CW fans can make a (small or big) different to their beloved shows!
ReplyDeleteit's still only a 0.4 or am I missing something ?
ReplyDeleteI'm generally all for theCW investing more into scripted summer programming.
ReplyDeleteand that's even with 24: live another day airing, so awesome
ReplyDeleteThe CW should keep BatB as a summer program. Maybe it won't it 0.2 again.
ReplyDeleteMusic to my ears! Just love BATB and hope we get renewed again because our cast and crew are amazing. Beasties are the best fans who will help turn this show around!!
ReplyDeleteIt's above average for BATB.
ReplyDeleteStill not great, but I guess for the fans any chance to celebrate is good.

ReplyDeleteMove BATB to summer and give something else it's Fall/Spring slot.
looks like it...
ReplyDeleteI would love that. If they moved/started 4/5 scripted shows in summer it would be great. Or if they would give the less successful shows always final season with 6 eps in summer to give ending to its fans, i would really love them :)
ReplyDeleteIf only they'd take the plunge. Unfortunately I don't think CBS really cares about The CW enough to support that kind of endeavor. If only WB would buy them out, maybe we could get something like this. You really should be working for the CW btw :P Someone needs to bring these ideas to their attention!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a Witch-centric TVD spin-off. Something like TSC, but like you said, reusing the locations to cut costs.
Arrow/Flash could have a rotating mini-series during summer (different per year). Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Black Canary, ect. Explore other parts of the DC universe (both hero and villain).
Rather then a Buffy spin-off (honestly I think it's passed, and everyone behind it has moved on) I think they should look into other novels. They've had some success with L.J. Smith (TVD has done well and TSC despite being cancelled built up a solid fanbase), so I think they should look into her Night World series. Heck or even give 'The Selection' a 3rd go.
Considering William Shatner and Anne Rice are CW fans, I wonder if they can get them involved in programming. A show from Shatner and an adaption of one of Anne's novels could potentially go well in summer.
I don't mind BATB running in the summer, we can have more quality episodes if its even down to 13 episodes, it gives more room for other low rating freshman shows to come back. I have always been an advocate for scripted summer shows in the CW...maybe this is just a try out for the CW who knows.....yay for us BATB fans!
ReplyDeleteIts good news given the fact it was a .2 for its final aired episode 2 months ago, and also given the fact that its running in the "summer" when actually no one watches live tv. So any gain its a celebration for BATB fans!
ReplyDeleteI admit. I expected the show to drop again since this unusual slot. Still this is midly lower than Capture!s finale ratings if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteBut whatever, as long as the CW is now motivated to shove some budget into scripted summer TV I'm glad :D
Here for hope, low rated freshman shows can survive to scripted summer runs!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still crossing my fingers for Warner and Netflix to actually buy CBS out. Netflix could certainly profit from 'their own' TV network with exclusive release rights.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I'd love to just storm into theCWs headquarters, smash my file of idea samples onto Mark Pedowitz's desk saying: "Here they are, now go and make money" in a caveman-esque tone.
But sadly the furthest my ideas ever got were to Carina MacKenzie and it seems like she didn't take my idea for a TVD digital spin-off to Julie Plec :(
That's what I actually had in mind, Bonnie and Davina being lured into a mysterious town by a old witch coven. But for some reason they are trapped in town from now on and have to protect the mysterious source of magic from vampires, wolves and demons led by the very creature that once granted the first witches their power but now demands it back by erasing the entire witch population
I would totally agree on a Birds of Prey spin-off but I just can't sit trough Caity Lotz's acting, it's just so painful to watch. That said I'd totally dig various miniseries set in the DC universe. Like Teen Titans, Birds of Prey, Suicide Squad, Injustice League, Azrael or Seven Men of Death.
I'd say the time of books being turned into shows is slowly coming to a close, I'd advocate to take a peek at the video game industry. Currently movie universes being tied to TV shows is a trend but how about turning successful VG franchises into TV shows ? With the current zombie hype a Resident Evil show tying into the movies AND games featuring the origins of Chris, Wesker and Claire would certainly prove to be successfull for SyFy. Or a Fable series, chronicling the rise of a new hero each season. Or Risen, Assassin's Creed, GTA....boy I've got to admit: turning The Elder Scrolls into a series would be amazing
Shatner SHOULD be on The 100 or some sci-fi show, I just need my Kirk back. As for Anne Rice...I'm not sure wether a Vampire Chronicles show could work on theCW. But Stuart Townsend is free now, so a Lestat themed show could happen.
I just need a 10 episode long Salem's Lot series to happen
Agreed, at least each show finding a shortened second season to at least give fans proper closure would be an amazing move
ReplyDeleteIt helps to have little competition.
ReplyDeleteI will watch #BATB no matter what time of the year it airs and if a summer run proves to be good for ratings, then I'm all for it! Maybe that's the way for us to get a full 22-episode in Season 3 and then on to Season 4, etc...
ReplyDeleteYeay! FInally ratings went up. It goes to show that what Beasties want is the two of them together! That's what keeps people watching and wanting to watch.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Im all for fan favorite low rated shows, I know its hard to hope among networks since they based their renewals in the high rating shows, but the CW its kind of different, Im just hoping for renewal on my current low rated shows which are not doing that good among cable shows. Turn & Penny Dreadful, they are struggling with ratings right now but they are short seasons so here Im hoping they renew those two shows because they are so good IMO, I know BATB has its flaws but it has a special thing that is appealing to us women LOL. Thanks for reading!
ReplyDeleteIt's going to take more than enthusiastic Beasties to make BATB into a good show. Season 1 wasn't too bad. Season 2 was terrible and really last night's showing was no big improvement just more Beasties showed up. It will fade back to it's .2 rating soon enough.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see #BATB with a summer spot. It would be awesome to keep the love alive. I really don't watch anything during the summer because everything is reruns and I can't wait till fall till new seasons become. I think CW could be on to something good with this show continueing in a summer spot. It would be awesome for all of us Beasties that love this show and want to see it continue with much success.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah!
