Ratings: Heroes Always Get Up


Recommended Posts

If anyone can think of a better title for the thread, feel free to suggest changes.

 

Anyway, here's where we are after the debut (source is Yahoo! TV).  I think it sounds pretty awesome; what do y'all think? 

 

The premiere of the series, from Dan Fogelman and Alan Menken, drew a 2.1 rating among adults 18-49 at 8 PM and 7.8 total viewers against football-buoyed Fox comedies.

If those ratings hold up over the next three weeks, I'd say that this show stands an excellent chance of being renewed.  Fans are already clamoring for a second season on Twitter.

 

I think the decision to double up episodes for a four-week run was a brilliant idea.  This limited-run approach will hopefully keep viewers from getting burned out too soon.  If this approach is done permanently (with the show alternating between half-seasons of OUAT and being promoted constantly during that show's run), it could be around for a long time.

Is that everywhere, or up to affiliates? My local listings still show Forever for tonight, but an encore of Galavant on Saturday at 7:00.

 

ETA: And there seems to be a glitch on ABC's website. I click on Tonight's Schedule, and it takes me to the week of Dec 21 and says "This schedule unavailable."

Judging from the previews of that show, I'd rather more Galavant. Since when is Cruella de Vil a fairy tale character? Or is Disney populating this show with only its own characters?

Well, I understand that ABC and Disney are linked so I am not surprised at the more recent  (to me, at least) 'fairy tale' characters showing up on OUAT. That's when they started to lose me.

Yeah, I have to think that the powers in charge would have to take into account what Galavant faced as competition this month, starting with the playoffs and the Golden Globes the second and third weeks and the SAG Awards and the Miss Universe pageant last night.  Even Once Upon a Time itself would have an uphill battle going against all that.

I agree with all of this.

Was there ever any indication that that was an option?

When it comes to network TV, I rarely believe them when they say something is a mini-series/limited series. 

 

As for Galavant, I believe it was originally picked up as a series and not a mini-series.  Therefore, the writers/producers thought that they were writing a series with a potential for a second season like any other series, even if the order was reduced.
