Thanks. So it was actually getting higher ratings last season after Gilmore Girls. It's a tough position for TPTB of the show to be in, because didn't Kripke lobby to have the show moved to be after Smallville? I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of pull now to say, "Move it again. I was wrong," if it's getting even lower ratings.
Of course, nobody could have known that the show would be up against both CSI and Grey's Anatomy and isn't it also against Scrubs? Heck, even I like Scrubs, though I don't watch it. For anyone who doesn't like the icky dead body show or the soapy hospital show, there's the funny hospital show. *g*
So I think it`s safe to say we could attract more viewers, at least go back up to 5 Million but not against CSI and Grey. :(
It needs an anchor show like Smallville, though, I think--at least for one more season, which is too bad...
I was reading about Seinfeld, though, and that show didn't become popular until it's fifth season according to things I've read. It started becoming more of a cult show in the 4th season, but the fifth season was the break-out year. There are other shows that were similar. It's too bad that shows aren't given that kind of time any more. I really hope they'll give SPN at least one more season to see what happens.
