In this interview with Gilles Marini he says he "thinks" they are doing 24 so maybe they did get extended

Good, it makes sense to have 24 of both Desperate and B&S.

tvcrazed · 02-08-2010, 10:42 AM

well its hardly confirmation and he could be wrong. plus DH could possibly still be 23, after all ABC ordered less of that than GA in the first place when one would assume they would want 24, must be a reason, maybe Marc Cherry didnt want to do more thna that. do you know anyone at ABC you can ask?

tvcrazed · 02-08-2010, 04:40 PM

this is the first year BIGGEST LOSER finale is going head to head with DWTS finale 5/25

Pavan · 02-08-2010, 06:39 PM

They are still saying 23 for Desperate. Got no reply from the B&S camp. Hopefully it is atleast 23 and not 22.

tvcrazed · 02-08-2010, 06:58 PM

Thanks

Pavan · 02-08-2010, 09:01 PM

Got word from the B&S camp that the episode order is indeed 24 episodes! Marini is right! So, 24 for B&S and 23 for DH. B&S will have a special two-hour flashback episode on Sunday, April 11. Therefore, B&S is new on Feb. 21 (ep 15), Feb. 28 (ep 16), March 14 (ep 17), April 11 (ep 18/19), April 18 (ep 20), April 25 (ep 21), May 2 (ep 22), May 9 (ep 23) and May 16 (ep 24). I guess we can guess how Desperate is now from this B&S schedule. Here is my guess: Feb. 21 (ep 15), Feb. 28 (ep 16), March 14 (ep 17), March 21 (ep 18), April 18 (ep 19), April 25 (ep 20), May 2 (ep 21), May 9 (ep 22), May 16 (ep 23).

thanks, hopefully the only breaks are mar 28th for V from 7-11p and april 4th for 10 commandments (though based on the past years I am assuming its apr 3rd) and then they are set for the rest of season with no reruns.

Pavan · 02-08-2010, 10:32 PM

April 4 has to be The Ten Commandments. Since B&S is not listed for April 4. Unless they go with a two-hour Home Edition.

tvcrazed · 02-08-2010, 10:33 PM

i am beyond flabbergasted that THE DEEP END is staying scheduled for thurs. they are the one network that puts so much stock in sweeps (they're the only net including the CW that is skedding new eps against olympics because its sweeps) yet they came in 5th last week and the 4th place net (CW) was .6 ahead of them - hardly close. Its also hurting GA somewhat because people are clearly watching something else at 8p and some people arent switching back. THis week Survivor will certainly dominate at 8p esp with tons of promos during super bowl. The fact that it will continue at 9p means some people will stick with it and not switch to GA. i simply do not understand these scheduling decisions at all. There is no logic to this.

the only reason i think its the 2 hour EM is because thats what they have done since 05 even when they could have aired the movie

tvcrazed · 02-09-2010, 12:40 PM

last night HOUSE had a 5.1. TAAHM had a 5.7 and TBBT had a 6.0. CASTLE had a 2.5. We dont have a show that breaks a 5 anymore. I am concerned. You cant blame it on Super Bowl promotion cause HOUSE didnt get any and it airs at 8p.

tvcrazed · 02-09-2010, 12:45 PM

so our lowest score since dec. in Jan CASTLE had a 2.6-2.8-3.0 and we had a bigger lead in this week (and CSI MIAMI only had a 3.9 after a 6.0 lead in). what changed in my opinion - the rerun in between. You mean the rerun that could have been replaced by that ep 11 they wasted in Dec. Yeah that one. sorry for beating a dead horse but their inane scheduling keeps killing whatever momentum they have.

they have a younger skewing show THE BACHELOR and out of 9 weeks it gets 4 orginals.Obviously 5 is not much more. But 5 in a row makes a difference as you are building momentum.

Pavan · 02-09-2010, 01:25 PM

Well don't forget LOST got a 5.5 last week, the highest rated scripted series of the week. And it could get a 5 tonight as well hopefully. I wouldn't count Grey's out yet for 5's, maybe this week it can get back up there. House keeps fluctuating from 4s to 5s, so Grey's can, too.

I see Castle at a 2.6, was hoping for a 3 again, but sill solid. Maybe the Super Bowl promoted CSI Miami episode hurt it just a tad. Maybe that rerun in December was the difference, but I liked the idea of a new episode then because then people would think Castle will be new even when Dancing isn't on.

ABC orders more 'Dating in the Dark'
ABC has picked up six more episodes of Endemol's summer reality show "Dating in the Dark."

The series pulled a respectable number airing after "The Bachelorette" last summer.
