American Dreams- victim of its timeslot - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think I know why the rating are not as good as it once was- its all due to competition and rescheduling of 2 other hit shows. Last season Cold Case was the only show that generated the highest ratings and AD was second. However, now we've got 2 other shows that have been somewhat successful in the Sunday night 8/7 time slot- Extreme Makeover Home Edition and Arrested Development. I have to admit I like both these shows and feel somewhat fustrated AD is struggling behind these shows.
Opinions?

I know what you mean. I think it should be on Saturday. Nothing really good is on Saturday. But I understand why its on Sunday. It's a family type show and lots of families think that Sunday is a day for family

Not to mention that AD has a decent sized college and high school aged following. I don't know about you, but most high schoolers and college kids aren't in front of their tvs on Saturday nights! I'm glad it's on Sunday nights -- it's a really great way to wrap up my weekend! Just be glad it's not on at 8:00 (Central), competing with the new smash hit, Desperate Housewives! (For one thing, I'd be really torn!

Not to mention that this Sunday we have to compete with the American Music Awards.

I know what you mean about the other shows. They are very good. But what are you gonna do?

Peace.

This ratings stuff is boring and overrated. But if they are some fans whom may be watching The American Music awards there's nothing we can do about it.....

Just like if some people's taste change there's nothing that can be done about that either ......

But like I said the ratings thing overrated and boring

Not to mention truly annoying cause its mentioned every week .....

And those saying stuff about the ratings going down how the show may be cancelled

Well Like I have said before it puts others like myself down and those whom keep mentioning the ratings dropping how the show may be cancelled

They don't give a care about other's feeling cause they keep mentioning it...

So now I will stop responding to people here whom talk about ratings dropping I'm sorry..........Mel
