How/when can we find out how well the show is doing on TV Land?

robyrob · 07-06-2006, 08:40 AM

if they move it to 3:00AM in a week, we'll know that it tanked

if they have another marathon in a month we'll know that it did REALLY WELL!

Good Point, those are some of the ways to find out-lol I still would like Benson to come on at 9:30pm or 10pm

It still would be nice to get the actual numbers to see how it's doing. I did not see it as a positive sign that it was moved a half-hr later after a very short time in the 10pm EST slot but others explained that it wasn't really a big deal. It is for me though, since 10:30pm EST is around the time I get very sleepy and it's tougher for me to stay awake to watch it.

The Best Time for a New Show is 8pm to 10pm. Not 11:30pm and after

Benson has faltered in the ratings after the marathon. It did OK in the 11 p.m. slot early, but now it is not doing much.
Thus changes have been made...

Benson will lost its 11:30 p.m. slot and will only air Friday nights from 12-4am:

Wow, that's disappointing. But I get the feeling TV Land has a lot of young viewers (judging by their message boards) and they are pretty much hung up on certain shows. I don't think a lot of viewers are open-minded about newer shows.

Pavan · 07-07-2006, 10:35 AM

227 is already getting pulled for once a week airing. So, Benson at least has it a bit better.

BensonFan · 07-07-2006, 10:38 AM

Also, it seems that TV Land has set Benson up for failure. I never see new shows starting so late. I don't understand what their thinking was. If you introduce a new show, at least give it a fighting chance to succeed by starting it out in a good time slot. 11pm EST is not anything to brag about. 9 or 10pm EST would make a lot more sense.

Pavan · 07-07-2006, 11:30 AM

11PM is still primetime for TV Land. I remember Three's Company debuted at 11PM back in 2000.

gilligan fanatic · 07-07-2006, 12:29 PM

I don't think 11:30 is really that bad at all. I have had Benson on every day. I don't really watch it, but I see it all the time. Some people might say 8 or 9 is bad because some people go out at that time.

BensonFan · 07-07-2006, 12:36 PM

Well it does make you wonder what might have happened. According to TV Land, a lot of people requested the show, and then the marathon did pretty well. Possibly poor promotion? When I watch other TV Land shows, I never see promos for Benson.

Damm, well why not move it to 10pm? So what will be in place of Benson on Mondays from 12am to 4am?

Well who will watch 227 at 12:30pm? So that's why no one was watching

Three's Company. Basically, TC and Benson are switching marathon nights.
