"The New Boss" Ratings - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Oh god... here we go ... 6.89 million 2.0 demo, the lowest yet for an original episode

.

I don't get it

... this was quite a good episode and the competition is not that great...what's going on here

?

Lost to Wife Swap in the demo and ABC isn't even trying.

I think it'll get renewed but only because the strike means there are not as many pilots as usual and because I think FOX wants to have ONE live-action sitcom survive(I don't think 'Til Death will). It's going to be on a very short leash if it does come back though. The show is HUGELY expensive with Patricia Heaton and Kelsey Grammar and the ratings don't justify the cost.

Glad to have you back Brent buddy. The moment I saw the demo down I knew you'd be back to comment here

I haven't watched the ep yet, but I did record it. Can't wait to see it!

Brian Damage · 05-08-2008, 08:54 PM

Some people want to see its demise for some odd reasoning. Fret not, everything has been down post strike. Even the almighty AI, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Dancing with the Stars etc.

That ep. was really good! The new boss is so typical, other than the hugs... Maybe they'd be smart to concentrate on the work environment more (a la MTM) and less on the home/Gracie angle.

It's a shame this episode didn't even go over 7 million. It's been losing steam lately. It seems like more people enjoy the Chuck/Kelly storyline rather than episodes revolving around the newsroom. Last weeks episode was great, but overall, I enjoy the newsroom episodes more.

I don't get why they don't air this and Til Death after Idol. I'd bet all 3 shows would benefit from the switch.

I don't think it had to do with the storyline, almost every show was down this week. Still I didn't expect that kind of drop in the demos. You're right about the scheduling time though. I really don't get why FOX didn't put the comedies after AI.

Wednesday finals

6.95 million demo 2.1

This to me speaks volumes! This is a show that belongs at the 9-9:30 hour. Especially in January, when AI is on the airwaves.

Oh definitively, AI or not, this is a 9 a clock show. The actors and the writers have been emphasizing this from the get go. This is not an a family show!

Brian Damage · 05-09-2008, 10:07 PM

Agreed, let's hope FOX realizes this and brings BTY back for a 2nd season and then places it in that timeslot.

Brent88 · 05-09-2008, 11:57 PM

DHD says it has been cancelled.

I really thought it'd get renewed(I know I've been critical but FOX is struggling in the sitcom department big time).

I hate Fox. They are run by idiots. Do they really think The Inn is going to do any better and who are they going to pair it with...Til Death?

Probably. I guess it came down to costs because 'Til Death did a LOT worse in the ratings.

'The Inn' is in at Fox
Net also renews 'Death,' passes on 'Back to You'

Here it is -- the first series pickup this upfront season.

Fox on Friday night ordered the comedy "The Inn."

The network also renewed sitcom " 'Til Death," while, in a somewhat surprising move, it opted not to bring back comedy "Back to You" for a second season.

"The Inn," from 20th TV, stars Niecy Nash and Jerry O'Connell and is described as "Upstairs/Downstairs" set at a hip New York hotel.

Sophomore " 'Til Death" and freshman "Back to You" -- both multicamera sitcoms -- have run in a block to OK but not spectacular ratings. However, "Back to You" is far more expensive as it boasts marquee talent in front and behind the camera with Kelsey Grammer, Patrica Heaton and creator Christopher Lloyd.
