Well Boston Legal must not be doing as well as before for ION to cut back. The movies must be pulling in some viewers, esp since we have a lot of familiar hit titles in the package and to see more recent stuff like The Departed be coming on....wow........maybe Warner Bros just ought to outright buy ION (and give up its share of the CW) and start fresh in the mini-network business.

The way ION is going, the entire schedule will be movies soon. BORING!!!

Jude The Obscure · 05-18-2009, 06:09 PM

Did Quantum Leap at least cycle through once?

Jude The Obscure · 05-20-2009, 04:21 PM

just saw this on the web--ION Files for Bankruptcy!

They were simply spending beyond their means. I still hold to my belief that the company will fold in a year.

QL has been on for a good while, so I'm sure it has cycled through.

VisualSensation · 05-23-2009, 09:54 PM

It looks like they are simply wiping out old debt and getting $300 million more in financing once they emerge. Talk about throwing good money after bad!

Pavan · 05-29-2009, 11:49 AM

ION is switching Family Feud and Reba due to poor ratings. Is it any wonder? Reba is one of the most idiotic, annoying "sitcoms" there is. Completely unfunny crap. They should just pull the show from the schedule entirely. I liked the fact that Family Feud aired at 6 because I could watch that and then switch over to ABC and watch Jeopardy! and Wheel Of Fortune at 7. Now they'll be back to being on at the same time again and I'll have to flip back and forth between stations (which I hate doing.) They also need to stop showing so many movies. All of the movies have been shown already dozens of times on cable, broadcast tv and released on DVD.

bliggenstrauff · 05-29-2009, 04:10 PM

At least they're keeping Family Feud, even though they're dropping Quantum Leap. I never liked Reba either. I'd also appreciate it if they didn't play so many movies that I have on dvd or video like Batman and Major League II.

Scoobiedoo30 · 05-29-2009, 04:30 PM

I really through Reba was doing good for Ion.

Pavan · 06-03-2009, 11:54 AM

Ghost Whisperer launch did a 0.5 rating, better than Reba and ER though.

Monday, June 1, 2009
HH Rating (Households)
8:00PM Ghost Whisperer 0.5/1
9:00PM NCIS 1.2/2
10:00PM NCIS 1.1/2

ION beat The CW and MNT on Monday night in HH and tied them with a 0.3 18-9 rating in primetime.

bliggenstrauff · 06-03-2009, 05:50 PM

Tried to get this posted yesterday, the site was down. Anyway, is Quantum Leap staying? Looks like it's on the schedule
