Thanks!

Well screw the raitings, everyone is loving the show, even famous people on Twitter were talking about it. Rita Wilson, Martha Plimpton, Debra Messing, Retta, etc.

unless they are included in the lucky 5.000 Nielsen homes who decide what's on tv, nobody cares apparently. Well, two of them are working on the show so these are out anyway

Nielsen needs to change or disappear imo.

Although I don't really see why the show's ratings would be improving. If anything, they are doing more to lose viewers than to attract them.

[EndlessღLove]

Well but Rita and Martha are guest stars, they don't have to watch the show, in fact Jill Flint totally forgot TGW was on Sundays

RK doesn't seem to care, he said if the ones who are watching TWD or BB DVR TGW to watch it later, he is fine with it.

Can't blame her

As long as CBS doesn't have a better candidate to fill the slot...

Me neither

The press loves TGW, and as long as they still get some Emmy noms, we are fine

Well, I said what I thought in the News Thread about that. Emmy noms are one thing but they are getting verrrrry rare. We went from Best Drama, Best Lead, several Best Supporting, Writing, Casting, several guests to... one supporting and one guest. If they had only kept the Best Drama, that would have gone a long way but I don't know.
As for the press, well, they are reviewing the show, like they review all the shows. Extra press mentions are what the network is counting.

I don't know. All I know is I hope they have a plan if things go off the rails, OR if the show stays on.

[EndlessღLove]

Yes I know, the first year... And then all the cast got nominated for S2
If Christine got nominated this past years with almost no screentime, I would already put her in the nomination list for next year's Emmys
Well this year's Emmys were kinda crazy. KERRY WASHINGTON AND CONNIE BRITTON? I like Connie and for some reason she gets nominations for everything she does BUT NASHVILLE?
And what about Jeff Daniels beating Lewis and Spacey? And I don't watch Boardwalk Empire but who was that random guy? How is he any better than Mandy or Aaron?
And the biggest joke of the whole show was Jessica Lange not winning for Asylum So yeah, **** can happen on the Emmys
Danes, Breaking Bad, James Cromwell and Abi Morgan were probably the only wins that made sense to me.

To me it looks like they are already planning another season

If she isn't, that will definitely be the end of the Emmy love for the show! She's had so much material lately, it's almost as if... they weren't treating every Emmy nominee they have the way they are treating Archie

I like Connie and for some reason she gets nominations for everything she does BUT NASHVILLE?

Britton and Washington were just the Emmys throwing a bone to ABC, imo.

And what about Jeff Daniels beating Lewis and Spacey?

I don't agree with that because I think Daniels is quietly brilliant in TNR. Damian Lewis was chewing the scenery last season in Homeland a bit.
I would definitely have gone for Spacey myself but if he wasn't going to win, I'm glad they gave it to someone who deserved it and never won.

And I don't watch Boardwalk Empire but who was that random guy? How is he any better than Mandy or Aaron?

I only know him from other shows and he's a decent stage actor but he's not Patinkin. Aaron Paul won several times so I guess that's why they tried someone else.

And the biggest joke of the whole show was Jessica Lange not winning for Asylum So yeah, **** can happen on the Emmys

Same. She won (deservedly so) for S1 and they wanted to mix it up.
The problem with the Emmys is the repeat business. Well, it's a problem for the Oscars too (hullo, paging Meryl Streep!) but they don't know if they want to surprise people watching or to reward people.

To me it looks like they are already planning another season

I did mean a "good plan" not the same kind of "what can we do to get people going berserk online?" plan that we've been getting

They love Christine (and her Emmy and two Tonys ) All she needs to do now is to pick the right episode because it's easy to choose when you have pretty much nothing Emmy worthy, but when you do... I can't make up my mind between 5X03 and 5X04.

MANDY I really don't understand.

Yes but if that was the case they should have let Vera Farmiga won for Bates Motel and not Danes (even though I love Danes). But yes, I get what you mean, but what does NOT make sense is that she was so much better in Asylum than in Murder House, she was playing a sadistic nun who then totally lost her mind and fdjskfjsdkljfsdkl It was better than the bad-ass next door from S1.

CBS The Good Wife 1.4 and 9.35 million viewers.

Sunday Final Ratings: ‘The Amazing Race’ Adjusted Up; ‘Revenge’, ‘Betrayal’ & ’60 Minutes’ Adjusted Down & Final Sports Numbers - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers

[Gelfling]

THE GOOD WIFE drew more viewers (9.4M) than anything on ABC Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sunday & was most-watched entertainment show on b'cast Sunday

Isn't it sorta ironic how cable is now beating the hell out of commercial networks with numbers, when they technically don't really care how many viewers they get and commercial networks live off of ratings?
