At least we're still in the threes! I just hope we stay there!
I think maybe it was just that this episode was so campy and very much an episode for the hardcore fans, like 'Ghostfacers' that you were either going to love it or hate it and it wasn't one of those that was necessary to watch for the mythology or continuity or anything, so that could've been what happened.
The irony is, those 'funny' episodes happen to be some of my all-time favorites, or at least my most quoteable episodes. I mean, Ghostfacers, Bad Day at Black Rock and Hollywood Babylon, are in my Top 10 favorite episodes (along with the Pilot, In the Beginning, Lazarus Rizing, What is and What Should Never Be, All Hell Breaks Loose, Parts 1 and 2 - they so count as one, Mystery Spot, and No Rest For the Wicked).
Anyway, ratings shouldn't even matter in this day and age, they're completely antiquated and they don't even give a realistic idea of the size of an audience that a show actually has. I mean, I want a Nielson box and you know what, they won't give me one, probably for that reason!
We all know that Kripke has said '5 seasons and no more' so as long as a renewal comes through we really can't bitch and considering the fact that, from what I've heard about the other shows on the CW, Dawn would be completely braindead (not that she isn't already) to not renew SPN. I mean, she's had horrible luck with new shows the past few seasons and SPN's been fairly consistent, which is something she desperately needs.
It's just said that the big networks are talking about cancelling shows that are pulling in 9 mill vs. 10 mill like last year and we're so jazzed about 3, it just goes to show you that publicity really does go a long way (because let's face it, Milo is on Heroes, Jared is on SPN, they were both on GG; there is no reason why their shows couldn't be as successful as each other if they were given the same amount of promotion and were on equal networks, but no, they get a big network and billboards and comics and webisodes and we get the CW and Dawn 'dumbass' Ostroff.
