Wow....we just got killed this week. I hate to see us keep dropping from week to week. We're getting much too close to going under 3 million already. :-(

I was just talking to my husband about the disappointing ratings and he made a comment that not everyone likes funny episodes, and did I know how previous funny ones did in past seasons. I do, and it looks like he may have a point:

Hell House - 3.76 million (#19 of 22)
Tall Tales - 3.03 million (#18 of 22)
Hollywood Babylon - 3.25 million (#12 of 22)
Bad Day at Black Rock - 3.03 million (#5 of 16)
Ghostfacers - 2.22 million (#16 of 16)

So with the exception of Bad Day at Black Rock, our humorous ones really haven't ranked all that high. Doesn't mean I'm still not disappointed in the ratings for Monster Movie, but it does put it in a new perspective.

At least we're still in the threes! I just hope we stay there!

If we don't, we may have to start to worry.

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

Good point. There are apparently a lot of people who just don't think that humor like that fits in with the Supernatural universe. They don't know what they're missing!

The irony is, those 'funny' episodes happen to be some of my all-time favorites,

Same here! I've watched Hell House about a million times.

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've been saying the same thing for years! There has GOT to be a better, and more accurate, way of compiling this kind of data.

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.

I know what you mean, but Dawn hates SPN because she "inherited" it from the WB merger. It's not her own show, which is why she came up with Reaper. And if we keep getting beat by her other shows, GG and 90210 I wouldn't put it past her to chuck SPN to the curb. :-(

it just goes to show you that publicity really does go a long way

You're telling me! Can you imagine how SPN's ratings might be if she took out ads in magazines or in the TV Guide??

(Sorry for the venting...)

Don't apologize! That's what LJ's are for. :-)
