Conclusion to my Running Wilde following

So, how has Running Wilde been, you ask? Seems its ratings are not 'running wilde' and are staying dismally low. So, for that reason, FOX has decided to BENCH the struggling show for two weeks during sweeps. Looks like FOX may be finally giving up on the struggling series. Sad.... (evil grin)

So, what are they running during sweeps in place of Running Wilde? Two guesses. And here's a hint: This show has been run in its time slot before. You guessed it, Raising Hope. But not just Raising Hope, RERUNS of Raising Hope. So, it's bad enough to lose your time slot to another fledgling series, but to lose to its RERUNS? Will Arnett must be furious...

AND, there's speculation of show replacement mid season, and it looks like they have found a candidate. The show in question stars Christian Slater and is called "Breaking In." And they have good reason to replace it, since Running Wilde's latest rating was a dismal 1.3.

I was so hoping that I would get to blog about this show's failure during this class, and since it's probably going to happen, I will explain why I feel this show didn't make it. First of all, the storyline of the show was a bit odd. I mean, a selfish billionaire who is trying to find himself so he can make a jealous jungle woman and her kid fall in love with him? I dunno how many people could relate to this. Or find humor in this. I mean, it's just too far out there. Another reason that the show could have failed is that after watching Glee and Raising hope aka 1 and a half hours of FOX, maybe people just wanted to go to bed. Or eat dinner so they could then watch the news.

Either way, it had a good shot at being successful. It just wasn't a good show. So, goodbye, programming blog. I will miss you. :(
Blog Frog: out.

1.1

That's right, this week's episode of Running Wilde has plummeted to a 1.1 rating. Speculation now is that the show will be cancelled once football season is over.

So, apparently, many people signed the petition on facebook that co creator and star of the show Will Arnett put out there in an effort to save the struggling series. But despite all the signatures, the ratings were still terrible. Will: "Thanks to everyone who signed the petition..f**king ratings sucked...I guess America hates jokes?" William, you're so funny.


Why doesn't FOX care? Let's see, they do want fan loyalty. They do want show buzz. But most importantly, they want loyal fans to show their loyalty by actually watching the show, not tweeting about it.


Ok, so when I watch it, I don't think that it's a terrible show, and if the tv is on the channel, I wouldn't change it. Neither do my parents because they watch GLEE right before it. (?) 
Point being: Glee is one of the stronger shows on television right now. So, how can you mess up directly following a star show? Apparently, you have to have a really bad show. I'm sorry, Running Wilde, but it seems that you had the perfect chance to succeed. Good night, time, placement, lead in, etc. and you still messed up. So it is with this knowledge that I say you deserve to be cancelled. 


PS: If you're going to be cancelled, please hurry up so I can write a blog about it! Only 4 more weeks of class, aka 4 more chances for you to fail.
