I think it more to do with the attention span of the audience and their preference to arse about with tablets during the show instead of actually watching it properly.

Same here Maccadanny. I suppose The CW see potential. Fair play. But to be fair, The CW are not as concerned with ratings unlike other networks. If they were, the likes of Jane the virgin, Reign, Beauty, Nikita and House of Dixie would never of lasted as long.

Moving shows to a Friday is a really bad sign isn't it? I remember when it happened to Ugly Betty and that new Friday slot essential signed its cancellation. It's not looking good for TVD now

Essentially yes, but i don't think TVD is in danger though.
CBS moved Hawaii Five O to Friday nights after season 3 ( I think), and now it’s in its 6th season. And there’s no way it would still be on the air if it had remained in its original slot. Friday night ratings expectations are a lot lower, so if a show is moved there and it still gets the ratings which caused it to be moved there, it’ll probably be fine. |

Good news, i never thought i'd hear that considering the ratings. Rachel Bloom is excellent in this show and the songs are kind of catchy (uncut versions can be found on youtube & are quite explicit)

It will be interesting to see if it's renewed.. There will need to be some cancellations this season to make room for next season.
Containment is a one off series anyway Arrow, The Flash and Supernatural are 100 per cent certain for a renewal and I can't see TVD and TO going iZombie is doing well. Rates higher than Jane, CEG and TO. Legends Of Tomorrow is destined to be a hit I don't think Reign is in danger. It's doing well on a friday. A 0.3 is essentially The CW's version of a 1.1/1.2 that the likes of Grimm, Hawaii and Blue Bloods earn. Plus I think The CW may give this a short final season anyway. |

And this is precisely the reason I prefer watching sub-titled foreign dramas these days. You have to sit and pay attention. When I watch an English language programme it is generally with a tablet somewhere within reach and it is too easy to lift it and start "arseing" about

If i ever go on my laptop during a television show, it's normally a sign that I am not enjoying it. Which is what I have done with nearly every single episode this season of Blindspot, Empire and The Walking Dead. They are great background noise at the moment. I am confident two of those shows will improve when they return next for their second half of the seasons next year. The other I dropped all together.

Sky 1 seems to be becoming home to DC inspired shows. The Flash, Arrow, Supergirl and now this one. I bet they are sorry they missed out on Gotham. |

I'm glad they never got their hands on Gotham. Let other channels get their hands on some decent shows instead of them all going to Sky!

It's just a shame that Gotham went to Channel Five.

But you'd also be getting a mid season break for months. At least when it comes on it will be shown without that.

Just a general comment about these winter breaks.
Yes we can moan about waiting months for our favourite US show to get to the UK, but with the winter break in the US some shows can end up not being that far behind by the time they get to the UK. My own favourite by the time it restarts the UK will only be 4 weeks behind and the new season hasn't even started in the UK yet. 70 day hiatus this season having only shown 8 episodes of a 23 show run. |

Breaks do not bother me with shows. Some shows need breaks off the air to catch up in production. Plus I've been following US pace television for so long, it's second nature.

I'm liking the trend towards one long break in a shows run, rather than the way it used to be with a new episode or two, then a break, then a few more, then a break.

In the US Agents of SHIELD did have an obscenely long hiatus last winter to accommodate Agent Carter. Channel 4 had to leave a gap.
