Scorpion is at least getting hammocked between two known, if mediocre, quantities and gets a higher HUT hour. Plus, putting it at 9:00 makes it easier to replace if it bombs with Mike & Molly and either The Odd Couple or The McCarthys.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-11403193935915943752014-06-16T19:15:49.006-04:002014-06-16T19:15:49.006-04:00I disagree, I would give it higher.

I would give it at least a B+.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-696161147849815472014-06-16T19:13:23.816-04:002014-06-16T19:13:23.816-04:00I don't buy it because they had options there....I don't buy it because they had options there...<br />They could have kept Mike and Molly and Friends with Better Lives on Mondays or they could have sent LA to 9pm and Scorpion to 10p if they didn't trust Scorpion.

And both of them had a stonger Voice lead in, and especially Smash, less episodes to fall. The Blacklist's January run still would count it as a hit. Seeing as Grey's Anatomy and Heroes are the only Big Hits in Plus during the era of rookie dramas, I'll take this even if the Voice pushed it thereSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-65479160179237884512014-06-16T15:02:40.814-04:002014-06-16T15:02:40.814-04:00I think the writer's strike is the biggest rea...I think the writer's strike is the biggest reason. Any hope of a "sophomore bounce" that helps grow/lock a show's audience in for an extended run was abbreviated. More established shows like Criminal Minds, HIMYM, Grey's Anatomy, etc. already had an audience while WGA-impacted Class of 2007-2008 essentially got a do-over with the 2008-2009 newbies. It meant that the networks' attention for those third-year juniors was minimal at best unless it gave them some prestige (30 Rock, Friday Night Lights).Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-90746419910512933292014-06-16T14:53:28.616-04:002014-06-16T14:53:28.616-04:00While I do think it was a good year for new shows,...While I do think it was a good year for new shows, I do think you make it look better than it actually was. I think there is a lot of "solid" potential going around, but not quite much "hit" potential. Cases in point:<br />- Resurrection and Sleepy Hollow had too short seasons to be properly judged in the same pedigree as the others<br />- The Millers is only here because of TBBT, I cannot seriously take it as a hit show<br />- While The Blacklist is a hit on its own merits, I don't think it would qualify as a big hit without the voice (see: January episodes).<br /><br />Even with these caveats, it was a good year but like you mentioned and I agree, it was mostly on other fronts. The Goldbergs is setting up quite well to long term potential and I think stuff like Agents of Shield, Chicago PD and Mom will also also stick around long term, in addition to the blacklist of course. Also, the cw had a great year!Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-6906493474097392722014-06-16T14:46:16.323-04:002014-06-16T14:46:16.323-04:00Amazing how last year The Following's 125 Plus...Amazing how last year The Following's 125 Plus had to the top spot and this year FIVE shows outrated that.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-30589861017349859462014-06-16T14:43:51.822-04:002014-06-16T14:43:51.822-04:00Any idea why the 2006-07 class is extinct?
