Title: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on September 20, 2010, 06:31:24 PM What is the Event? ???
Anyone watch it? Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: Aske on September 20, 2010, 06:37:05 PM not watching Flash Forward v2.0
:sad3: Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on September 20, 2010, 06:59:10 PM not watching Flash Forward v2.0 :sad3: Yeah, looks like it has a big budget, so the axe could fall quickly. I'm DVR'ing it, will probably watch. Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: twoiron on September 22, 2010, 07:49:27 PM Saw an ad for this last night???
Hmm... looks like a cross between "Lost", "Flash Forward", and "The Big Bang Theory"... ??? Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on September 23, 2010, 04:50:19 PM Monday Ratings: 'Event,' Hawaii Five-0' Soar, 'Lone Star' Plummets http://www.buddytv.com/articles/lonestar/monday-ratings-event-hawaii-fi-38122.aspx Quote Here are the quick ratings by network: ABC Dancing with the Stars (8pm): 21 million Castle (10pm): 11.2 million CBS How I Met Your Mother (8pm): 8.8 million Rules of Engagement (8:30pm): 8.3 million Two and a Half Men (9pm): 14.5 million Mike and Molly (9:30pm): 12.2 million Hawaii Five-0 (10pm): 13.8 million NBC Chuck (8pm): 6.1 million The Event (9pm): 11.2 million Chase (10pm): 7.9 million FOX House (8pm): 10.5 million Lone Star (9pm): 4.1 million If you were one of those people worried about dedicating yourself to a new mystery because you thought NBC would cancel it right away, your fears can go away. With huge ratings for the premiere of The Event, it's unlikely the show will be going anywhere anytime soon, so catch on while you still can. lol. [raises hand] So Lonestar premiered with terrible ratings, and the show's creator wrote a blog post about it that sounds almost strohdawgian. You're Invited To Our Stunning Upset http://thelettereleven.blogspot.com/2010/09/youre-invited-to-our-stunning-upset.html Quote Do you like to root for the underdog? Because I've got an underdog of epic proportions for you. We're talking long, long shot. Like a legless horse in the Kentucky Derby. A blind basketball team facing the 95 Bulls. If somehow Rudy and Rocky had a baby it still wouldn't be as big an underdog as our little show... Lone Star. You may have heard about last Monday night when several heavily sequined, dancing celebrity, conspiracy laden, bowling shirted nuclear bombs landed directly on our heads. When everyone who watched your show is a paid critic or someone you went to high school with, that's less of a premiere than a slideshow. ... ... Here's the thing: it really is a good show. Don't take it from me, take if from these guys here and here and lots of other places. Are these all just people in ivory towers with tweed jackets and glasses of scotch who hate America? Possibly! But my Mom also loved it and she LOVES America just like you. ... ... So here's the plan. You go deep. All of you. You and millions of your friends. And Monday night, down by a lot with only seconds on the clock, we'll throw the ball up, an impossibly long arcing pass into a host of defenders who are taller and flashier and stronger and probably more well endowed than all of us, and maybe, just maybe, it's one of those moments where the thing everyone said COULD NOT HAPPEN actually just... does. And you my friend, you could say you were there, you and all your friends, just taking one big Gatorade bath with the millions of people who, like you, decided to say 'F you' to statistics and just settle in for a damn good hour of television. So spread the word. Repost, retweet, re...faceboook or just put on your crazy pants and head down to the freeway exit and shout at cars like I'm going to. Monday night. STUNNING UPSET. Mark it. Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: gleek on September 23, 2010, 08:01:27 PM Wow! NBC ratings are about on par with Fox now. So much for "must see TV".
Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: gleek on September 23, 2010, 08:28:40 PM CBS has a pretty heavyweight line-up for Thursday:
TBBT $h*! My Dad Says CSI The Mentalist Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on September 24, 2010, 02:27:27 PM Saw an ad for this last night??? Hmm... looks like a cross between "Lost", "Flash Forward", and "The Big Bang Theory"... ??? deuce, you, of all people, should check out the Event pilot (or at least the first few minutes). I just finished watching it. Interesting so far. Better than I expected.

Mark it. so the event opened WORSE than Flash Forward. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FlashForward_episodes ? despite much more advertising/hype ? if they give it the 3 month winter break it will die too, no matter how good it may be. Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on September 24, 2010, 05:11:46 PM My hope is that NBC gives The Event a long leash since their hits are rare these days.

Without seeing the episode I used the google machine to find out some info. ;) Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on September 26, 2010, 09:37:51 PM LOL, now I get it. Without seeing the episode I used the google machine to find out some info. ;) ;D Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: Jules on November 08, 2010, 08:30:03 PM Now even I started watching The Event, but they went and changed the timeslot to 10.30pm....now that is way past my bedtime, there is no way I can stay awake. ;D....I need my beauty sleep.
Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: twoiron on November 09, 2010, 01:13:34 PM I didn't realise this was still on here.
I gave up after one and half episodes. As we like to say here - "this has died in the arse!' Title: Re: The Event [SPOILERS] Post by: dystopia on November 09, 2010, 02:08:38 PM I think I'm the only person still watching it. It's been really slow and they're dragging things out. I've been thinking of starting an online campaign to get NBC to cancel it and put it (and us viewers) out of its misery.
