Wowwwww I did not know about this one ......just great old times .....

[Bosrudorfer]

Wow downhill since it started lol.

It will be very interesting to see how well it does today. Personally I'm not at all interested in the episode and may take a nap.

BTW so Nemesis was the lowest episode ever!? Along with Progeny taking second!?

[LegendaryU2K]

I still say smallville needs more promotion. I thought with the cw coming, they will do it, but i see the same. I just try to do my job and i hope next season they can promote more.

[bibi_sv___clana4ever]

I guess 8pm on thursday isn't the best spot for smallville.

yea first three season were the best had the best ratings

[cloisinmyheart]

aw thats depressingg..cmon! get your friends to watch smallville everyone

[PhantomZone]

I think that the fact that the first few seasons weren't swamped with mindless reality shows helped the ratings. Also the network was coming off a Dawson's Creek style teen angst drama. All the serialized shows are hurting in the ratings b/c if you miss one, there isn't really a recap. Lost, 24, Heroes are all down. Its dissapointing b/c advertisers see ratings and they take the ads to those shows. I mean the Pussycat Dolls? Maybe they should get a new song instead of a new member...

Also, the Superman mythology was more prominent when Clark was discovering his powers. Its more of a love triangle now with Jonathan Kent gone and the 4 main focal characters.

I have to agree with you on that one. No business can get to the top if you don't advertise what they are selling and in this case it a tv program called Smallville. In my area we hardly seen any ad's what so ever. Bad business choice by the wheels at the CW, they need to get their head out of their A**'s and start pushing the show more. I can not see any of them going any where. Any how my 2cents worth.

Take Care,

Jack

[Chloe>All]

Wait, Lineage had the best rating ever? It wasn't even all that great an episode.

[MackLove]

Well this all explains why I am running out of ppl to txt during the show.. I thought I was just losing friends, but its much worse, we're losing viewers

[boywithbluehanger]

Its funny because a show starring Clark Kent should be advertised a bit more heavily. I never would have guessed that with the direction the show has gone in after season 3 that the ratings would continue to fall so drastically.

Heck Tom Welling should be constantly featured on late night shows and American Express commercials or something!

I'd love to see Tom have an endorsement deal. I'm sure he's had many offers. However, he is intensely private so you won't see him drunkenly clubbing with Paris and Lindsay Lohan. Maybe has a contractual restriction, which doesn't make sense, but he does have the Superman/CK image to protect. In either case, the CW doesn't give enough publicity or advertising to Smallville or it's cast. I'd love to see that change... especially for the finale.

Damn....patterns like that make no one happy...

[beautyfades]

i'm wondering how big the playoffs are affecting the ratings.

I am sure there is always some effect, though its not like this is the first year ever that Smallville has had competition, look at the first post of this thread and look at the April and May dates.

There were playoffs then too.

Its just a case of the CW not doing a very good job of advertising their product, storylines that could be putting off some viewers and lousy access to major markets.

Of course when they go to their sponsores for $$$, all the sponsors see is how many viewers.

[newfamfan]

A lot of factors can cause ratings to drop. Promotion in my opinion is the biggest problem.

But...remember opinion only!....I feel that the rumor of a death of a main character is also a factor. The Chloe fans and Lana fans are fearing their character is going and I know personally a few that don't want to invest in the end of the season to watch their character go out in a non climatic end. The two female characters have too big a following to get rid of either...and some fans just give up after so much heartache and worry...they feel it just isn't worth it to see their character leave after all this time.

EDIT: Is this common knowledge...I hope I am not posting spoilerish information..Please delete if so.
