Guys did you know that some of you Canadians have the CW channel that airs BATB at the same time as the US and same day?? Have any of you looked into that??? I don't know if Canadians close to US boarder only have it or all...Something you guys should look at.
OH and Canada ratings have NOTHING to do with it..The ratings aren't combined in the US.

I consider myself a pretty patient person but in all honesty I'm getting very tired of these comments about Showcase & Canada being responsible for the bad ratings! 1. The 4th of 22 episodes hasn't even aired yet. When you see it, you'll agree it's a great one! Maybe it's time to stop the ratings "Gloom & Doom" & just enjoy the show. 2. BatB is not the first show that regularly airs in Canada before the US partner's airing. In fact, a Summer show aired 4-6 episodes in Mexico/S. America long before they aired in the US/Canada. And, the world did not stop spinning!! CW & Showcase obviously agreed to those air days. They must've been told that it would have to be aired here on Sunday. Apparently, CW wasn't as concerned about that as much as you are! 3. If there are problems with BatB US ratings, put the blame where it really belongs!! If CW made any effort to promote or advertise BatB maybe more people would know it existed & watch it! Try asking CW management why BatB is being ignored! 4. Also, it's repeatedly pre-empted, especially in large viewer areas like NY & Chicago. That can't be good for ratings!
I love this show & enjoy this Forum but it's getting to the point that I can't read most threads without being subjected to the constant whining about low ratings & Showcase Canada being at fault! Catch me on a bad day & I'll even consider it insulting! I will now go get a nice Latte & put myself into "my Happy Place" and probably stay off this Forum before it completely ruins my happy glow from last night's episode!
ps: your comment implies that you've already seen "Hothead". If you are in the US, does that mean you will not be watching it tonight on CW? Or, if you are international, why aren't you happy that you were able to see it because of Showcase? Just curious! Hmm??
.... Thanks for taking the time to post exactly, what I was thinking .... it get's boring after a while defending the same constant whining, just easiler to stay off certain threads. Just for the record, Austin Basis took to twitter to defend the Canadians and said, our ratings were fine and it was the USA ratings that needed improving. I guess some people just need someone to blame! I don't think anyone is blaming Canada or Canadians for this situation. I got the impression people are, more than anything, baffled by the decisions that the CW has made in regards to this show. Many things they do, or don't do, are confusing and don't make much sense. There are really only three things that could be happening - 1) there is incompetence in the CW making decisions about BATB, 2) there is willful neglect of BATB by the CW, or 3) there is something else going on that we are unaware of. Which of these is it? I have no idea, and it seems like no one knows the answer to that. Canadians themselves have nothing to do with the CW's decision making, so there is no blame to be given in the first place. Canada is just the location where CW has made another head-scratching decision - one that seems to not have any tangible benefit to the show.

I think the reality is that the rating system is dicey.....so many ways to gather viewership.....the key is advertisers. I just saw a link that had BaTB last in advertising dollars compared to other shows. Why that is, I don't know......but that is established prior to the season. I would imagine that if BaTB does well in Live+3 or Live+7 it is because the Monday night slot may be just too competitive and people tune in later. That is why viewing on the CW and other legit outlets is important. I am wondering about the "ratings" in Canada/Showcase? Does anyone know? Does it compare favorably? I am asking because I am wondering if the Sunday night viewing may be a trial run for BaTB should it not get another season in the US, but continue in Canada? I don't know how that works, so I may be just speculating. This would maybe give the show another season and some continuing international viewership? I really think the quality of the show has improved but the advertisers will be the ones that look at all avenues of viewership. So we still need to keep the word out on viewing on Legit sites and I guess "Tweeting", since Twitter is a media machine indicator. I know where you read that from lol. Sadly I read it too If you ask me, I blame Mondays, Sleepy Hollow and Monday Night football but I can't keep blaming them all the time because that will not save the show. Since I'm not in the U.S I can't help as much as I want, but I can help with things that are in my reach Twitter, promotion online, anything. This is why I created this forum. Which goes back to this question: I agree with what u say here completely. Now regarding your last sentence, that sounds very exciting!!! I assume we will not find out until tomorrow?? Yes, Anapi...tomorrow because tomorrow is a special day

Depending on what Cable package or Satelite TV you have, which stations you get. My sister [3 hrs drive from me] has stations I don't. That's why I planned a visit to coincide with the BatB Premier. I watched Showcase on Sunday & CW on Monday! Plus, the Best Brother-in-Law in the Whole World PVR-ed it for me so I could watch it over & over. Gonna do the same thing Nov 10 & 11. How great is that!!!
Years ago, the cable I had broadcast a Chicago station!
