How many more viewers would it take to raise BATB ratings from 0.3?

^ Eeekk.. On the bright side, at least the 2nd epi had a higher rating... I'm a little worried that 'The push' may affect viewings though :/ There seems to be quite the debate there! I have mixed feelings about it but I can't see myself tune out of batb! It's annoying that the CW don't promote BATB as well as other shows. Is it because it's a 'remake'? They don't think very highly of it because they see 'The 80s version' as the original and 'the best'? I mean it's obviously different to that version :/ It sounds silly but maybe in their twisted mind ? CW is worried about their reputation and think that there are some people (narrow minded.) who don't understand why CW would air a 'remake'? I honestly can't think why but I have a feeling it's not just 'by accident' because it's like always! that mixed feelings and the talk about last scene so much may bring more viewers to batb. really hope so... a publicity "gimmick" maybe? or bad news is better than no news? it could either turn 180 or 360

Just wondered the reasoning behind the CW letting Showcase air BATB before its own network Does this happen for any other shows Surely they must know that people will be downloading it from torrent sites and that it would be all over the internet. Does anyone have a clue? conspiracy theory??

me too! I began watching it through tunnelbear, and it worked ok, but today I had problems to connect, so decided to install Firefox (I have Chrome) and Anonimox, and apparently, installation was ok, with this new US IP I can see the images of the ep (wich I couldn't with mine) but when I press play I have the same problem, I see nothing but a black screen. I thought it might have something to do with my laptop, it's been giving me some problems lately, so I uninstalled and reinstalled it , but the problem continues...I'm going through all the internet trying to find other ways to change the IP For international Beasties, here's a wonderful guide: batbcw.tumblr.com/post/64212497676/international-beasties-help-batb-watch-episodes-forI think the 2nd option (Hola Unblocker) works fine everywhere thank you Laura! I'm downloading it right now, fingers crossed!

They don't think very highly of it because they see 'The 80s version' as the original and 'the best'? Ha, I'm pretty sure that's not the reason. Like I said in an earlier post, I think it's because the new BATB promos don't compare to the other CW shows. They're not intriguing enough. Rewatch the S1 trailer and compare to the S2 one. I wasn’t impressed when I saw the new one. It was too geared to loyal vincat fans if I wasn't already a fan of the show, I wouldn’t have been interested to tune in when I saw that promo. They also want to promote their new shows in hopes they get higher ratings than the 0.5/0.6 BATB was getting last year. Which sadly means our show will be cancelled if they succeed... My guess is money! Which makes me wonder if BATB is doing really well in Canada. And I remember reading on this board about having the same thing happen to a daytime soap opera show (not sure which one). Their ratings lowered because of it too...

They probably got the right amount to cover their "loses" from last season since it didn't do that well. And why CW is promoting their new shows more in hopes that they'll have a stronger contender.

I too am miffed that BatB did not get the publicity that other new CW shows have now. Even when we had season one last year - it wasn't much, but more than this year!
Still, we must remain positive. Despite all the "issues" with season one, we managed to roar and get a season two. It can happen everyone - keep positive, get people to watch. And watch on Netflix, the CW website, purchase from iTunes etc.
Cheers!

I don't give up hope But it's frustrating! Oh speaking of which tomorrow there's a special trending event on twitter to get CW and CBS to give BATB more publicity so I will edit this post with that info! Hope all you guys that joined twitter for BATB can help out! It's important and it's a way to be heard!

I'm wondering why BATB didn't get new promotional posters this season? Didn't The Carrie Diaries get new ones and their ratings where on the lower side? Are the HOD promos new?
