SV finale viewed number

[quiet_tiger]

Yahoo had a little slideshow on shows that aren't coming back next season.

Smallville's is here.

Nice Season 8 promo pic, right? *rolls eyes* They really couldn't find one that didn't have two characters that died two years ago? Or just use one from the first season?

But apparently the finale got 3 million viewers, and that was a viewing high compared to earlier episodes in the season.

Which is interesting considering network shows canceled stuff because they only had 5 million viewers.

And lovely grammatical error there, too. Come on, Yahoo. Try a *little* bit.

Wasn't season 8 the last time they did promo shots? I swear, the CW preferring bad photoshop to new pictures, when it comes to Smallville. At least they didn't choose that awful pic where Erica's head is pasted on Kristin's body. :\

I think with the CW, 3 million is high. I mean, One Tree Hill gets half of that and it is getting another season. Weird, huh?

Whatevs, use one from the first season. People tuning in for only the finale aren't going to know who those two strange guys on the left are, or why Lex isn't there.

I didn't see that one. But that is absolutely inexcusable. They really can't use an existing picture? And they have totally different bodies!

3 million is high, I'm sure. It's just weird compared to the larger networks. I mean, why is it *so* different? The CW is a standard cable channel for most regions, right?

I saw a commercial for One Tree Hill the other day and I was shocked it was still on. There's probably always commercials for it during Vampire Diaries and SV but I always fastforward through them. I guess you're one of those 1.5 million who keeps tuning in. :)

True. They could've used the season 6 promos too. At least that is more relevant. Other than Jimmy, all those characters are still around.

I don't know. The CW generally has one type of show and I guess teen dramas are not as popular as they used to be. They got lucky with The Vampire Diaries, because I was really betting that network wouldn't last very long after SV & SPN ended. Gossip Girl alone can't hold it up. Maybe now that Dawn Ostroff is gone, the network will have a chance.

LOL No way. I gave up on that show years ago. My sister was a fan but even she doesn't watch live these days.
