Ratings Are In 11/30/15: FOX Reruns are just depressing
I hope next year FOX can be a bit more consistent with its scheduling. Granted, the NFC Playoffs won’t help much, but I’m sick of rerun weekends. Variety’s got this week’s numbers and they couldn’t be more accurate on how they described FOX as ‘punting’ this weekend, opting instead for the other networks to annihilate them in the numbers:
FOX gave us encores of “The Simpsons” (1.0/3 in 18-49, 2.3 million viewers overall), “Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas Special” (0.9/2 in 18-49, 2.2 million viewers overall), “Family Guy” (0.8/2 in 18-49, 2.1 million viewers overall).
That Family Guy number should be embarrassing. The fucking show couldn’t even beat Ice Age in any of the numbers. Fortunately, this weekend we get new episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy, so that should help.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
