This was a ridiculously active month with loads of renewal and cancellations and a couple of final season announcements as well. November may slow down a little but the last bit of the fall decisions and most renewals with January returns will likely be decided next month.

This week brought along a ton of shows with pretty disappointing ratings and these shows aren't even the worst I've seen this week.

This is pretty much a cable dominated post this week and there are quite a few shows on here that I've either passed over with the rush of premieres or haven't been posting remarkable performances over the last month.

I'm not really trying to frame this as an official post or anything. It is just a bunch of random notes for the week and it happens to be Friday so why not call it a Five for Friday post like old times.

1. I have no control over Bourgy being down. It doesn't seem like it but I don't own the site or have full administrative control over it nor do I honestly want that. It's not my site and I want to keep it that way. I just post there because I'm a very loyal friend. The person in charge is aware of the issue and I'm just going to have to be patient with that.

2. I am choosing to hold on to the Bad Girls Club: Redemption recap until the site comes back online. If it is not up by Tuesday I will just post those ratings and recaps here until it does come back up and link everything I've posted here (I'm still going to continue to post the 10 ratings blurbs here regardless of what happens).

3. I still want to change/update the site design here. I don't know when or what I'm going for exactly but I want to change it because I can't stand looking at this layout anymore and I'm much more proficient in html and header design than I was when I started this blog.

4. Random I know but I haven't seen I Heart Nick Carter ratings since the first episode. I'm sure the ratings are very low but apparently they are so low behind Couples Therapy that the other sources I check that post lower rated show numbers aren't aware that they aren't reruns. If I had to guess the show probably isn't getting renewed but stranger things have happened this year.

5. I've been wavering on revealing this for some time but I might as well do it here and now. That MINDS of L. Daniels site is actually my site too (In case you're wondering, Lynn Daniels is a pen name). Yes the reason for my skeleton posting schedule is because I'm a full-time author now. I've been working very hard on writing and publishing all of my books on my own and I'm actually about to release a new short story next week so take a visit over there some time. I'll be spending much of the next week on a posting blitz over there as I get prepared to publish my eighth title.

I asked this in the post but I would really like to know where all these people watching The Walking Dead are coming from.

After a premiere week which showed no DOA shows, a few shows are beginning to show the effects of age, scheduling changes and viewer fatigue. Surprisingly it appears that the veterans are looking weaker than the rookies but that still won't be enough to save all of those new shows.
