Been looking forward to this every since a co-worker told me about it last year and I watched the first 4 episodes.

'V' ranks as my 6th favorite show following Fringe, Chuck, Blue Mountain State, King of the Hill and Burn Notice in that order. If Vs ratings collapse and it gets cancelled I will cry, since my former #2 favorite show Heroes collapsed and will redoubtably be cancelled, more than likely Chuck will aswell and KoTH is already cancelled. Leaving Fringe, House, BMS and Burn Notice as the shows I regularly watch that are sill producing episodes, which is sad.

So:
Save V and Chuck please, and Heroes can be renewed too!

Yeah, I marathoned the last season of Heroes about a month ago and that show blows now. I finally quit after about the 11th episode.

I saw an interview Morena Baccarin did and it said about 14 Million people watched the first episode, so it should be around for a while as long as the writing is good.

ABC has said the ratings in the first 4 episodes will not matter at all towards the renewal or cancellation the next 8 will determine its fate, and I read somewhere it will require atleast around 8.8m-9.2m viewers an episode to off-set the cost/turn a nice enough profit, plus the last episode of the 4 ep run only had 10.9m so it depends how many people return after the haitus. If it gets atleast 9.2m an ep for the rest of the season we will see it return, if not it more than likely will be gone.


Heroes was so ****ing good for season 1, and even though two was a huge downgrade it was the best thing on TV, the beginning of season 3 was a humongous downgrade but still the best thing on TV, but then half-way threw 3 it just became complete ****.

Thanks for the heads up, forgot it was on.

Set it to record.

Hope it gets better as I really did not think the first four episodes were that great other than some eye candy.

I loved the first four episodes, I believe it was the second? that was the best and that one really was better than any other show than Fringe this season. (I dont follow Castle/CSI Miami or any of that stuff)

Yeah, you can just tell that Heroes is struggling for material at this point and it just isn't good. They need to kill off a major character or introduce more interesting characters because Samuel is just not that interesting.

I typically don't watch a show until a full season has already aired and that way I can marathon it. So suffice it to say, once Heroes started blowing chunks, I quit on it and started watching Friday Night Lights Season 1 and it is everything Heroes use to be. And of course, I always have huge stash of Japanese Anime to watch.

Actually, I thought it was extremely well done. When I first heard about it, I didn't think much of it. But a co-worker at the tail end of last year said it was good, I downloaded the 4 episodes and thought it was very good.

As with all good stories, V introduces "situations" that I find intriguing and I really have to find out the conclusion.

Heck, I am probably not even going to watch it tonight. I have it set to record on the DVR and will more than likely watch it in when I come home for lunch break.

No wonder I was confused. I haven't seen a network TV show in years.

Well here goes nothing! Hoping for it to maintain the fantastic quality it had during the original 4 eps

I thought it was pretty good, but I think they are going to have to introduce more interesting characters to get people watch.

They've got the "bad boy" character now, but they needed to introduce more interesting characters if it is going to last.

The main V women is pretty, not halle berry pretty imo, but man that expression and eyes is just so freaky that I don't know if I could stand to be around her very long. Guess that is a credit to her acting ability as she really pulls it off.

Looks like V could get cancelled. I think the network made a mistake by airing 4 episodes and then having them go on hiatus for almost half a year. In the link below, most people are saying the show is just too boring and it needs to make up its mind on what type of show it is going to be. Right now, the only plot i'm interested in is Ryan's baby and how his fiance will respond. Besides that, there is nothing compelling me to continue to watch.

'V' returns to ABC, earns mixed ratings

by Lynette Rice

Categories: TV Biz, TV Ratings, Television

More bad news for the ailing sci-fi genre: The heavily hyped return of V only averaged 7.2 million viewers last night and was bested by a rerun of CBS’ The Good Wife (8.07 million), according to fast national ratings provided by ABC. The return of the serialized drama about an alien species did win its timeslot among the all-important adults 18-49 (2.9 rating/8 share) but that number is sure to drop when Julianna Margulies and Co. comes back with original Good Wife episodes next week. That was V’s lowest 18-49 rating for this season and it only retained 73 percent of its Lost lead-in, though the episode is likely to pick up a million or more viewers when the numbers come in for DVR playback.


Overall, ABC had a respectable showing on Tuesday. Thanks to the reality show powerhouse Dancing with the Stars and Lost, ABC averaged 10.4 million viewers last night — enough to earn second place behind Fox and the Death Star that is American Idol (21.3 million).
V was already facing an uphill battle by returning to the schedule after such a long hiatus. Before its three-month break, the show had lost 35 percent of its audience over just four airings last fall (14.3 million to 9.3 million). FlashForward faced similar difficulties when it returned to the schedule two weeks ago.


ABC did it’s best to tout the return of V, a redux of the 1984 series. The network aired multiple promos for the show during last month’s Oscars and risked the ire of Lost fans last night by running a countdown to the premiere in the corner of the screen. Both V and FlashForward have yet to receive second season pickups.
