It looks like it has stabilized a bit. Maybe we get to see the whole season, then...
I’d feel a little better if the IMDb and/or TV Guide sites had more eps listed. The last time I looked, neither one had more than five….

The numbers are in for Wake Up, and they’re mixed. Overall viewership was down 40K from last week, to 2.59M…still good for the season’s 3rd-highest viewership (or 3rd-lowest, depending on whether you’re a “glass half-full” person, or a “glass half-empty” person).

In the critical 18-49 age group, though, Wake Up hit a season-high .4 (which was double Ep. 2), so somebody’s spreading the word….

In this episode, it sounded like Griff and Sam may stop their infighting. We can only hope. The bickering got old (for me) by ep. 2. :hit

Episode 6 is called Truce, so it's looking good with at least a pause in the fighting.

The truces I most want to see (in order of preference) are:

1. Sam and Griff
2. Griff and Vivian
3. Griff and Asher
4. Vivian and Rhonda (As much as I’ve come to dislike Rhonda, I’d still like to see Vivian take her down a few more peg$.

Watch it while you can, LG’s, because the numbers hit disturbing new lows with Ep. 6:

The GS group on FB has expressed the opinion (desperate hope?) that a “mini-cast-reunion” of One Tree Hill (a show I never watched; Sophia Bush was a cast member) might help the numbers.

Time will tell….

Yeah, HW, 1.95m viewers is an incredibly big drop. It could be due to people not realizing that the show is back on after the Olympics hiatus.

Add to that a Feedback letter in TV Guide's Feb. 28–Mar. 13 issue:

I got halfway through the second episode of CBS's Good Sam and decided I'm out! The dad (played by Jason Isaacs) is a mean-spirited know-it-all who constantly overrides and puts down his doctor daughter (Sophia Bush). If I have an hour, I'd rather watch paint dry!

Yow! Harsh. I hear death knell.

So sad.

It also didn’t help that CBS only used past scenes to “promote” Ep. 6.

I hope not…but I’m very worried.

I worry that shows do not get the breathing space to find their feet. I mentioned before that many classics took awaile to bed in.

I’m trying to hold out hope for this; however, CBS’s lack of proper promotion of upcoming eps is driving me :bang

Have you seen the Good Sam clip of the behind the scenes Jason dancing. I would post it but dont't know what the protocol is. Oh found you have posted it on another thread.

Yes, I found it, and if it ends up being moved, I’ll let you know. ;-)

The dancing clip was posted by Sophia Bush on her Instagram. Jason definitely knew he was being filmed and that it would be posted online. Just use your common senses... Why couldn't we post that here? You don't need to ask permission for everything. :roll:
