Only problem was I have neighbors now and I am not used to that yet, and I might have been a little too loud.... and I watched it at like 12:30 am.

Oh well, no one has knocked on the door, yet.

Um... February Sweeps. They want us all hovering over our televisions during those... but yeah, definitely a squeal worthy episode.

[klingonlady]

Is it time for sweeps again already? Because didn't we do that in November?? and then are gonna do it again like April or something? There is one now too?? I can't even keep up anymore!

[merzibelle]

Yup - it's coming up on that time again.

There's three sweeps 'weeks' which sometimes seem like months. The 'fall sweeps' are in November. That's where a lot of new shows just picked up are axed because of low numbers and subsequently dropped in December. The February sweeps are usually called 'mid-season sweeps' as that's the place where the established shows numbers are often checked to give time for new fans to catch up on previous episodes and stay if they are planning to. The April sweeps are the big on for the replacement shows which took the place of the ones axed due to fall. They are also the second and final numbers for the long term shows. A show which runs through all three can usually see the numbers averaged to help determine if they're going to be picked up for another season.

It's really complicated but that's how it works in a nutshell.

[klingonlady]

Geez.. Thanks for cluing me in though! It does make sense, doesn't mean I like not having new shows on every week, but it makes sense. :)

[merzibelle]

No problem. It's one of those arcane entertainment industry things which makes no sense to the average person. I got lucky and knew someone who explained it to me.

[klingonlady]

In an ideal world - well mine anyway, they would run the show like 40 weeks then have 12 weeks off... maybe one break in the winter for holidays, then some time off in the summer. Make those lovely actors work like the average joe.. BUT that is just me in my little world.. Actors are special and needed all over for different movies and shows, so they do work a lot, I just would like my own needs satisfied.. LOL

*iz feeling selfish today* hahaha!

I'm totally working on catching up with NCIS. I'm about five eps from the end of season eight. I'll totally be caught up soon. Swear.

[klingonlady]

Which is exactly WHY I didn't write what ziva did!! :D So you can see!

[aryas_zehral]

You are awesome. :-)

[klingonlady]

:D Thanks. Takes one to know one!

[aryas_zehral]

Omg I just saw an ad for s9 of.ncis. its coming to UK screens starting on friday! I can totally be caught up that far by then.

[klingonlady]

OH YAY!!! Let me know when you are all caught up!

[proseac]

I'm actually quite pleased about the delay, because it means I'll be all caught up with my drabbles before the next episode airs! *bounces*

That WAS an awesome moment, wasn't it? And long overdue...;)

HIATUS AGAIN ???? :(
I still need to watch last night's ep but I don't want more hiatus !

[klingonlady]

*loud heavy sigh* Yes. AGAIN. I don't like not having my pretty people on my TV every week!! Didn't we just have weeks off!!?

[tiah15.livejournal.com]

YES, WE DID !!! TOO LONG WEEKS !

[monkeyprincess7.livejournal.com]

I was chanting last night "ZIVA! ZIVA! ZIVA!" mom didn't understand until I gleefully told her what was going on.

Yeah, both those episodes made me squeal in delight, damn hiatus!
