[barb1686]

I was watching Nick at Nite tonight, and across the bottom it said Growing Pains comes to Nick at Nite January 21st!

Isn't this exciting?! :D

[Czas na Zywiec]

I just saw that right now! Odd, cause I never heard anything about it here and this place is usually on top of these types of things months in advance!

Nickelodeon has taken over running Nick@Nite, so right now they are a little secretive and slow with releasing updates. But I will know much more on Monday, but it is indeed coming. Full House is slated to air at 8:30pm Mon-Fri on Nickelodeon starting Jan. 22, so maybe Growing Pains will take its 9-10pm Nick@Nite slot (or air at 9pm, and FH at 9:30). I'll know very soon.

The grids and schedules for Nick@Nite are very poor right now. They are airing movies Tuesdays at 9, but the grids do not indicate this at all, lol. Crocodile Dundee is airing this Tuesday.

Wow, this is great! Very smart move on Nick at Nite's part! Now, if only they'll bring back some other shows from the 80s & 90s that currently are not on any other channels (Perfect Strangers, Just The 10 of Us, etc).

[Scoobiedoo30]

This is Awsome News about Growings Pains coming to Nick@Nite so now Growings Pains will air on both Nick@Nite and The I Network

[TVJunkie101]

This is so awesome and totally unexpected! Coud we dare hope for more?

[An 80s Guy]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I cannot wait!!!

[TVFactFan]

N@N's is starting the Year off the right way. That this will be a new and fresh show to see on N@N

[An 80s Guy]

Nickelodien is doing great.I cannot wait to see what other shows Nick@Nite will aquire this year!

[Brian Damage]

Growing Pains is definitely a step up I think.

[An 80s Guy]

Growing Pains is a definitely a step up I think.
Amen to that!

[Pavan]

N@N's is starting the Year off the right way. That this will be a new and fresh show to see on N@N

It is great that they are adding it. It's not totally fresh, though. i Network airs it Mon-Fri 7-8pm and I bet Nickelodeon saw the good ratings it got and pursued the cable deal for it. i Network is considered broadcast.

[An 80s Guy]

I don't get I so I'll watch it every time on Nick@Nite

[Scoobiedoo30]

Growings Pains will be a edition to Night@Nite Lineup

[Tha Kid eX]

ah i never liked this show and now im forced with more crap on N@N i cant sit through..good thing i have alot of shows on DVD to watch at night when nothing worth while is on (basicly 80% of the current N@N lineup is trash)

'Show Me That Smile Again...'

Nick at Nite Launches Hit Family Comedy Growing Pains Beginning Sunday, January 21

NEW YORK, Jan. 8 -- Nick at Nite will add the popular family comedy Growing Pains to its sitcom line-up beginning Sunday, January 21 at 9:00 PM (ET/PT), it was announced today by Tom Ascheim, Executive Vice President, General Manager, Nickelodeon Television. The series, which ran for seven seasons, was an immediate hit with viewers and launched the careers of teen heartthrobs Kirk Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio. The 30-minute series kicks off with an all-night, nine-episode marathon on Sunday from 9:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. which will repeat from 1:30 until 6:00 a.m. Beginning Monday, January 22, the network will air an hour of Growing Pains with two back-to- back episodes every Monday through Thursday from 9:00 - 10:00 p.m. Growing Pains will also air Friday and Saturday at 10:30 p.m. and Sundays at 9:30 p.m. (*All times (ET/PT).

"Kids grew up watching Growing Pains in primetime and now, we are really excited for them to start enjoying it again with their own kids on Nick At Nite," said Ascheim. "The classic family comedy features a talented and witty cast and is a favorite that everyone can watch together."

Growing Pains aired from 1985 to 1992 on ABC and revolves around The Seaver family in Long Island, NY. Jason (Alan Thicke) is a psychiatrist married to Maggie (Joanna Kerns), a former newspaper reporter, and the two head up a family of three kids. Mike (Kirk Cameron) is a bit of a slacker and is constantly up to shenanigans; Carol (Tracey Gold) is the brainy middle child and Ben (Jeremy Miller) is the youngest Seaver who idolizes his older brother, Mike. Maggie's desire to go back to work prompts Jason to move his practice back home, allowing him to watch the kids. Most of the stories revolve around standard family issues such as bad grades, dating and missed curfews, though over time the series did address serious topics like drunk driving, teen suicide and peer pressure. In 1988, Maggie gave birth to a daughter, Chrissy (Ashley Johnson), and the family also took in a homeless teenager -- Luke (a young Leonardo DiCaprio). As the series progressed, Mike found himself taking on more responsibility as a teacher and eventually fell in love, Carol began her studies at Columbia University and Ben began to turn into another version of Mike. Much of the series' success can be attributed to Kirk Cameron's status as a teen heartthrob, gracing the covers of various magazines in the late 1980s.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I know I will be watch The Growins Pains Marathron from 12:30 am until as long I can stay up till

[spunkygirl]

Woohoo this is great! :D

I bet it won't take long before they move it to 4 am :rolleyes:

[Scoobiedoo30]

I was doing and still doing Cart wheels over Growings Pains coming to Nick@Nite

[Better Days]

This is my favorite show, but I don't think it's TOO exiting unless you don't get the "i" network..... or if N@N has better quality(does it?)

It's good to see GP doing so well on TV. So why not more DVD's?

[Scoobiedoo30]

I bet Growings Pains in The #1 Show on The I Network

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

WOOT WOOT!!! I'm sooooooooooooooooo excited!! I've been watching the few episodes on AOL Video but it's just never enough... i'm SOOOO excited!!! This will be the first time in like 5 years that i will actually have somethign on NaN to look forward too... i'm so recording as many eps as i can since i dont think that any further dvd's will be released!

[SBTB Geek]

I'm excited about this, but...

I hate it when a sitcom goes into obscurity for several years and then some random network (in this case AOL.com) decides to resurrect it and then everyone else follows suit.

AOL TV
i Network
and now... Nick @ Nite


How about giving some other show a chance?

[Br26]

I'm excited, I hope this show finally gets rid of the N@N curse where every show gets pulled or thrown into the 4:00 time slot.

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

I'm excited, I hope this show finally gets rid of the N@N curse where every show gets pulled or thrown into the 4:00 time slot.

or is on for like 2 months and then disappears from the network in whole but is still randomly mentioned all over the website, haha!

[Scoobiedoo30]

is Nick@Nite foing to re-air The 2 airing of Growings Pains

[ILuvZackMorris]

I hope they air the show IN ORDER and don't skip around episodes because of content OR because its a holiday episode. Nick @ Nite has a very bad habit of doing that.

[PrettyinPink55]

WOW!!! That's wonderful news!!!!

[Scoobiedoo30]

I have been waiting Along Time For Growings Pains to come to Nick@Nite

[An 80s Guy]

I have been waiting Along Time For Growings Pains to come to Nick@Nite
So Have I

[Scoobiedoo30]

we only have 11 day's till Growings Pains comes to Nick@Nite

[An 80s Guy]

Do we have a schedule?Hopefully the maathon launch won't be all season 1 episodes because I have all of those on DVD.

[Mrgman]

A couple of months ago I was hoping for growing pains to be on 1 network now its on 2

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

i too hope not much of season 1 is played on the marathon... but i fully intend to try and record these episodes on NaN becuase who knows if any other seasons will be released....

[McFly121]

In an unprecedented move of cheating viewers, N@N has canceled Growing Pains before it has even started!!!! Usually they give a new show a week, then stick it at 4am, then shelve it. But another board announced that it's been bumped for....yay!, more Roseanne/Full House garbage.

Can't wait for the day when all these shows are on dvd, we won't have to rely on Nick or TvLand, and their ratings will head into the gutter.

You have got to be kidding....

[Pavan]

It is not "canceled." It is more delayed. News soon.

[Scoobiedoo30]

man Growings Pains inb Delayed

[An 80s Guy]

Hopefully it'll launch before January is over.I was really looking forward to the Launch on January 21.Why does Nick@Nite have to do this what's the point of postponing it to air a Roseanne Marathon?

[Scoobiedoo30]

why are they Delaying Growings Pains

[McFly121]

Delayed, pre-empted, canceled, post-poned....it's all the same in terms of the launch.

Nick sux.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I sure hope that Growings Pains is on Feburary Schedule

[tazz765]

By the time N@N gets around to showing Growing Pains "i" will have shown all the episodes and I won't even need to tune in.

[An 80s Guy]

Hopefully Pavan will have info about when they're postponing the launch to.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I sure hope Pavan has some info about why rowings Pains is Postponing Growings Pains until then we can always watch Growings on The I Network weeknight's at 6:00 pm and 6:30 pm Central Time

[An 80s Guy]

I wish I had the I network.

[Pavan]

Growing Pains is indeed delayed and will be premiering now on Nick at Nite on February 12. Details to follow on the blog later today or tomorrow.

[Scoobiedoo30]

Your City does not get The I Network The only thing I can think of Telling you is get Directv

[freshprinceofLA]

Dang now we gotta wait longer now that the N@N premire is delayed. WE have to wait for season 2 to come out on dvd now this!:mad:

[FOLrocks1]

I've very excited about this. It's been forever since I've seen Growing Pains. I think the last time I watched it was over 5 years ago on The Disney Channel. I'll be tuning in.

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

man... nick at nite always knows how to disappoint me don't they! those jerks! i"m sooooooooo pissed... i mean how the heck do they think they can get away with that? grrr... jerks... oh well, if feb 12th is their next anticipation... then i will look forward to this... at least they better!!

[ILuvZackMorris]

Why does NICK@NITE think they need to air Roseanne a million times a day? That show does NOT belong on Nick@Nite. Maybe once all the seasons are on DVD, it'll be off syndication FOREVER.

And Fresh Prince....they do marathons a little too often.


They should really not be delaying GROWING PAINS. The "I" Network only airs Growing Pains M-F. At least Nick was going to air it 6 or 7 days a week.

I don't want to wait until February 12th.

[Pavan]

I think waiting for Feb. 12 is worth the wait, because instead of a one night marathon they were going to air tonight, the marathon will be 7 nights and all-night! Details soon.

[swedeace]

Growing Pains is indeed delayed and will be premiering now on Nick at Nite on February 12. Details to follow on the blog later today or tomorrow.
Okay. Thanks. I was wondering what happened because I saw no promo commercial nor heard anything about GP. I will keep an eye out for the blog and for the airings on the 12th of February.

[Pavan]

[Better Days]

Should we ignore trolls? Or just ones that would pay for Saved by the bell Seasons 1-5?
I think negative posts with no substance should be deleted.

I'm looking forward to seeing how N@N "welcomes the Seavers". I haven't seen the promos for it since I don't watch N@N(I watched the original run of Rosanne......that was enough.)

[An 80s Guy]

That poster was not talking swats at Roseanne.All That poster said was that roseanne does not belong on Nick@Nite.Why are you on this board if you think the show is crappy?You're the only one who was taking swats.

[Better Days]

Did you see the ep with the toy dinosours?
You not liking GP is personal taste. But plenty of people do like it.
growing pains is shown on hard to find channels and local syndicationMaybe you're not aware GP spent years at Disney ch and Family ch.
Did some GP fan put down a show you like, and so you're doing it?
I don't think GP is taking anything off the schedule, is it?

[An 80s Guy]

well to me saying it doesn't belong is the same thing, i say GP doesn't belong and nick at nite will figure that out when the ratings come in for this crapfest.
Why would the ratings be bad.It's one of the I Network's highest rated shows I belive.

[GrowingPainsVault]

@ JMAN

Well how do you think this makes up GP fans feel?

I don't even know why you come on here when all you do is put down the show we love. I think Rosanne is a great show too and I'd never bash it... But you're bashing the show we love here.... Wow... ;)

[Jman4200]

Ok I'm here to apologize for my comments about GP, for the sake of the fans of GP i hope your show does well on N@N, i know what it feels like to not be able to watch a show and i know how you felt when N@N delayed the marathon, i deleted all my posts I made and Just want to move on from the negativity i caused, i will not make a negative comment about your show again nor will i visit your board again and cause trouble.

Sincerely Jman4200

I have already started the Cout down 11 more day's till Frowings Pains comes to Nick@Nite

[JuicyCoutureGirl]

Or just ones that would pay for Saved by the bell Seasons 1-5?


:confused:

I guess you should ignore me since I paid for seasons 1-5 of Saved by the Bell. No need to take a cheap shot at SBTB fans.

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

i also have seasons 1-5 of sbtb.... i have lots of series that others i'm sure could rip on me for :)

[Buffyboy323]

Anyone else feel like N@N is gonna screw us all, and throw Growing Pains into the 3 or 4a, slot, after a few weeks? :(

[friendsfan77]

BUDDING HEARTTHROBS LEONARDO DICAPRIO, BRAD PITT AND KIRK CAMERON IGNITE NICK AT NITE’S GROWING PAINS VALENTINE’S MARATHON FEBRUARY 14 FROM 9PM-6AM


NEW YORK, February 9, 2007 -- Nick at Nite invites viewers to spend Valentine’s night with Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Kirk Cameron, as the budding heartthrobs ignite romance in a Growing Pains marathon featuring nine love-themed episodes, Wednesday, February 14 from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., repeating 1:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. (ET/PT).

Stealing hearts and scenes, the young actors, then on the threshold of superstardom, lend appeal to the classic family comedy that helped launch their careers. As the oldest kid in his TV family, series star Cameron emerged as a teen idol while his charming Mike Seaver character likewise left girls breathless. DiCaprio quickly captivated audiences at 16, when he joined the show as Luke Brower, the homeless waif taken in by the Seavers (1991-92). And a very young Brad Pitt turned heads in two late-eighties episodes when he guest-starred as a self-centered rock star and as a dreamy student who catches Carol Seaver’s (Tracey Gold) eye.

Following are details of the Nick at Nite’s Valentine’s marathon (All times ET/PT):

9 p.m. -- "Long Days Journey into Night" -- Carol is used by her friend to win Mike's affection.

9:30 p.m. -- "The Love Song of M.Aaron Seaver" -- The Seavers depend on Mike for the annual bowling tournament against the Koosman family but are let down when Mike "Romeo" Seaver finds his Juliet.

10 p.m. -- "Some Enchanted Evening" -- As Spring Formal looms, Mike has his hands full with three girls pining for his affections and a date to the dance. Meanwhile, Carol can't seem to get a date even when she asks her boyfriend.

10:30 p.m. – “Feet of Clay” – When Ben's idol, rock star Jonathan Keith (Brad Pitt), gives a concert in New York, Maggie manages to get a backstage pass to meet him.

11 p.m. -- "Menage a Luke"-- Cheryl has a crush on Ben, who's only interested in Sasha. Sasha refuses Ben, who is furious to find that Cheryl's transferred her affection to Luke (Leonardo DiCaprio).

11:30 p.m. – “Who's Zoomin' Who” – The road to romance gets a little rocky for Carol and her boyfriend Bobby when her head is turned by a handsome new student Jeff (Brad Pitt).

12 a.m. -- "Stop, Luke and Listen" -- Mike tries to help one of his students, Luke (Leonardo DiCaprio), who's been living in the school basement, but just ends up getting the kid kicked out. His search for Luke makes him miss dinner with Kate and his parents.

12:30 a.m. – “Great Expectations” -- Without his parents' approval, Mike flies to Los Angeles to surprise his Hawaiian girlfriend, Melia while Carol, Ben and his pal Boner cover for him.

1 a.m. -- "Carol's Crush" -- When the son of a family friend visits, Carol becomes enamored of him and learns the meaning of heartache.

Growing Pains will premiere on Nick at Nite with a week-long marathon of nothing but Growing Pains, every night from Monday, February 12 through Sunday, February 18 (9 p.m. to 6 a.m.) Subsequently episodes will air Sunday through Thursday back-to-back (9-10 p.m. & 12-1 a.m.) and Fridays & Saturdays (10:30 p.m. & 11 p.m; all times ET/PT).

Growing Pains aired from 1985 to 1992 on ABC and revolves around The Seaver family in Long Island, NY. Jason (Alan Thicke) is a psychiatrist married to Maggie (Joanna Kerns), a former newspaper reporter, and the two head up a family of three kids. Mike (Kirk Cameron) is a bit of a slacker and is constantly up to shenanigans; Carol (Tracey Gold) is the brainy middle child and Ben (Jeremy Miller) is the youngest Seaver who idolizes his older brother, Mike. Maggie’s desire to go back to work prompts Jason to move his practice back home, allowing him to watch the kids. Most of the stories revolve around standard family issues such as bad grades, dating and missed curfews, though over time the series did address serious topics like drunk driving, teen suicide and peer pressure. In 1988, Maggie gave birth to a daughter, Chrissy (Ashley Johnson), and in 1991, the family took in a homeless teenager -- Luke (a young Leonardo DiCaprio). As the series progressed, Mike found himself taking on more responsibility as a teacher and eventually fell in love, Carol began her studies at Columbia University and Ben began to turn into another version of Mike. Much of the series’ success can be attributed to Kirk Cameron’s status as a teen heartthrob, gracing the covers of various magazines in the late 1980s.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I cannot flippining wait!!

[freshprinceofLA]

Its coming tomorrow!!! I can't wait! 1 more day!

[Better Days]

Note: There are 2 N@N channels: East + West. I get both. It seem they have the same lineup - with 3 hours difference.

As far as I know, Growing Pains is making history today: 1st time airing on 2 different channels at once, in sindication.

AND tonight, by coinsidence, both N@N and Ion are airing the same episode: Mike's Madonna Story.

[Scoobiedoo30]

I also get both easst and west feeds of TV Land

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

i think the different sets of channels, one is normal nickelodian and the other is nick 2. but anyways... even though i have the first season on dvd, i am still watching the entire marathon, it's quite interesting to see carol this way, i have been watching the 4th seasons through the 7th, and her character really had changed. Anyways, i've had it on all night! can't wait for the episodes to get into the later seasons :)

[Better Days]

So how does the video quality compare to the "I" network's eps of GP?

And how about editing? I saw some 1st season stuff I never remember seeing.

Growing Pains marathon will end two days early, Friday is the last day:

Thanks for the info. Why did Nick-at-Nite decide to end the marathon earlier?

[An 80s Guy]

The fact that they're ending the launch earlier is a bad sign,folks.

[Buffyboy323]

I'm not too mad about them cutting down the marathon.....as long as they air 2 episodes every night!

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

i guess it's not a bad thing that they are cutting it short, i'm just worried that meanst hat the ratings are THAT bad! *sigh* and thankfully as buffyboy stated, we'll have the two eps every night (except for tuesdays when they are a stupid movie... that's the dummest day of the week to air a movie!!!!)

[masterblooregard]

I'm also very worried. If they end up yanking Growing Pains off the air I will never forgive them.

Also any word on the editing for N@N episodes? I tested an Ion episode and the recording didn't even reach 21 minuets once the commercials were edited out. As opposed to the same episode recorded off CTV (Canada) uncut and it was over 24 minutes. I hope N@N airings are at least somewhere in the middle.

That IS dumb! They should air the movies on Fridays or Saturdays. :(

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

once again, great minds think alike ;)

[musicradio77]

I haven't seen "Growing Pains" in a long time. I've seen it on WPIX-TV (Channel 11) back in the early 90's in addition to the reruns like "The Hogan Family", "Charles In Charge", "Full House" and "21 Jump Street". They usually shown on the Disney Channel back in the late 90's when they took it off, but now Nick at Nite is up for grabs. Good move. I will continue to air "Growing Pains" on WPXN-TV (Channel 31) where they were running sitcoms and some drama shows at night instead of those boring infomericals during the day.

[Better Days]

Where can I get descriptions of the episodes airing on N@N. I can't get their website and Directv doesn't have the descriptions.

[ILuvZackMorris]

My digital box w/ Time Warner doesn't tell me what the episode is either. That stinks.

And since when does Nickelodeon air movies outside of summer time? They're doing this on purpose.

Hopefully that helps

[floyd2006]

Yeah its not telling me the episodes titles either. Anyway I havent watched Growing Pains since they were on disney when I wa a kid and dont really remember much of them but since they are on Nick now I can finally watch them.

[Family Ties Forever!]

Why the hell don;t they give a SHOW a chance to gain a fanbase? How the hell can a NEW SHOW gain a fanbase if it's only on ONCE a week?-lol

[McFly121]

See thread "Aha, they screwed us" :). You knew they would.

Thank God for ION Television. 2 Pains a day for the last couple months.

[catnap1972]

What the hell is with their hard-on for Roseanne, Cosby, and FP?

[Jman4200]

What the hell is with their hard-on for Roseanne, Cosby, and FP?

They bring good ratings

[TVFactFan]

I think I understand now what N@N is doing-lol They have 3 HIT shows on their Network and if a NEW SHOW doesn't do as well as FP, RS, or TCS, then i guess their attitude is-"The show doesn't belong on our channel" Can't really get upset with N@N for wanting to maintain a lineup of shows that pulls in good ratings

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

yea, but it takes a bit sometimes for things to work their way up... for crying out loud, that is like the WORST time slot to be in becuase people (unlike me) who watch the normal networks usually dont tune into nick at nite until later in the night like around 9 or 10 (this is central time btw) and see, i've always got club meetings or church jsut finishing or i'm on campus doing homework until 9... so i miss it pretty much every night, i've been taping it, but most of hte episodes i've been taping i have already from fox family... i really REALLY want to hit up the later seasons... ugh, nick at nite is a disappointment ONCE AGAIN!

[freshprinceofLA]

I think N@N has lost their mind. I think we're all getting tired of fresh prince, roseanne and full house. those shows are ok but we're all tired of em!

[tito]

N@N & TVLand both seem to be famous for pulling crap like this. I rarely ever watch the two networks anymore! Same with ABC Family.

I really thought this show would do well, nice Family sitcon in a good slot and couldn't deliver big ratings. Very Surprising

[Buffyboy323]

So what is the OFFICIAL timeslot for the show now? I see that it just says Full House replaces Growing Pains for the whole 10pm hour. Where does that leave the show?

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

no, it just replaces the first hour of the show... so it's at 8:30.... full hour 8, growing pains 8:30

Effective Monday, March 19:

Sun-Thurs
9:30PM Full House (replaces Growing Pains)

Fri-Sat

Growing Pains will still air every night at 1:00AM. And yes, Full House will air 8:30-10PM Mon-Thurs, 10-11PM Fri-Sat, and 9-10PM on Sun.

Wow, oh, wow....Growing Pains is getting the shaft just about every week since its marathon.

I love "Full House" a lot, but I think that it would be fair to have some more airings of "Growing Pains" on Nick-at-Nite. Afterall, most of FH is already on DVD, but only season of GP is on DVD. The show's further DVD releases is on hiatus or something. I dunno, but I would like to see some more Growing Pains as well.

[TVFactFan]

Well That's It for Growing Pains.

[freshprinceofLA]

Damn I hate N@N!

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

are you serious? they gave it the shaft?!?!!? i now hate nick at nite with a passion, they can just never let somethign live can they?!?!?!?!

[ThomasE]

are you serious? they gave it the shaft?!?!!? i now hate nick at nite with a passion, they can just never let somethign live can they?!?!?!?!

And to think that it all started with The Facts Of Life, huh? This shaft does not surprise me at all.:rolleyes:

[Scoobiedoo30]

What started with The Fact's of Life

[FOL85NatandMrsGRock]

the facts of life brought us to the conclusion that nick at nite sucks monkey butt! haha... as soon as they cancelled FOL it seriously all went downhill from there. They had brought DS (diff'rent strokes) on about a month or so before they cancelled FOL and then they cancelled DS becuase all of hte FOL viewers basically boycotted nick at nite for a long while... then three's company got cancelled becuase we were all STILL boycotting it... and well, that's when nick at nite hit a REAL low... so yea, nick at nites sucking with the tv lineup totally started after they cancelled FOL!

[hostedbyrobertstack]

I don't understand why Nick at nite is so worried about ratings, it always seemed like only shows hardcore fans would really watch. I mean, full house is on at every hour of the day, I used to like it, now i skip the channel everytime I see it. Maybe the thing is the people that watch n@n shows like growing pains are (like me) college kids, and as I have learned, nielsen ratings systems don't count college campuses, where a majority of the people are probably watching it. Stupid ratings system, something else needs to happen that can actually tell whos watching.
