Are These the 10 New TV Comedies Most Likely to Succeed?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Yesterday we told you which new dramas were most intriguing users of TVGuide.com's Watchlist, a customizable entertainment guide that lets users make a list of their favorite shows, actors, etc. Today we've got comedies for you.
We're interested in Watchlist because of its predictive powers; the Watchlist community (with more than 1.1 million people signed up, according to TVGuide.com, up from half a million when we first wrote about it) serves as a massive focus group of informed and committed TV viewers. If Watchlisters are excited about a show, that, historically speaking, has typically translated into respectable viewership.
The chart shown here lists the 10 most-added new comedies announced during the upfronts. As TVGuide.com Editor-in-Chief Mickey O'Connor explained yesterday, "Before viewers are able to learn every nuance of every new show, they latch on to the familiar — whether it be an actor, the source material or even the production company. That's what we're seeing at this stage of the game on the list of new fall shows most added to Watchlists."
