Where do I begin? How about with noting that both shows hit series lows last night. Second it is worth noting what is already stated above, 90210 couldn’t crack 3 million and Privileged couldn’t crack 2 million. It’s time for the CW to do some damage control. Especially considering that 1 year ago their ratings were higher than now, when they are trying to improve on their ratings from last year. Ouch.
It’s a shame too. Privileged was really good. See my post. As for 90210, yeah I was rooting for it in the beginning, but they already ruined their potential fanbase with the horrible 2nd and 3rd episodes. So now they are going to have to start all over again.
