 Ratings for last episode - Wednesday Oct 25
The ratings from last episode slipped a bit. WAB scored a 4.4 which was only #12 on the night. We really need to pick up these numbers in order to get the show picked up for the rest of the year. A decision on the show's future should be made by late December. I'll keep you posted when I hear anything.

What About the Fish - Wednesday Oct 25
Next episode (October 30th) is called <strong>"What about the Fish"</strong> and looks to be quite good. Brian and Adam try to "help" each other by seeing who can get over Marjorie the fastest. The first person to get a date wins.

Season Premiere Ratings - Thursday Oct 12
The season premiere last week of WAB was pretty mediocre in terms of ratings. Nielsen has reported that the show ended up #11 for the night in both key demographics. But keep in mind ABC hasn't advertised WAB one bit so what do they expect?
Hopefully, like last season, the numbers will grow over time.
In the meantime, hit the forums to talk about the show.

Next Episode (Monday 16th) - Thursday Oct 12
This week's episode (Monday the 16th of October) is called "What About the Wedding". Brian tries to work out his feelings for Marjorie and Adam confronts her about her past. And in a very cool set of sequences we get to see some flashbacks from 2003 when both Men met Marjorie.
Don't miss it.

What About Brian is BACK! - Sunday Sep 17
That is right folks we are only a few weeks away from the series premiere of the surprise hit What About Brian. Although critics bombed on the show thoroughly, the ratings really picked up at the end and so here we are. I have yet to see the premiere (but I should get an advance copy this week).
The premiere is on October 9th at 10PM.
Stay tuned for more details. And the site will be getting a "beef-up" soon. I promise.

What about Brian PICKED UP! - Saturday May 13
This is some seriously shocking news. The show has been renewed for next year! ABC has purchased another 13 episodes of the show for Fall.
Pretty much everybody predicted that the show was going to get the axe, but the ratings rebound during the season finale (3.3 rating among adults 18-49!) really opened ABC's eyes.
Wow. I am quite happy. Congrats to the cast!

Ratings for the Pilot - Thursday Apr 20
I hope everyone enjoyed the pilot episode (if you are reading this then you probably did). Well how did the show stackup in the ratings?
What About Brian's pilot episode brought in 8.4/14 which was #3 on the entire night out of all tv shows airing. This is pretty good. The show held about 70% of the Desperate Housewives lead-in. When Grey's Anatomy debuted behind DH last year it held about 80% (and of course GA is a HUGE hit). So we are on the right track for a pickup, lets hope the ratings hold strong on Mondays.
Next week's episode is moving to the show's regular timeslot "Monday @ 10PM". The episode is called "Moving Day". Things go terribly wrong when Marjorie moves in with Adam, so she calls Brian, which forces them to take stock of their relationship. Meanwhile Brian and Dave await a call from a big client who could bring them a lot of cash. Angelo and Nic consider their fertility options.

NEWS! - Thursday Feb 9
The show is set to debut on April 2 following that night's episode of Desperate Housewives. Obviously a smart move for the network. Using the MASSIVE viewership of DH to jumpstart a new series has worked before (think Grey's Anatomy). So lets hope we see the same outcome now. Although the audience demographics are VERY different from the two shows, but then again that was true for Grey's.

:( Debut Pushed Back Indefinitely - Friday Dec 23
It's official. Crap! The Jan 9th debut has been taken by "The Bachelor". What garbage. That show is horrible. We all know what is going to happen. Why not give Brian a chance? Well ABC will, but not until March most likely. Or if one of their other new shows fails Brian might replace it. Fingers crossed. The fact that ABC is keeping "Wife Swap" is why the show is being pushed back. So you can also blame it on that too.

Still no Official Premiere Date - Friday Dec 23
Hmmm... As usual, midseason represents some serious madness for the networks as they try to tease out the winners. And it looks like What About Brian might be pushed back to March. This is a bummer. I was really hoping for a January debut. Sources at the network
say we may still get that date yet. So stay tuned.

J.J. Abrams is the Man - Friday Dec 23
As many of you know, the show was created by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias, etc). He is an amazing writer/producer/director. This is why the show looks so promising. Abrams is currently working on the final touches of his first feature film,
Mission Impossible 3 which is due out later this year. He is juggling a lot of projects, but he promises that quality will NOT suffer with some of his newer shows like WAB.

About me
I'm 26 and live in San Francisco, CA. I am a consultant for a small venture capital firm. My job is challenging but I love it. I've been a Barry Watson since his early days on 7th Heaven. That is the reason I put together this site. I also put it together because web design is a hobby of mine. |
