25/3/07 Ten Axes Smallville!
What all Smallville Fans have been dreading, Smallville has been replaced by none other than Simpsons repeats. After getting a record high number of visitors to Smallville Australia on Friday, obviously there were many disgruntled viewers. Channel 10 were going to play Smallville on fridays up until big brother friday night games started. Unfortunately Smallville has not been rating well recently, and last week it got a record low number of viewers approximently 500,000.
Channel 10 has given Smallville a good run, and has been very patient with the show, It has caught up on 3 seasons in one year, an effort I doubt any other network would put through. The return of the Simpsons gained 150,000 more viewers in the 7.30 Friday timeslot for 10, so chances are its here to stay. Smallville will most likely return in the next off season in December this year, which is a very long wait for Smallville fans.
The main reason Smallville has not been rating well is most probably because many people download the television show, Smallville is the no.1 downloaded television show on the internet, which would explain why people don't watch it on TV.
