There is a movement on TWitter to try and get the show trending with this: #WeLoveSleepyHollow Someone else on Twitter claims if the show goes below 5 million viewers, it could mean trouble getting a third season. Not sure how accurate that is though.
I didn't realize the ratings had dropped so much. I wonder if Fox is regretting bumping the episode order by 5 (I still think they shouldhave kept the short season.) That said, the season has been great--I wonder why the drop. Is Gotham -- which people seem to quickly be losing interest with, a bad lead-in? The ratings are still strong considering, as others have mentioned, Fox is not having a good era with scripted shows (and Red Band Society as well as the disaster that is Utopia are doing significantly lower, so...) so I'm sure it's safe, but...
Ratings have been dropping for a lot of genre shows lately, although most get a significant bump when Live +3/ Live +7 numbers factor in. But with the exception of the Arrow/Flash universe, a lot of genre shows are generating high fan noise but less in the way of ratings (take Supernatural or Agents of SHIELD as examples). I think Sleepy Hollow is safe, though, because it is on Fox, a network that lacks any shows with real buzz these days. Glee is almost over and long past its glory days; American Idol is a joke; Gotham has promise but needs to strengthen up fast or else it'll end up this season's SHIELD. Sleepy Hollow gets consistently good reviews, has a strong fan base, and has genre pedigree thanks to its creative team.
I have tried watching GOTHAM but I find myself just kind of bored. And it has a great cast. Maybe I am not familiar enough with the super hero story lines to enjoy this as a prequel to them.
But SLEEPY HOLLOW seems to have just the right balance of story lines, and the historical characters are beautifully portrayed.
Tom-Mison.com has scans of an Entertainment Weekly interview they did with Tom recently. It's a very interesting article, and includes info that he and his wife will be living in NY. Here's hoping someone gets him on a Broadway stage sooner rather than later!!!! Entertainment Weekly October 17 issue
Loved last night's episode. Crane's ability to drive "a motorized vehicle" gives him more independence now. Next week's Halloween episode looks creepy. I'll be watching that one during daylight hours.
One complaint: when are they going to remove the Spanish moss from the trees in this supposedly northern town? I realize the series is filmed in North Carolina, but every time I see moss hanging from the trees (usually around a house), I loss the fiction of Sleepy Hollow, NY. Would it be that hard and/or damaging to either pull off the moss or shoot around it?
^People who complain about the kind of moss on the houses and trees and not the fact that a man with no head is riding around on a horse are just nitpicking.
Loved last night's episode - had a mini geek-out over the fact that Hawley referred to Ichabod as 'Pride and Prejudice' as Tom Mison's my favourite Bingley.
Does anyone know if next week's preview is online at all? The uploads of Sleepy Hollow I watch never include them.
Bwayto - the headless horseman is a given in the narrative. Inaccurate geographical environments are not. It's like seeing palm trees in the background of a scene supposedly set in Boston. That's why you have continuity supervisors. I didn't say it was a big deal. I just said it bothers me when it happens. Meh.
Hanschens - It's on Youtube. Type in Promo: Sleepy Hollow "The Weeping Lady". For some reason, the shortcut link isn't working here.
