- Well, let's face facts here... Quantum leap has been ranked in the
- Nielsons below 70 (around 75) for the past few weeks. It's been as low
- as 79th in the week. This is way below last year's average. The time
- shift is probably the factor. ABC Comedys and Rescue 911 are
- DESTROYING Quantum Leap in the ratings. (They are top 30 if I recall)
-
- It is almost impossible to get the energy to make the proposal that QL
- will be back in light of the ratings. You know things are bad when
- Ross Perot gets better ratings than Quantum Leap.
-
- As optimistic as Don or NBC may seem now, I would MUCH rather say at
- this time that QL will probably end this season based on the numbers,
- unless the ratings get back in the 50's at minimum.
-
- Here's one last hope of a new season: Universal is starting their own
- network. If they pick up Quantum Leap and show it Wednesday's at 10,
- it could WIN the timeslot, or at least be more competative, because the
- competition is similar: 48 hours, Law & Order, Civil Wars.
-
- Unless things improve, I would rather be pessamistic than optimistic
- and saying 'Gee, I REALLY thought it would be renewed.' I would rather
- be suprised than feel dumb in light of the current ratings.
