hazza123 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Season 1 had a 27 episode order, however it was reduced by three for the second and third seasons.
Drew Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 There was 27 first season and 24 last season
Kirsty&Kane4eva Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 But why did they cut it down to 24 episode's, i would prefer it to have 27 but that's only cause i love the show so much
hazza123 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Im not sure of the official reasons, but I think its because the ratings dropped. 27 episodes was a very big order for a TV show, as most average 22.
Kirsty&Kane4eva Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 Aw well i guess we should just be happy that its still showing unlike others that were(in my opinion) good shows, not mentioning any names *cough* onetreehill *cough*. I also heard that 10 are not showing Season 8 of Charmed beause of poor ratings. Anyway back on topic does anyone know what kind of ratings The O.C gets(in australia) cause i read somewhere that its one of 10's top rating shows but yeah not sure
hazza123 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 It usually averages between 800,000 and 1,000,000. The only reason TEN keeps it on the air is that it succeeds in all their key demographics.
starrychris Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 It's not one of Ten's top rating shows but it does well in 10's key age demographic. The show has a cult following and is extremly popular among teens so I'm glad they have stuck with it. As for why they cut the second Season down to 24 episodes. The average season of most US TV shows usually only has around 20 episodes. The first season of The OC had 27 because originally when it began in the US it was only going to be a summer show so they created 8 episodes. After the first episode went to air in the US it did well so they immediatly commisioned it for a full season following that making the first Season 27 episodes. Then the second season just went to the length I guess of how long the average season of a drama goes in the US. If that makes sense.
