Stop changing the schedule every two weeks!!


I think Go On would have kept its high ratings if they didn't keep changing the schedule around. Its kinda hard to keep up with a show when you don't know when its going to be on because they keep changing the time and day every couple weeks. How many times have they changed it so far? Three times? Four times? It's getting ridiculous.

They changed it once, from Tuesdays to Thursdays. Everything else was just the typical network TV hiatus stuff. The show's over, and it's extremely unlikely it will be coming back, so...problem solved!

Wrong. They changed it from Tuesday to Thursday. Then back to Tuesday then back to Thursday again. That's at least three times that I know of. And I'll wait for an official announcement about the show's fate, thanks. Your random link is outdated by three months and tells me nothing.

According to this link, the show is likely to get another season, I've relied on this site before and there's no reason to distrust it now, and they moved it to Thursdays to coincide with the Thursday night comedy lineup in the hope of getting higher ratings.

Go On's ratings were horrible at the end. Behind The Office it had a 1.1 in the 18-49 demo (following The Office's 1.9 in the 18-49 demo). Anything that gets a 1.0 or below is practically immediately pulled or moved to a burn off slot. The only time Go On has ever been truly successful is when it's been led in by The Voice. Whoever is making the predictions at that site is very very wrong in regards to this show "likely" getting a second season. It has about a 1 percent chance of another season. It has no viewers, and most shows don't add viewers from season 1 to season 2 (many drop), and NBC has 16 comedy Pilots on its slate (so there's no compelling reason to keep it unless every comedy Pilot is a disaster).

In my opinion, the ONLY way it would come back is if they decided to give it The Voice lead in for its entire run, forever, similar to what ABC does with Body of Proof and Dancing with the Stars. I can't see NBC doing that with such an apparently strong Pilot slate. Even though I mostly enjoy the show, it's not worth it, and the way it ended very much seemed like it was over.

I hope you're right.

A new show needs consistency to establish itself among audiences. You can't reschedule a new TV show just as it is taking off in the ratings. That's a good way to kill it. Many people just think it was cancelled or something and they don't watch it anymore, and you lose a big chunk of your audience. Even rescheduling once is enough to hurt the ratings of any new series but here they did it multiple times. Pretty stupid.

Yeah NBC aren't exactly good with scheduling, just look at Community, one year its on hiatus with a time change after the nest its delayed by three months.

Show me when (any Thursday dates will do, and the Olympics don't count as that was pre-season), and I'll believe you, but right now I don't believe you.

Now I know that is a lot of Tuesdays, but honestly, when I watched it was never on a Tuesday. It went from Tuesdays to Thursdays and if I recall correctly it was always a Monday when I watched, but then I am in Canada so who knows. In the end it was the first program that I bought on iTunes because I was so sick of not being able to find it on the schedule. I had my PVR set for Tuesdays, but it never seemed to record and it was frustrating as hell!

I think you are both right.
