Emergence

Agree totally with you, nothing official yet, so... my hope isn't dead yet.

If it's officially cancelled by ABC, I would agree with you and hope to have it continued in another platform, such as Netflix.

I still remember when old Cagney and Lacey show was cancelled, fans would write letters to the network and the network had to bring it back to life, actually twice.

So, in a nutshell, it is not officially dead, and if that is so, then it is still alive, this is not Schroedinger's cat who is both alive and dead at the same time.

Piper is still alive and kicking.
Well, we at least have the rest of this years episodes to come ... before the Christmas break and I would hope once everyone comes back from the Yew Year break.
 
If you look at those ratings, at least those are current as of today ...
You can't compare to last year, so that portion is useless on this particular situation ...

However, if you look at the number of viewer only, that would move them into the 8th spot out of 17 shows listed.
That looks better.

Also, what about the people that don't fall into the 18-49 group ... the rest don't matter ?

When I look at that list of ABC shows, there only 1 other show on that list that I will watch, thats Stumptown, which I have recorded, but haven't started watching ...

Is it worth it ?
If not, I'll just drop it.

The list to the right on that same sight, shows I would guess the Top 20 shows from all networks ...
and Emergence (14) IS at least On that list, so its not THAT bad.
 
I now feel torn about watching the rest of the episodes. A part of me feels like I should have known better than to start a high-concept sci-fi show on a major network in the first place. But there's a part of me that is still interested in these characters and wants to learn as much as I can, and hopefully have at least some answers provided.

I've been following the ratings, and they might not be the best but, honestly they're not so bad, and I've seen much worse than those, and with bad shows getting renewed (IMHO especially on CBS).

Anyway, I'm hooked on Piper, and this show, and I hope they run a full season even it that calls for a miracle, but hey isn't this ABC/Disney, the magical world....

Well we'll see what happens. I don't have any dog in this fight because I don't watch it. So I'll just leave it alone and let someone else bring the bad news.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've got 4 programs on my EHD from last year that were canceled and I haven't got to them yet. Trying to watch the programs that have survived. The Blacklist currently.

Correct from an advertiser perspective. 18-49 is the magic sweet spot. It is what almost everyone cares about. There are certain exceptions when companies are trying to find a more targeted audience, but so far TV hasn't found the right way to hit those people. When we move to the next step of truly addressable ads by user (each viewer is going to get different ads that are targeted to them just like you do online today), then other demographics will matter more. Right now they can only report back that certain demographics saw the ads, not that they were directly targeted. For instance, if you are a person that has been to Burger King 1 time in the last 30 days (as reported via your phone's location services to your Comcast ISP) and you see an ad for Burger King on your Comcast cable subscription, then you go to Burger King more than 1 time in the next 30 days, then Burger King pays more for that ad. It is very interesting.

Last night's ratings show an improvement

on the demo (i.e. young people) there was a 34.62% increase

in total viewers a 33.35% increase

so total in demo 0.70 and for total viewers 3.471

I still hope for ABC to order the rest of the season

I would HATE that ... it's bad enough that you get that crap online.
At that point I think I'll quit watching TV or make sure to disable the GPS feature on my phone.

Hate it all you want. It is coming. The first step is already here. As soon as the technology advances enough to do direct targeted delivery it will happen. Interesting though, why would you hate it? If you are watching an ad wouldn't you rather see something that relates to you as opposed to some ad for a medication that only impacts women over 50?

In the 18-49 demo, Emergence did better than NCIS: New Orleans
 

Just how confident are we in the source of this original cancellation announcement? When I google "Emergence Cancelled," all the other articles only speculate about whether it will be cancelled, including this one posted today: https://www.cancelledscifi.com/2019/...-or-cancelled/

If ABC had made an official announcement about its cancellation, I would think the news would be posted by numerous reputable websites that focus on the entertainment and TV industry.
 
Sure in a way it's already here, I'm all day on my PC and on the internet,

And I'm being "watched" on every move, every search I do on the internet and on 99% of the websites I visit (thanks cookies).

And I agree, it works, right now I'm interested in a specific book out of print, and I am being now shot with not just ads, but with
e-mails sent to me, advertising this specific book.


I don't see anything wrong with that,

Now if on the other hand I were to surf on an obscure website for something that I wouldn't be proud of being known......

But I guess most of us, would rather receive specific targeted advertising for stuff we usually purchase and that we are interested in,
rather than receive advertising for stuff we are just not interested in.

And if we're not OK, I guess we would still be able to eliminate cookies from our PC, or go radical and stop using the net, and ditch the cell phone.....
Well, maybe that would be too radical.....

Just a thought.......

The website sends emails every other day and they persist they have been canceled. I don't where they got their info from but they would look foolish if they renewed it. I went to my browser too and couldn't find anything after I saw that the show was being cancelled on that website. I have been following this website for 3 years or so and they've been very reliable in their statements. For all of you who watch the program I hope they don't cancel the show. As said before you get into a program that you enjoy and the networks pull the rug from under you.

I read that report on the above mentioned website, it said they got their intel from "insiders".

So, not precisely kosher.

Anyway, I'm probably sounding very selfish here, but I sincerely hope the show won't be cancelled.

This Piper kid or whatever she is has been able to hook me to shis show.
