Me too, but it doesn't seem like many are watching! I'm so afraid it's going to be cancelled. I'm telling everyone I know about it in a lame hope of getting more people watching!

No, I love it, too- it's my favorite after 'Downton' for sure. Are ratings bad??

Well, then people don't know what they're missing. IMO- it's really the best thing on TV (True Detective is great, too). I will do all the promotion I can...

Facebook has previews and season videos up. I put them up on my Facebook, hoping to get a few more people interested. Ive been tempted to post about it in a housewives thread here, just to get people to watch. Ha! :$

Maybe it's not that bad though. It looks like they are getting the most desirable demographic.

Perhaps people don't know it's on. This always happens to me with FX, TNT and USA. I never seem to know when the shows start. lol- I love White Collar - just fun for me and I never make the premiere. At least we have in demand. I am surprised that people aren't watching from last year. Maybe they are watching on another genre like hulu etc. I don't know. I'm still watching but I DVR it and watch it later. I don't know how they add those to the ratings.

Hold on that said it went up on the opener. Why did you said it was bad?

Not bad from last year, a slight rise, but still, look at the stupid shows that beat it! With all the press it got, I thought it would pull in Mad Men numbers this year. They really should have had a marathon of the first season, for people to get caught up.

That second link shows a nice rise in the most coveted demographic though, so that's good.

I just don't think people watch tv like they used to and most still watch network. So they tape something and watch another. If it's up from last year it's doing well.

I love Psych! Best unwatched show on tv but then again it's been on for years so see they can continue bc they are replayed so often. The rest of the shows are big syndi shows. I never watched that duck D and have no plans to but I suppose it attracts some kind of audience

Remember a show like the Americans requires and investment in time - the others are one offs. You can just turn them on for a night. I think that may be the main reason. Seems fine to me though. You'll never get huge ratings on fx like you will on main networks

Can we possibly move this to the TV Drama thread? I got lost! (I can deal now that I know it's here, though, just a suggestion.)

I've missed the past 2 episodes but looks like they are re-running ep 2, I think, on Wednesday (tomorrow) then I think they have a new one (episode 3).

FX is not available on-demand from my provider. I loved this show last year and am so glad it's back, it sucks that the ratings aren't higher. However, ccc, I disagree about not necessarily being able to get the ratings like on main networks - I think Breaking Bad and Mad Men have had great ratings on AMC, and they are episodic. I think The Americans just isn't blogged about and in the media as much.

Another amazing episode. We need to clue more "freshies" into this fabulous show.

That girl on the bus she met is SO KGB though! I'm pretty sure she gave the "aunt" a head's up that she was coming. So the aunt was pretending senility or what?

I swear, I could watch this show on a loop. They can make cooking dinner an edge-of-your-seat moment. Everything is so tense.

I loved the guy in the factory and that she didn't kill him. So tense, and so smart, he knew, but just scrambled to humanize himself and hope she, later they, would let him live. He won't tell because he doesn't want his kid killed. Kids kids kids, but I'm loving it.

Kids and the complications with them give this such a realistic tension. I also loved that she chose not to tell their friend's son that his parents were spies. Why ruin his life more? Her 100% patriotic spy face is softening now that she has children of her own. That's huge for her.

Still loving the Russian double agent too, but I can't imagine she will really be able to fool FBI guy for too long. He's going to be so pissed at himself.

Love this show so much.

Amazing! Even watching twice in a row it flew by, and I'm ready to watch again. I didn't get that at ALL that the Girl is KGB- and the whole Aunt thing confused me- can you explain? Please?
